Guard Flowers Against Mildew Brilliant flowers can easily become tainted with mildew if precautions are not taken during August. Hot days, humid nights, and heavy dews encourage mildew infection. The symptom of. this fungus disease is a white powder on stems and leaves. On some plants such as roses, the young shoots are infected first. Other plants show symptoms on lower leaves. Although insightly, mildew does not usually cause serious harm to most plants. Flowers most likely to be affected are begonia, campanula, chrysanthemum, delphinium, phlox, rose,, snapdragon and zinnia. In some cases, tuberous begonia and zinnia may be severly damaged. The best precaution is to provide good air circulation and a sunny location. Remove plant competition near the flowers and water only during daylight hours. Spray pontr91 is recommended in , earl$1 August before the ïdisease gains ground, especlally for prize flowers to, be shown at fail fairs. Spray or dust the plants with benlate, benomyl or any mildew fungicide. Benlate may become ineffective with repeated use. Always follow the label. Cracks in the brickwork of this building behind the Coronation Restaurant are plentiful. The bricks above the hole are held up by one nail. Hobbs says that if children happen to remove a few bricks the whole wall could corne crashing down. taking a gas line with it, probably resulting in a fire. The roof on a ramsbackle building behind the Laundromat on King Street looks about ready to cave in and when it does, someone could be seriously injured, said Hobbs. Council talks about building up the central business section but doesn't seem to care about the unsightly and unsafe conditions behind the stores on main street, he said. Chief Building Officer Harold Wight has been urging council for some time to pass a maintenance and occupancy by-law. Such a by-law would prescribe standards for the maintenance of property within the municipality. It would give town officiais the power to require property owners to repair and dlean up property that does not conform to the by-law's standards. Wight says that although the municipality does have a by- law for unsafe buildings, it is very difficult to enforce. ,Judgingba structure unsafe is. very subjective and we could easily overstep our bounds, he explains. The municipality bas received many complaints over the years about eyesores, structurally unsafe buildings, junkyards, etc. and Wight feels the only Way to deal with them is througb a maintenance and occupancy by-law. Councillor Hobbs agrees but worries about what could happen in the interim. Also behind the Coronation Restaurant is this charred eyesore. Home Economie Footnotes By Linda Caldwell, Home Economist Ontario Sweet Corn Indescrlbably Delious Fresh Ontario sweet corn is on the market now, available from local food stores, roadside markets and pick- your-own farms. Treat yourself to corn-on-the-cob often during the season, which continuès through August until the end of September. To fully enjoy the delicious flavour and tenderness of sweet corn, food specialists at- the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food remindi us how important it is to eat corn as soon after picking or purchasing as possible. In just 24 hours after pickîng, corn can lose up to 50 percent of its sugar. So refrigerate the corn and plan to use it the day you buy il. If it is absolutely necessary to store corn, keep it in the refrigerator with the husks on and use it the next day. Food specialists suggest a couple of tbings to watch'for to determine the freshness of the corn before you buy it. Choose cobs that have fresh- lookîng green outer husks and dry silks. As the corn -gets older, the silk will start to fali out. It isn't necessary to peel back the husk of th e cob to determine the maturity-of the corn. Just hold the cob tigbtly at the silk end, which is the last part of the ear to mature. If the corn is ready, you will be able to feel the fîrm large kernels tbrough the husk. The last step before sinking sweet corn is to cook it to perfection. Ail it takes is 5 to 7 minutes for medium - to large- size cobs in boiling water. Longer cooking toughens the kernels. Remove the cobs from the water as soon as they're cooked. They will become water-soaked and lose flavour if lef t in the cooking water. Now, enjoy that indescribably delicious flavour! A hemophiliac can have a tooth pulled - but only if there is enough Factor VIII, the clotting factor. Factor VIII is a component of blood plasma and the blood is donated at Red Cross blood donor clinics across Canada. directions. Applications of most mildew fungicides should be repeated at 7-10 day intervals or after heivy rains, until the disease is under control. Diseased plant parts should be removed to prevent spread of the disease. Starting a prevention program early will improve the appearance of your showcase flowers .
