HOMEBREWING AND WINEMAKING - Part of the fun of country living is providing for as many of your needs as possible. Those of you who enjoy the moderate partaking of mild alcoholic beverages can use your surplus fruit and vegetables to make a wide variety of delicious wines at little cost. Years ago and a continent away in Presque Isle, Maine, through a cold winter, I learned to make beer in my friend Chad's basement. Truth to be told, the first batch could have been better. We shared with our friends anyway. By the end of the season we had improved considerably. In spring there was a small stash of decent beer. Alas, it didn't last until summer. I know now that there are no secrets. Only good ingredi-ents, cleanliness, air locks, and patience. It helps consider-ably to have companions to share the successes with and analyse the mistakes. But that is the way with all of life isn't it? Enjoy. Keane McGee, Brewmaster

ecology lawn Mix We confess to a lasting desire for soft green patches for children and adults to sit and play upon, but a reluctance to get involved with intensive mowing, spraying, fertilizing and irrigating schedules. We believe our ecol-ogy lawn Mixes are the answers to this continuing dilemma. These are carefully crafted turf mixtures, combining grass, sweet clovers, wildflowers and herbs. You will find the northern and dryland ecology lawn Mixes to be reminiscent of the old English mixed herbal lawns for which many of our customers have inquired. The southland ecology lawn Mix is designed to retain that quality with varieties suited for drier climates. The advantages of these lawns over a conven-tional grass lawn are many. They present an attractive appearance between mowings, the quality of the turf is such that it will not be subject to thatch buildup, and it is both drought and shade tolerant. Suitable for either spring or fall planting in most areas. Sold in amounts for 1,000 and 5,000 square feet.

region 1_ — Cool temperature - mild winters; mild to hot summers: North-ern Ecology Lawn Mix.region 2 — Cool arid/semi arid - cold winters, hot dry summers: Dryland Ecology Lawn Mix.region 3 — Cool humid - cold winter, hot summers with variable humidity: Northern Ecology Lawn Mix, Dryland Ecology Lawn Mix.region 4 — Transitional Mixture

of temperate/semitropical - mild to cold winters, hot humid summers: Southland Ecology Lawn Mix.region 5 — We have not developed a perennial grass blend suitable for this region.region 6 — Warm arid/semi arid - mild winter, hot dry summers: Southland Ecology Lawn Mix.

leC101 • Crusader turf grass Mixture - Excellent drought and shade tolerance. Produced in Oregon, Crusader is a blend of SR 4200 Perennial Ryegrass, SR 5100 Chewings Fescue and SR 3100 Hard Fescue. This turf mixture combines rapid estab-lishment and outstanding turf quality with natural re-sistance to insects and disease. Crusader contains high levels of viable endophyte. The endophyte is a fungus that lives between the plant cells and makes insects sick when they ingest it, thus enabling Crusader to persist under adverse conditions and ensuring low susceptibil-ity to disease. If you are interested in significantly re-ducing your chemical use while continuing to maintain turf of the very highest quality, then Crusader is the mixture for you. Not for grazing animals or pasture. A 3 pound bag plants 600 square feet. 3 lb. bag $17.95 9 lb. $48.95
