NOVEMBER 1». 1W7 IN YOUR GARDEN , s- F«U Garden Chare* With the end of the gardening season rapidly approaching, it is time to get the yard and garden ready for winter. University of Illinois Extension horticulturist, James A. Fix- zell, offers these suggestions for finishing up the garden year. As long as temperatures remain moderate, lawns will continue to grow, says FixseU. Keep cutting the grass as long as it needs it. If allowed to grow tall, the grass will fall over and become matted during winter. Grass in this condition is especially susceptible to fungus diseases such as snow mold. Keep leaves raked up. If they accumulate on the lawn they, too, can smother out the grass. Fizsell believes burning or throwing away leaves is a waste of good organic material. The leaves can be shredded and dug into the garden this fall, he says. Add some nitrogen fertiliser, and as the leaves decay they will improve the condition of the garden soil. If burying is iooonvenfent, start a compost heap. Fizsell recommends selecting an out of the way spot in your yard. Dig a pit or build a frame of rough lumber eighteen inches deep and six feet square with a divider down the middle. Good drainage is important. Fill one half of the area with a one foot layer of leaves, grass clippings, or other coarse organic matter from the garden. Cover with three in­ ches of soil. Add another layer of leaves and more soil. Apply one pound of 10-10-10 fertilizer and water the pile thoroughly. In a few months you will want to turn the pile over into the other half of the frame to mix it and aerate it. According to Fizzell, sum­ mer bulbs such as cannas, gladiolus and dahlias should be lifted now. Cut dahlias back to 6" tall, dig whole clumps, dry and store in a cool basement in dry vermiculite. Dig glads when tops yellow Dry the whole (riant for several weeks in a warm place. Then remove new conns and store in onion bags at 40 degrees F. Handle cannas the same as dahlias. As the season ends, collect all tools and equipment. Clean them and wipe the metal with an oily rag. Sharpen hoes and shovels. Make a list of tools needing repair or replacement and leave the list in a con­ spicuous place ; for an inquisitive Christmas shopper.. Replace the oil in the lawnmower. Pour gasoline from the tank, crank the machine up and let it rim until it runs out of gas. Then remove the plug, pour in some oil and turn the engine over to oil valves and cylinder walls. Cover the exhaust with a tin can. Left over pesticides can be a dangerous problem. Collect all pesticides and move them to a frost free ventilated place which can be locked. Dispose of any containers without labels. Store only in the original container. Then make the final entries in your notebook. When the snow flies, Fizzell concludes, you can be snug and warm next to the fire, confident that when spring arrives, you'll be ready for it. Cut-Off Warnings A new law, effective this winter, requires that electric or gas utilities notify local of- . ficials at least 24 hours before disconnecting residential heating service during the months of November through Marhc. The Illinois Commerce commission has begun , reminding township super­ visors, county sheriffs and local health departments that they will receive notice from utilities of any residential heating cut-offs not requested by the customer involved.
