Garden Talk Watering and fall planting tips for trees and bulbs
A dry fall requires watering small trees and ornamentals with two five gallon pails to ensure soil moisture. Water once a week or more as soil in dry weather absorbs quickly. Parsnips stay in the ground until spring. Frost ends most vegetation but transplanting trees evergreens and early blooming bulbs remains possible. Plant lettuce radish carrot and other early crops now and save seeds from good squash musk or watermelon. Farm crops have yielded.
Weather and farming notes on drought era harvests and wildlife
In light soils yields were low though harvest weather has been unusually favorable with sunny mild days. Soybeans show more drought resistance than corn while beans yield fair to excellent. Windy dry spells persist with a single light shower and no rain in sight. Farmers plow and disk fields preparing for next season and advise leaving soil residue to reduce erosion. Wildlife reports note blue wing teal migrating south, ducks and geese present in reserves, and fishing ceasing as temperatures fall. Apples are all off the trees.
Radial Tires Fall Short on Snow Versus Snow Tires
The National Safety Council reports tests from Stevens Point Wisconsin showing radial tires lack the traction of snow tires across snow conditions. Seven radial brands were compared with bias belted highway and snow tires. snow tires delivered better grip in moving and stationary tests. Earlier tests found radial tires offer no advantage on glare ice. Municipalities weighing changes to ordinances should note snow tires outperform radials without snow tread.

Culver Clear on OPEC Investment Fears in U.S. Land
Senator John Culver says a Commerce Department interim report, prepared with Treasury under the 1974 Foreign Investment Study Act, suggests fears of OPEC nations buying large U.S. land tracts and controlling key industries are unlikely due to incomplete data. He notes the study finds foreign investments can have a favorable impact on employment.
