Rowley May 1,1980 ROOTED IN AMERICAN FREE ENTERPRISE I Of Apples and Roses Mom said I could play at Kenny's place for an hour. I liked to go there, especially in the fall and in the spring. In the fall, the ripe apples hung crisp and juicy on the trees, waiting to be picked and put into the cellar. Kenny and I would play cowboys in the orchard. or-chard. When we got hungry, which was quite often, we'd climb a tree and sit on a limb' for a snack. I wished I had my own apple trees, but this was about as good. In spring, Kenny's grandma had a yard full of pretty roses. I'd stop by her little house, right next door to Kenny's, just before my hour was up. She would take out her big scissors and cut some nice roses for me to take home for Mom. Mom was always thrilled when I brought them in the house and would hold them near her nose for a while, with her eyes shut and a smile on her face. Many years have passed since I played with Kenny in those central Arizona mountains. But I've learned that lots of people besides Mom and I like apples and roses. Even in the Uintah Uin-tah Basin, where extra care is often needed to make them produce, I find yards and orchards that are planting memories of apples and roses in little boys and girls. I enjoy being a part of it all. (0) Don't get "stuck" with bareroot rosebushes!

' I 1 f ED ROWLEY j Grasshoppers Are Coming! The other day I noticed some kind of tiny bugs hopping off the leaves of the weeds as I walked through the back lot. Close examinations examina-tions showed them to be tiny grasshoppers, some only a sixteenth of an inch long. They had just hatched from the eggs that were laid in the ground last fall. The next morning I was out early with my spayer full of malathion solution. You can control grasshoppers much easier if you spray them now, while they're young. Diazinon and malathion will both do the job. Spray all the weeds around the edges of the garden and in vacant lots. Be careful to spray when the air is still usually early morning mor-ning or late evening, and when other people are not around. Follow the precautions on the insecticide label. If you act now, you can save your raspberries raspber-ries and the rest of the garden from these destructive pests. 'PHI St ark Tm-s Bear Fruit. Since 1KKS.
