T o m a t o e s , cucumbers, beans, melons, and other crops already through for the year should be cleaned up. Also, it is helpful to get rid of weeds in the area, as, they-may harbor insect pests this winter. Before pulling up crops, take a m i n u t e t o r e c o r d w h e r e everything was planted to help plan crop rotations next spring. Cleaning up fallen leaves is a major chore for just about all homeowners this time of year. Leaves are excellent sources of organic matter to add to garden «;oils, even fresh off the tree. Shredded leaves will decompose much faster than whole leaves, especially large types. Composted partially rotted leaves are the hest choice for adding to the soil, because they work in much faster Leaves can also be used as a mulch over perennial beds. Besides clearing off leaves, mowing is the primary chore that needs to be practiced on home lawns in October. Continue to mow at the same height or slightly lower than the height the lawn has been mowed at, but do not go any lower than 2 inches. It is now too late for reseeding, because the new seedlings won't have enough time to get established before winter sets in. Also, do not fetilize lawns in October, because lush topgrowth may lead to snowmold or winter kill problems. As mentioned in this column a few weeks ago, October is the time for planting spring flowering bulbs. Plant tulips four to six in ches deep, narcissi (daffodils) six to eight inches deep, hyacinths three to four inches deep, and crocus, ga 1 an thus (snowdrops), muscari (grape hyacinth) and dwarf iris about three inches deep. Remember that good soil drainage is the key for success with spring flower bulbs. Mass or group plantings of similar species is usually the most effective way to use these flowers in the land scape. Fall is an excellent time for ad ding organic matter to garden soils. As mentioned earler, leaves are a good source that is readily available this time of year. Other good choices include compost, peat or sphagnum moss, grass clippings and composted manure. Till these materials into the top six to eight inches of soil before the ground freezes. Alternating freezing/thawing cycles over the winter will help them blend into the existing soil. season has arrived In the last column the im- jportance of influenza vaccinations | for anyone in the "high-risk" <group was discussed.

DAY N Body temperatures may climb rapidly to 101 or 102 degrees Fahrenheit during the first day of symptoms. It usually peaks at 103 degrees Fahrenheit or less. As a rule, the fever goes down gradual ly over a few days, but, then again, it may drop quickly only to rise on the third day. Ordinarily, it lasts about three days, but it may last for as long as a week. As the fever drops, stuffiness and a cough may develop. Once this stage is reached, recovery is on the way. An overly tired feeling can last for a week or more. People in Vfery poor health, may take even longer to get strength back following as bout with the flu. A loose cough may linger for a few weeks. Symptoms of influenza don't in elude cramps, vomiting or diar rhea. These are symptoms of what is commonly called "intestinal or stomach flue." This illness is caused by a virus, too, but not one of the influenza viruses. When many family, friends and coworkers are becoming sick with influenza and the air is laden with viruses, it's almost impossible to avoid getting in the path of a few coughs and sneezes. However, there are a few sensible precau tions to take. Keep up resistance by getting plenty of rest and eating regular, well-balanced meals. For the short duration of an influenza outbreak, stay out of crowds as much as possible and w a s h h a n d s f r e q u e n t l y a n d thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If a family member has influen za, keep his or her dishes and towels separate from the rest of the family's. The sick person should cover his coughs and sneezes with paper tissues and drop them at once into a paper bag. Replace the bag frequently. ' Most doctors recomend bed rest for the treatment of influenza. Aspirin helps ease the pain and br- ing down the fever. Drink a lot of fluids especially in the presence of high fever. Non^of the antibiotics are effec tive against viruses; however, physicians may prescribe an an tibiotic if another kind of infection develops as a result of the flue Don't, however, take prescription medicine unless prescribed by a physician. Staying at home for at least two £ays after the fever is gone is Highly recommended.
