Looks like it's going to be another one of those years Here is a roundup of die most common? diseases and insects to date for this season In recent memory I cannot recall ever seeing as many samples of dis--- eases and I bug damage as I have this year Seriously every gardener that comes to see me is carry- ' V ing a sample 0T & 1 an effort to curb the social ills associated with divorce some states are In investing in education for couples planning to marry By Kkn Campbell The Christian Science Monitor nne Johnson and Lloyd want to get married someday but they are approaching the altar cautiously Both have been divorced before As they contemplate saying “I do” die two are seeking help to ensure this relationship Hay-hur- st ' -- — — — --— — of some lasts mutilated leaf and they want something to kill ' whatever it is that has done the damage If I have to step out of the office for a short while when I return there are 4 or S samples waiting when I get back Don’t get me wrong samplesare great — they make my job so much easier And because of those samples I can deci' pher what plant is behk attacked and what is doing die damage At that point I can help the gardener decide what will work best in his or her particular situation instead of just spraying anything and everything that crawls in their yard So how do you know if you have a disease killing your lawn instead of an insect? Diagnosing diseases is difficult Check the soil for insects Check the soil for dryness or compaction If you can’t find either then take a piece of sod to a local garden center and see if they can help you identify the disease because dial is probably what you bavei Like I wrote earlier diseases are difficult to recognize Dollar Spot Brown Batch Powdery 'Mildew and many other diseases have appeared in numerous lawns this season and done their fair share of damage If you do have a disease die best control is a systemic fungi- -' ride such as Banner or Bayleton They come in either a liquid or i That’s why they are crowded around a table with other couples in the snug offices of Redbud Family Counseling in Oklahoma City on a recent Fnday evening They are here to learn how to avoid marital land mines and how to slow down even the fastest spousal insult Their instructor a plucky therapist and miny ister’s daughter has distilled the workshop mto two goals that fit neady on a board: 1) Learn how to handle con- flict constructively 2) Learn how to maintain and promote intimacy For Ms Johnson and her beau handling conflict starts with being candid about the kind of problems that often divide the sexes like snapdragons UI expected him to know that I like flowers” she says emphatically “Every -- two-da- dry-era- se girl Christian Science Monitor photo Karen Fisher celebrate after receiving their amended marriage license at Boston City Han Married on June 30 of thie year the Fishers' intial license contained an error that made it invalid John mid Karen Fisher have been together (Or nine years They are approaching marriage deliberately saying it's worth it do it right "We’ve been engaged for 4 years” says John Says John regarding marriage: 'Vtfe wanted to do it the right way getting married before we had e family John-an- does” Tm not really a flower buyer” says Ml Hayhurst apologetically “You’re not really going to have them very long anyway” conWhat’s going on in this ference room besides some “When Harry Met SaUy”-stydialogue is one of the nation’s most ambitious attempts to improve the insti- tution of marriage Across the country the quest to strengthen the bond between couples is fast becoming a priority for governments at all levels: After decades of lamenting the nation’s stubborn divorce rate many lawmakers now 7 want to ronfroot the problem early on improving marriages befofe the partners get to the point of dividing up the CDs and the coffee table wagon-wheAt least a dozen states have passed legislation or are considering bills to encourage marriage education In Louisiana this year pov Mike Foster (R) appointed a irommission to look at ways to promote marriage Higjh school seniors in Florida are how required to course before they take a relationship-skil-ls localities diverse as Chat-- 7 as And graduate tanooga Term and Grand Rapids Mich are getting involved in premarital counseling : well-appoint- ed le el ture being tried here and across the country persist two fundamental questions: Can marriage really be taught? And if so should it be the province of government to teach it? That Oklahoma has become the nation's unofficial laboratory for trying to teach the mysteries of marriage may seem unusual After all it isn’t the fust state that comes to mind when you think of divorce Oklahoma has a strong tradition of religious and family values something that’s obvious here where chuTChes are as common as steakhouses and is only a block away the next “Exercise daily: Walk with God” reads a sign In' in front of one Oklahoma City church tiie “buckle” of the Bible Belt as'the state is often called nearly 60 percent of registered! voters say they attend church regularly fhe national average is about 40 percent Nearly of voters identify themselveS as i or evangelical Chris tians The 7 m -- ' President Bush wants everyone to just get along too He has included marriage education in his welfare-reforproposal that Conis this year Tbe rationale is gress taking up that such initiatives will not only help curb divorce rates but also reduce welfare rolls by cutting down on the dumber of births and single-parefamilies Yet the nation’s most extensive experiment ' in improving the covenant between couples — and the one most often cited as a model — is unfolding here on the plains of Oklahoma The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative as it’s called involves churches counselors public and pri- vale socialagencies schools —andthe state’s top husband ‘Tell methe goodness of a system where it is easier to get a marriage license than a hunt’ ing license says Gov: Frank Keating (R) one and chief its the of originatorsoftiie program cheerleader “In Oklahtnna today you have to ’ take a course before you can get a hunting licensed Yet underneath the great social ven-- ‘ nt - ' mini-serm- on to a lawn can last for up to months' Once the diseue is under control it may fake 4 weeks for ' tfaie lawn to recuperate 7 I 1 haven’t taken die time to look up those pesky black caterpillars with the yellowish-whit- e stripes sol don t know exactiy what their offi-- I 7 See MARRIACE&B2 ' dal name is' but I sure have seen a ji- jj" kit of them in the last week Where 7 7 did theysll come from?
