Th Indtx-Journol, Gf onwood, Monday, Otf, 25, 19769 Meal Ideas A (' Home And Outdoors Editor's Note: Information in this column is provided by Clemson University Extension Service specialists and S.C. Experiment Station personnel. Q. My pecan trees developed nuts but they fell off. I found no meat in any of them, and practically all of the nuts had small holes apparently made by borers.

Can you suggest a remedy, hopefully something that may be applied to the roots instead of spraying on foliage? A.B.M., Moncks Corner. A. Indications are the pecan weevil Is your culprit The best control will be with Sevin. It's usually sprayed on the tree but there are no regulations preventing you from applying it beneath the tree for weevil control. Use Sevin 50WP, at the rate of two tablespoons per gallon of water.

Use about the first of August and at two-week intervals for three or four applications. The ground should be soaked for complete coverage. Dr. D.K. Pollet, Extension entomology.

Q. What's wrong with my scuppernong vine? Crops the past two years have been slim. The grapes that did not drop off had black spots as though bitten or stung by wasps or other insects. Fruit has also been small. A.B.M.," Moncks Corner.

A. These symptoms could come from insect or disease damage. Only an examination could pinpoint the. problem. In general, It's suggested that you be sure plants are fertilized and follow a recommended spray program.

This is outlined in Information Card 119 published by the Clemson Extension Service, "Insect and Disease Control of Home-Grown Fruits and Nuts." Copies are available at Extension offices (county agei.t) in each county. Dr. D.K. Pollet, Extension entomology. Eating Is National Pastime By Gaynor Maddox Today our nerves and our digestions are under heavy strain.

"People turn to eating when they feel angry, sexually excited, apprehensive or ashamed. It is as though eating protected them from feeling too much" according to psychiatrist Dr. Walter Hamburger, Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, N.Y. Others turn to the bottle. They believe drinking can dull the aches of frustration and bitterness.

At this point in time, our world is wrought with threats', suspicions and doubts, both politically and internationally. We all live under great strain. But there is a manageable solution: get out of your chair more often and nibble less. Eat and enjoy good food but not quite so much of it. Get some exercise every day.

It will tone your muscles and brighten your outlook. Then you will be more able to face the swifty changing world. Any flexing of the muscle is exercise. As used here, it means moderately active daily exercise. A mile walk every day, or even a hall mile, will be more effective than digging up the garden or two afternoons of sandlot baseball with the youngsters.

So attain the habit of daily exercise, rather than strenuous "play" over the weekend. You will be surprised at your increased sense of well-being. Most Americans eat more food than they need. We are so rich we have lulled ourselves into the habit of overindulgence. But if men and women today, under the pressure of modern threats, would eat a little less they would find it easier to cope with daily life.

A wise provision is this: limit yourself to one serving from each dish served even though you might crave a second or a third. In a little while you will adjust to this habit. It pays dividends in bodily easement since you will leave the table without any sensation of being stuffed. The idea behind restricting your food intake is simply to make your body more efficient. Consider your nibbling habits as adding to your total intake.

Kit Aids Roommate Compatibility UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) In an effort to increase compatibility between new roommates, Pennsylvania State University has come up with a "Roommate Starter Kit." It offers a way to help avoid conflicts over just about everything from blasting radios to visitors and religious beliefs. The basic idea of the kit is to let the newly-paired roommates learn more about each other's habits and attitudes before it's too late. The kit consists of a booklet Which students are asked to read and then use as a basis for discussing habits and preferences which may cause confrontations later. Information exchange specified in the kit includes matters such as: "How much sleep I need and when I'd like to get "How I feel about drugs and drinking," and "Times when I would really prefer to be left alone." Mary Anne Sagaria, director -of new student programs, says "the program is not designed to match roommates or to make them conform to each other.v It's just a way to let them know what to expect from each other."

Now is the time to let them bring out the best in each other.

An excellent way to do this is in a sweet-and-sour rangetop dish that we find tastes wonderfully savory with meats and poultry from everyday frankfurters to elegant roast duck. APPLE RED CABBAGE 2'i-pound head red cabbage 2 medium onions 2 to 3 medium apples cup butter or margarine 4 cup sugar l-3rd cup red wine vinegar Hi teaspoons salt V4 teaspoon pepper Vi teaspoon ground ginger Mi cup raisins Discard any frayed or extremely dark tough outer leaves of cabbage; rinse. Cut in half lengthwise. Shred into thin strands, discarding core. There should be 2 quarts (generous) firmly packed down.

Peel and chop onion fine there should be about IVi cups. Pare, quarter and core apples; dice medium-fine there should be about 2 cups. In a large saucepot melt the butter; add onion and cook gently, stirring often, until yellowed and wilted 5 to 10 utes. Add sugar and stir until it begins to caramelize. Add cabbage, apple, vinegar, salt, pepper and ginger.

Simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes -there should be plenty of juice from both the cabbage and apple, but if mixture seems dry, add a little water. Stir in the raisins; continue cooking uncovered until cabbage is tender-crisp, apples are cooked through and the juices are re duced about 10 minutes more. (You can cook this dish ahead and reheat it.) Makes 6 healthy servings.

What can you recommend for removing ballpoint ink markings from a vinyl plastic tablecloth? This is a new cloth that the children marked with the ink while doing some paper work. HELEN. DEAR HELEN Try rubbing petroleum Jelly or glycerine (whichever one you happen to have on hand) into 'he stains and then wash with detergent suds. OR yon might put hair spray on, let it dry and then wash OR uie dry cleaning fluid. POLLY.

DEAR POLLY When staying in a motel or even just with friends, one can make a satisfactory toothbrush holder by turning a styrofoam cup upside down and poking the brush handle CAREFULLY through the bottom. JOAN. DEAR POLLY Use a wet paper towel on ash tray spills on the rugs or furniture. Lay it on the spill and pat the paper lightly so it picks up the ashes. Works wonders.

SANDY. DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve is that most brands of stockings do not nave a smooth or flat enough seam at the toe. Such seams as they have cause me to have sore toes. My Pointer is that I had some new shoes that fit well every place except where my great toe is. I took a heavy plastic thimble and forced it into place in the toe of the shoe where it needed to be stretched, left it for about a week and now the shoe feels fine.

G.S. DEAR POLLY After reading Mrs. J.P.A.'s letter I realized there must be many women who cannot pry stuck grocery carts apart. Having worked at a super-market for over four years, I know that the stock boys are usually unaware of the problem they create for customers. But there is a good solution.

Instead of pulling or banging the cart, simply lift the jrate that is on top of the cart and gently pull. When the carts ire pushed together, the piece directly in front of the is pushed up and all too often gets lodged and cannot xme back down. If you pull this up just a little and release it to )e free, the cart should slide out easily. MRS. D.E.

DEAR POLLY We forgot to take a first aid kit when we vent on a camping trip and needed something for mosquito lites. We tried using shaving lotion and found it worked great 'or stopping the itching. DONNA. DEAR POLLY -1 circle the expiration dates on my store with a colored pencil and keep them in envelopes, irith the oldest ones in front. I take this envelope along when I shopping.

This idea saves time in the check-out line, since he checker can see at a glance if a coupon is current. ANGELA. DEAR POLLY When making pie crust I found clean-up is nuch easier if I put one or two sheets of newspaper on the under the waxed paper. When all is finished I just lather the papers up in a ball, toss in the waste basket and the lounter is clean. TERR M.

DEAR POLLY While making pickles, it occurred to me hat perhaps some of the readers might like to try my method or adding spices. Instead of tying them up in a cloth, I bought i tea ball, put the spices in it and drop this in the pot with the Inegar. When time comes to remove the spices the ball is so iasy to lift out. MID. DEAR POLLY I use that spray product made for pre-reating stains on laundry for removing stains on my hands ifter I have been using oil base paints or varnish.

Simply pray it on the hands, work it in and rinse off with water. This most convenient and does not leave an odor such as gasoline ir thinner does. BRENDA. STEAK HOUSE riwy. 25 North THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS From 5 'til 8 p.m.
