Show t I I DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, FEBRUARY 25, 1981 WEEKLY REFLEX Hints On Care Of Fruit Trees The Selection and Care of Fruit Trees in the Home was the topic coOrchard vered Saturday by David E. Whiting, urban horticulturist at the spring yard and garden class series that is currently being held under the sponsorship of the Davis County Extension Service. State 3A Picture Still Muddled THIRTEEN classes are offered throughout the spring. All classes are held at the USU Horticultural Farm, By DAVE 1817 North Main, Farmington. Three main topics w ere discussed during the presentation on selection and care of fruit trees. 1. The selection of fruit trees; 2. Factors affecting fruit production; 3. Common diseases. WIGHAM The state 3A basketball tournament is just a week away but there are still some unanswered questions concerning who is going and in what spot. Playoffs and more playoffs are scheduled for this week and it wont really be known until this Saturday just who will play who. THERE ARE a few clubs that know where and when they play but in most cases their opponents are undecided. Viewmont won the title in Region Five and will play Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. against the third place team from Division Two of Region Six. Currently there are three teams in the running for that spot. Davis is awaiting the winner on Wednesday for third place in Region Four. Then the loser of the Wednesday game, involving Davis, will play Bountiful on Friday for the final spot. SWIMMING SO HERE THEN is the lineup and possibilities for the state tournament: Upper bracket, Monday - Region 6, Div. 1 No. 1 (Provo) vs. Region 4 No. 4 (Davis, Bear River or Ben Lomond) or Region 5 No. 4 (Bountiful); Region 6 Div. 11 No. 1, (Carbon, Dixie or Springville) vs. Region 7 No. 3 (Cyprus); Region 4 No. (Ogden) vs. Region 6, Div. 1 No. 3 (Timpview); Region 7 No. 2 (Jordan) vs. Region 5 No. 2 (Highland). POOL MASCOT Meet KC. He lives in Kaysville and has no place to swim but the local reservoir and thats off limits. Kaysville and Fruit Heights residents are joining together for a fund drive to raise enough money to build a swimming pool for KC and all his friends. Donations are tax deductible and can be made by calling Beth Reid at 376-911- WHEN BUYING a new fruit tree, the first thing to consider is the appearance of the tree. Does it look healthy? Mr. Whiting says "If the tree looks healthy, chances are it is." Avoid purchasing trees that have been excessively pruned or that have scarred or discolored bark. It is difficult to recommend certain varities of fruit trees because it takes so many years for a tree to mature to a fruit bearing age. By the time the tree is grown and tested, the variety is obsolete. Since the fruit growing industry is now one of the largest worldwide industries, most testing is done by private industry. THE YIELD from a fruit tree is affected by many things. Mr. Whiting says you can't expect a good fruit crop each year. Cold weather in winter will kill the bud set and lower fruit 1 flying. IF AN extreme hot spell occurs as the fruit ripens in the late summer, the crop for the following year is affected. The blossoms have to compete with the maturing fruit for sugar. The warmer the weather, the more sugar a tree needs. Watering patterns also affect the quality and amount of fruit. Mr. Whiting says a fruit tree uses less water than a lawn or a vegetable garden. Trees have the ability to reach four feet underground for their water supply. Trees planted in clay soils should be watered every ten days. Watering sandy soils is done every 20 days. WATERING TOO often and too close to the trunk of the tree can cause root rot. the most common cause of tree death. Water trees at the root line or around the outside edge of the tree. Because peach trees receive 40 percent of their size the last three weeks of maturity, it is important to adequately water peach trees just before the fruit is ripe. MR. WHITING gave several tips on the control of disease and the use of sprays. He said, never to use Sevin on a fruit tree. Lady bugs will hatch about the same time as aphids. A wise fruit grower will watch to see if the lady bugs can naturally control the aphids. A dormant oil spray mixed 0 LOWER BRACKET, Tuesday - Region 5 No. No. 3 (Dixie, Car(Viewmont) vs. Region 6 Div. bon or Springville); Region 6, Div. 1 No. 2 (Mountain View) vs. Region 4 No. 2 (Box Elder); Region 7 No. (Judge) vs. Region 4 No. 3 (Davis, Ben Lomond or Bear River); Region 6 Div. No. 2, (Carbon, Dixie or Springville) vs. Region 5 No. 3 (West). 1 1 production. Hot w eather in the summer will also adversely affect fruit production. Various forms of stress such as heat, cold, improper watering, insects and improper fertilization will cause fruit production to decrease. If a tree blossoms during cold or cloudy weather it may not get proper pollination because the bees won t be with equal parts of diazinon or some other insecticide should be applied late in March or ear 0 1 ly in April. This is the first step towards good pest control. NITROGEN fertilizer can bg applied any time between late November and early March. Apply all fertilizer not later than one month before bloom in the spring. Fertilizer should be applied in a band below the drip line (outer edge of the branches). The amount ot fertilizer is determined by the size of the tree and the appearance and past history of growth the fruit production of the tree. The two biggest disease and pest problems in fruit trees are root rot and coddling moths. Root rot is a fungus and inter-fer- s with everyting that happens to the tree. Control of this problem can be accomplished by keeping water away from the base of the tree. Mound the dirt slightly around the tree trunk so water will run off and not puddle near the trunk. The graft union on a tree is very sensitive to root rot. CODDLING MOTH is the pest that makes apples and pears wormy. This is hard Ho control. The larva hatches at blossom time and continually throughout the summer. Spraying for coddling moth should begin two weeks after blossoming. Diazinon can be used but the tree should be completely soaked if it is to be effective. Imidan, a soluable powder, is the best pesticide for the control of coddling moth. This chemical is highly toxic. When applying a person needs to wear protective clothing and a respirator. MR. WHITING says the price of insecticides is often more than the apple crop is worth. Newsletter No. 3125 and 9 booklets and are helpful aids to anyone w ho wants to know more about the care of fruit trees. EC-36- 3 EC-38- 1 - IT WASNT AN easy time for the favored Falcons though as they needed two clutch foul shots from Freddie Cook to edge Layton 8 and thus revenge their only loss in league play. With the win the Clearfield in region acbunch stand tion with Roy and Bonneville breathing right down their necks at Weber is next in line with a 5 mark with Layton in hot pursuit at Sky View gave Bonneville a scare last Friday but still find themselves winless in league play and on the cellar at ONE THING THAT may turn out to be ironic is the fact that the way it shapes up Viewmont will meet Springville in the opening round. And then if both win their first games they would play Box Elder the second night. If youll recall those are the first two games the Vikes played in last years contest also. One would have to say that the upper bracket is the toughest with Provo, Ogden and Highland all in there. The lower one is headed by Viewmont and Judge, who is the defending state champion. 60-5- 1 0-- THINGS COULD straighten themselves out a lot this week Kathleen Day, a teenage girl from Layton, is the first young Utah Angus breeder to earn a silver award in the American Angus Association's National Jr. Recognition program. SHOULD BE A great tournament. Provo, Viewmont, Highland, Ogden would have to rate as favorites in this reporter's eye. Judge won their league but it was a weak one. West is playing well but lacks the height. Mountain View has shown they can play with the best by knocking off Provo.

Layne Sackett continued to score well adding 10 in a losing effort. NOW BOTH clubs can forget about each other for awhile and face up to their opponents this week. Clearfield needs the win over Sky View to keep sole possession of first place, a loss would enable the winner to claim part of first place. The Falcons can't take these Bobcats lightly. The Lakers of Bonneville might have done that last week and they had to fight for their lives to come away with a narrow three point win. IN THEIR first meeting the Clearfield bunch played a good ball game and earned a 72-5- 5 victory with Nye, Johnson and Pratt scoring well. This is one team in the league that the Falcons can matchup with as far greenhand award and the THIS SUMMER, Kathleen will enter the National Jr. Angus Heifer Show in Nashville, Tenn.

Champion Cattle Breeder Some say Bountiful was unlucky. If they win the playoff on Friday they draw Provo the first night, Mike Hall has a good record against the Bulldogs and dont count the Braves out before they play. 6 THE GAME went down to the final seconds when senior Cook tanked both ends of a pressure packed one and one situation to give the home Clearfield team the two point win. The dynamic trio of Cook, Troy Nye and Dewey Pratt once again led the Clearfield parade with 14, 14 and 16 6-- REGION FOUR should be shot for this tournament format they have come up w ith for this week. If they operated like the rest of the state then Davis would go as the third place squad while Ben Lomond would play off with Bountiful. As it looks now the Scots of Ben Lomond could win Tuesday, lose Wednesday and then play again Friday. A coaches dream, right? THE competition is open to with boys and girls grades eight categories of competition: four for boys 4 grade, concerned. Clearfield travels up north to battle Sky View while the two clubs right behind them, Roy and Bonneville, will battle each other. Layton meanwhile is chasing the Weber squad for the fourth place finish and a trip to the state tournament. This Friday the Lancers will host those Warriors. Everyone knew the game last week between these two bitter rivals would be a classic, and that it was. Both sides took turns enjoying the hot hand from the field with Layton taking charge in the first half and the Falcons taking their turn in the second half. CLEARFIELD Things stayed about the same in Region One warfare last week as the Falcons of Clearfield nipped rival Layton to keep a one game cushion over two other clubs on top of league standings. So there are the matchups. The only games that know who they are playing are Ogden against Timpview, Jordan against Highland and Mountain View against Box Elder. The Clearfield Recreation Department will host the Basketball Hot-shcontest for Clearfield residents on Thursday, Feb. 26 at the Clearfield High School new gym starting at 6 p.m. as far as both local schools are By DAVE WIGHAM 1 1 was established was recently expanded to include and encourage more junior members to strive for excellence. The American Angus Association is the world's largest beef breed registry with 8,400 active junior members and 28,000 active life members. Gymnastics Classes Offered In Clearfield Clearfield Recreation Dept, will conduct beginning and termediate gymnastic classes, scheduled to start March 5 and ending April 31. There will be two sessions that run eight weeks long and two sessions that meet twice a week for four weeks. KATHLEEN is the 16 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCalmant of 598 North Highway 89, Layton. She became interested in cattle breeding when her family lived in Oregon and raised registered Angus cattle. At the age of 9, Kathleen began to show cattle through the program. She served as the president and vice president of the Snake River Club.

Session 4: as height goes since neither has a real big man to speak of. Sky View has some fine shooters with Smith and Stevens being their main threats. Layton faces a must win situation in their game with Weber. The Warriors have a one game lead over Layton for that important fourth place in league. If Weber wins then they would have a two game lead with only one remaining and would assure themselves of fourth place. Should Layton win then it would come down to the final game to determine fourth place. IN THEIR first meeting up on Weber hardwood the Lancers got a great scoring effort out of senior Layne Sackett who had a game high 29 points with Jeff Pearce adding 16. To stop Weber, a team must contain Kelly Johnson, although Brian Coleman had been playing well for them. Johnson has the size and shooting ability to be a thorn in the side of any opponent. This league will finish up on Tuesday of next week with Layton taking on Sky View and Clearfield hosting Roy. In both cases the outcome of Friday would be vital. Clearfield could wrap up the region crown with a couple of wins while Layton would go to the state tournament with a couple. A split by either team could be fatal but two losses by either would kill both of them. Arts And Crafts Classes Offered An arts and crafts class will be offered by Clearfield Re- creation Department to children ages The class will be taught by Linda Tucker, owner of Lake Side Arts and Crafts on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The class will run six weeks starting March 11 and ending April 15.
