i' PUBLIC FORUM... FOND MEMORIES ON FATHER'S DAY Viewing the zest with which Mother's Day was hailed, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Wn., initiated Father's Day in 1910. Ever ~sinc.e, the third Sunday of June is the special day for Dads. My first real introduction to it came in June of 1950 while I lay in the hospital. A very inexpensive, framed poem wasn't about to arouse interest until it was read to me by my oldest son -- who had engineered the idea. It has become a prized possession since. It went like this: "Dads are men whose lives are spent... In working hard each day. • . In tending to the family needs • . . In brightening their way; In sharing and in caring... And in sacrificing too... In working out a problem... And in making dreams come true; Dads are men who smooth the road... For those who follow after... And help to make the home a place... Of cheer and fun and laughter... And while they seldom ever get... The loving praise they rate... They may be sure their families think... They're absolutely GREAT!" Now in later years, as memories unfold across the meadows of our minds, we fondly remember all the precious moments shared with the man of the day, our DAD! M.V.

"Sup- porting the plants on frames or stakes helps minimize fruit rot and keep the branches out of the reach of slugs." Support structures also improve air circulation around the tomato plant which helps prevent disease such as late blight. To be effective, supports should be one to five feet high, and about 18 inches in diameter. They can be made of wood or concrete-reinforc- ing wire. Concrete-reinforcing wire is pre- ferred because the holes in the wire are large enough to reach through when gathering tomatoes. Because of its small mesh, chicken wire is not recommended for tomato plant supports. Supporting tomato plants with stakes involves a bit more work because the smaller plant shoots must he removed to eliminate extra side branches. Leave one to three main stems on the plant, McNeilan suggests. 11; necessary up to three stakes can be used• The stakes should be put in place when the plants are young to prevent damage to the roots. A novel but effective way of supporting tomato plants is to place a discarded automobile tire around them. One tire casing per plant is adequate. II I "Tire casings have several ad- vantages over more conventional plant supports," McNeilan ex- plains. "Tomato plants protected by old tires usually grow faster because the tire absorbs heat dur- ing the day and releases it to the tomato plant at night. The tire also tends to keep the plant upright and off the ground." SPRAYS CONTROL MOTHS, FLIES ON FRUIT TREES Biting into a freshly-picked ap- ple, cherry or pear and finding a worm burrowing through it can be an appetite-killing experience. The best way to keep worms from taking up residence in peaches, cherries and apples is to start a spraying program for home fruit trees now. "Early control of the coddling moth and cherry fruit fly will help keep apples, cherries and pears free of worm infestations," says Ray McNeilan, Oregon State Uni- versity Extension home gardening agent. The cherry fruit fly emerges in early June, and begins laying eggs under the skin of developing cher- ries. The eggs hatch in five to seven days and maggots mature in 14 to 20 days. Once eggs have been deposited in cherries, nothing can be done to prevent wormy cherries, the gar- dener points out. Control is direct- ed to killing the flies .during the interval between their emergence and the time they deposit eggs, a period of about ten days. Methoxychlor, Sevin and diazi- non are recommended for use on the cherry fruit fly. Apply the sprays beginning in early June with additional applications every seven to ten days until harvest. "The flies rest on foliage other than that of cherry trees, so spray nearby trees and shrubs if possi- ble," McNeilan advises. The codling moth is the adult stage of the worm that infests apples and pears. The adults lay eggs throughout the summer, making control difficult. Several insecticides are available that provide excellent control, Mc- Neilan notes. Diazinon and meth- oxychlor should be applied to apple and pear trees now and repeated at three week intervals through the summer. Be sure to follow all label directions on any sprays pur- chased.
