Only fruits and vegetables that are more sensitive to salinity like strawberries, ra- dishes, celery, or green beans may be affected with this water. Pinto beans, Alsike, Ladino or red clover could also be damaged. Affected have retarded plants may growth, discoloration of the leaves or other abnormalities. If problems occur from salinity, Stevens said, apply 15 to 20 per cent more water than the plants require. This will ' leach or wash much of the salts out of the topsoil and carry it below the roots of the plants. Water from Dalton Well should not have a detrimental affect on lawns and it is unlikely that it will harm shrubs or trees. However, less is known about saline sensitivity of shrubs, ornamental trees or flowers, so observe those plants for signs of damage. Leaf burn may occur on some plants if you sprinkle irrigate with the water from this well. Leaf burn is a condition when the outer edge of the leaves turn dry and brown and appear to be dying. This condition occurs when saline water evaporates rapidly from the leaves. If leaf burn occurs sprinkle early in the morning or at night and when there is little wind. Flood irrigation can also prevent leaf burn. The rusty red color of the Dalton Well water is due to oxidation of the iron but the concentration is low enough that it is harmless to soils or plants. Other minerals in this water are also low in concentration and are not harmful. The analysis indicates that the water from this well can be used for livestock without harming them in any way, Stevens said. meeting 4-- H There will be a meeting for at 10 oclock this all Friday morning, June 10, in front of the courthouse in Mo4-H- ers nticello to work on their com- munity service project.

He suggested that I gather some of the seeds for future planting, but when I looked for them, they were gone, I thought. Upon careful search, we discovered that those dear flowers had actually curled down their long stems around the seed and had tucked that seed right next to the heart of the vine and close to the ground where it could have the very best chance to grow and be protected from unkind invasion. tree o by Alvin Reiner Bret Shumway, the son of cate. vari-color- O Rattlesnake bites boy velous stories in the old Book and Ive been told that there are numerous ways given in the Book on how to solve our problems; in fact someone said it outlines a complete way to live without getting into trouble.
