Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVl LEADER, JULY 1, 1982 Now Is The Time To Launch Your Fight Against Those Pesky Grasshoppers FARMINGTON Now is the time to launch your fight against the grasshopper. If you live adjacent to unplowed lands such as vacant lots, road foothills, etc. expect a nice crop of grasshoppers again this season. No easy right-of-way- s, answer exists for grasshopper control, but here are a few suggestions from the USU Extension Service to make control efforts more effective. GRASSHOPPERS live through the winter as eggs laid in the soil. The best control method on grasshoppers is to Malathion would be a good destroy the eggs by plowing or choice where fruits or vegetcultivating the soil in the late ables must be sprayed.

Where this is not practical, a border spray will be helpful. The No School Problem, Or Keeping Kids Busy There is a strange malady that, each summer, affects most every American family. Its called School's Out." THE FIRST symptoms of the disease occur a week to ten days after school recesses for the summer. It usually affects children first and is manifest by such comments as, Im bored, and What is there to do around this place? As the illness spreads, parents are also struck and begin to exhibit a markedly hostile temper-men- t. According to Randy Chate-lai- n, a marriage and family therapist intern at the Rock Mountain Family Institute in Ogden and part-tim- e faculty member at Weber State College, the problem is caused mostly by changes in normal routines. children, the same principles of structured and supervised activities apply. Stimulated, learning children are happy, and parents need to keep them active and involved. If we, as parents, dont get them in a structure that keeps them active theyre going to find something else to do. THERES A lot to learn about life and kids can either stumble into it or learn in a structured way. HE SAID, Whenever you disrupt a system it creates stress. With school youve got a system going for nine months and when it gets disrupted its got to create stress and anxiety. Chatelain explained that the way a parent and child adapt to their schedules is mainly a matter of perspective. Parents who think in terms of surviving the summer months usually make themselves miserable, he said. If they accept the situation as being temporary or just something that they need to tolerate for the next three months until the summers finished, theyll do a better job. DURING THE winter while school is in session, parents in effect have hired someone else to stimulate, motivate, and educate their children. During the summer months that responsibility falls said back to the parents, Chatelain. He said the process of positively structuring summer time is much easier for the parent whose relationship with the child goes beyond the functional activities of feedings, bathing and sending to bed. Those who have a good relationship enjoy their children and look forward to the summer. Those who just have custody cant wait until they grow up and leave, dread it, he said. ACTVITIES like field trips, walks, shopping, swimming, picnics, camping, a trip to the zoo and others can be positive experiences for a child if they are done with parent supervihe sion and participation, said.

WORK IS a valuable thing to teach children during summer months, along with other positive character traits that schools do not teach. Parenting, he said, is working yourself out of a job. But you have to do that as such a pace that the child can accept that responsibility. he said, TOO OFTEN, children are allowed to wan- der relatively unrestrained while parents work either in the home or at outside employment. These kids are much more likely to get into trouble, he said.

Quilting has been popular in Utah from Pioneer days to the present. To help promote traditional hand quilting, Utah State University has sponsored the Festival of the American West Quilt Contest every year. The state contest is held in conjunction with the Festival of the American West at USU. THIS YEAR it will run from July 30 to August 7. In order for a quilt to be entered in the state contest it must first be entered in an area contest. The quilts from the Weber River area contest will be on display at the Layton Hills Mall from All of the quilts in July the contest are handquilted.

Grow Green Or Bulbous Onions When growing onions in your garden , you have a choice of types and varieties for diffe- rent purposes and different time requirements. DR. ALVIN R. Hamson, extension horticulturist, USU, suggests that for storage you oncan grow globular-shape- d ions, such as the Yellow Sweet Spanish that was developed in the 1920s by Dr. Alma Wilson of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, or one of the newer hybrids developed from it. To eat fresh from the garden as scallions (green onions), you can grow varieties such as Evergreen White Bunching planted from seed as early as possible or Ebenezer planted as sets. For pickling, you can plant small white onions such as Crystal White Wax. The Yellow Sweet Spanish or Utah White Sweet Spanish onions are desired by many Utahns for their mildness. They were developed for growing aling the Wasatch Front in Utah. THE HYBRID Snow White, also developed at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, is an early producing mild white onion. Even milder and sweeter is the variety Walla Walla that may be grown from seed in Utah. Onions used in combination with the Yellow Sweet Spanish Type for earlier maturity include hybrids such as early Yellow Globe and Brigham Yellow Globe that have medium-lon- g day length re- quirements and Imperial Spanish or Peckhams Spanish and Cochise Brown that are even Answers to Bible Verse earlier. Remember that the Jesus. 2. The Pharisees 3. Jesus had caused a dumb man to speak. 4. Luke 11:17. bulbing reaction with the earlier varieties will occur earlier. It is important to plant them as early as possible when the soil dries out in the spring, Ham-so- n said. 1. icides UJ some limitations for garden use. It is very toxic to the honey bee and thus must not be applied on or near plants being visited by bees. It is not recommended for use around plants TO ENCOURAGE rapid, early growth of onions, he advises fertilizing them with nitrogen balanced with phosphorous. Ample fertilizer will help in development of large bulbs in the bulbing type onions and for mild, tender, succulent qualities in those used as green onions. He does caution against having excess nitrogen on bulbing onions late in the season as it will cause them to grow so large that they will be soft and will not store well. Since onion roots are just under the bulb quite near the soil surface, attention will be needed to keep adequate moisture near the onions throughout most of the growing season. When the bulbs are nearly mature, remove the water to let the soil dry in preparation for harvest. Plan to harvest them when about 50 percent of the tops have fallen over. HAMSON EXPLAINED that a considerable amount of the increase in bulb size occurs in the last few weeks of growth as the food material translocates from the tops into the bulbs. Avoid harvesting them too early if they want this growth. If you grow bulb type onions for storage, the extension specialist advises that you plan for appropriate care in harvesting and storing them. The process includes digging the bulbs, cutting the tops off about one inch from the bulbs, hold the onions in a shaded area with good ventilation at approximately 80 de- WHERE grees Fahrenheit for two weeks. Then put them in dry 2651 South Main, Bountiful degrees Fahrenheit. Stored in this way, the onions will last well into the next season. THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS storage.
