The health of next year’s ap-ple crop begins now. An import-ant item on the autumn to-do list is apple tree sanitation. Cleaning up the apple tree prevents many problems, or at least minimizes them, and helps next year’s apple tree have less disease and insect trouble, which in turn requires less pesticide spray.

All fallen apples should be picked up and removed as soon as they drop from the tree, or as quickly as you can. Rake up and dispose of apple leaves without adding them to the compost bin or using them for leaf mulch in garden or perennial flowerbeds. Apple leaves shouldn’t be mowed into the lawn, even though that’s a good idea with leaves of other tree types.

Here’s why these sanitation steps are so important. Apple mag-got is a seriously common fruit in-sect problem. Adult flies lay eggs on developing fruit in June. The eggs hatch into larvae that tunnel their way through the apple flesh. When affected apples are cut open, you can see brownish trails, or dis-colored markings through the ap-ple flesh from maggot feeding.

The maggots exit apples that have fallen to the ground and crawl into the soil where they overwin-ter, ready to emerge again as adults

next summer to begin the cycle again. Removing apples as soon as they fall can remove affected ap-ples before maggots have a chance to exit, and so can help decrease the problem next year.

A second problem helped by good sanitation is apple scab dis-ease, which is a common disorder of apples and ornamental crabapple trees. It affects leaves by scarring them with circular brown-black le-sions, and a portion of the leaves turn yellow and drop prematurely, causing a thinning, less-pretty tree by mid-summer. Some ornamental flowering crabs are resistant to the disease, other varieties can be al-most defoliated from apple scab.

On fruits, apple scab causes roughly circular lesions on the skin. The fungus that causes the disease can winter in and around the soil on affected leaves and fruits, ready to emerge again next year to begin the cycle again. Rak-ing and disposing of leaves and fruit helps reduce the amount of overwintering fungi.

The most effective insect and disease control is almost always prevention. Sanitation and good fall cleanup of apple trees and or-namental crabapples is a vital step in preventing next year’s apple maggot infestation and apple scab disease.

October is a true transition month around the yard and garden. The growing season is mostly in the past, and an unknow winter lies ahead. In the meantime, we’ve got fall work to do.

It’s a busy month for yard and garden tasks, which are a lot more fun when the weather cooperates. Bringing in the last of the squash, potatoes and carrots is especially enjoyable on clear, warm, sunny fall days. If we’re fortunate to get a string of beautiful “Indian sum-mer” weather, we’ll have a win-dow of opportunity to work out-side when it’s pleasant.

CHECKLIST OF OCTOBER TASKS:

By the end of October, frost and cold temperatures signal lawns to go dormant. Lower the mowing height from summer’s recommended three inches down to about one-and-one-half inches gradually during the last several mowings of October.

Leaves on the lawn don’t need to be raked; simply mow over them with your mulching mower. Research has shown that leaves mulched into the lawn improve soil health and help suppress weed growth. Several passes might be necessary so leaves filter into the grass.

Add organic material like leaves, straw or peatmoss in a lay-er over the vegetable garden and rototill in to improve soil.

Carrots and parsnips can be left in the ground as long as possible. Cool fall temperatures convert

starches to sugar, adding flavor and sweetness to root vegetables.

Rototilling the garden in fall before soil freezes solid helps ex-pose insects and disease organisms to winter’s elements, possibly less-ening the chance they’ll survive winter.

There’s not a good reason or need to prune back shrubs or ros-es in the fall, which can increase chances of winter injury. Instead wait until next spring for pruning.

Most perennial flowers survive winter best with the tops left intact. They catch snow, which insulates the root system. Cut back in spring before new growth emerges from the base.

Perennials that do benefit from a fall cutback include hosta, day-lily and iris, because the tops be-come mushy during winter, and peony, because the foliage can car-ry mildew disease.

Some perennials are best divid-ed or planted in the fall, including peonies, bleeding heart, daylilies and iris. Although September is better, October can be successful, and the sooner the better.

Tulips and other fall-planted bulbs that blossom next spring are best planted as soon as possible, so they’ll have plenty of time to pro-duce roots before the soil freezes solid. If you’re late in planting, water well, and cover the soil with two feet of leaves or straw. The mulch will delay the freez-ing of the soil, giving extra time for late-planted bulbs to establish roots.

Broncos run at Jamestown...Weather disrupts Lisbon Cross Country scheduleBy Joe Howell

Lisbon Cross Country coaches, Richard Lacina and Joe Kern, saw their competitive meet schedule dis-rupted by heavy winds and heavier rain as Valley City cancelled their annual Bill Jansen Blue and White meet on Saturday, September 21. As a result, Lisbon competed at the Jamestown Parkhurst recreation area on September 26.

Team titles were won by the Devils Lake boys and the girls from Valley City.

Host Jamestown ran without the number 1 Class A runner in the state and defending state XC runner, Me-gan Ford.

Patrick Wrigley of Bismarck Shiloh Christian and Hannah Westin of Shiloh won the boys and girls individual titles.

The Broncos placed fourth on the boys team race and the girls finished in sixth.

Lisbon was led by Keaten Shel-ton and Colton Bergemann on the boys side as they finished 18 and 19.

The girls were led by Kodi Lautt’s 15th place showing.

Lisbon will run at Grand Rapids at the LaMoure Invite on October 5.

The Williston boys and the Rug-by girls won the team titles at the Rugby Invite on September 28.

Former Lisbon student Gavin Jorgenson is a member of the Wil-liston team. Gavin is now a senior at WHS and placed 11th at Rugby with his time of 17:34.19.

Individual titles in Rugby were won by: New Town’s Robert White and Williston’s Rigby Haskins.
