Emblem Day To
Be Observed By
Roseburg Eagles
Roseburg aerie of the Frater
nal Order of Eagles will hold pa
triotic Emblem day exercises
June 20. This is part of the fra
ternity's nation-wide observance
of the day the first to be held
in the history of the country. Em
blem day commemorates the
adoption of the American bald
eagle as the emblem of our na
tion, an event which took place
June 20, 1782.
"This important event in the
history of our country," declar
ed M. R. Rockwell, president of
the local lodge, "was neglected
until 1912, when Wisconsin Eag
les adopted a resolution setting
aside June 20 as Emblem day,
and dedicated the day to the spir
it of the eagle monarch of the
skies." Early this year, accord
ing lo President Rockwell, the
national governing body of the
order put Emblem day on the
Eagle calendar and asked that
every aerie celebrate the day in
order that "the eagle and its spir
it of bravery, strength, and cour
age be truly the emblem of our
country not only on medals of
honor and the Great Seal, but al
so in the hearts and souls of all
true Americans."
An important part of the Eag
les' celebration of Emblem day
will be the support ot the Fifth
War Loan drive. Managing Or
ganizer Matt L. Brown has urged
every aerie to invest all free
funds in war bonds. The order
has already invested more than
$20,000,000, while the local aerie,
which plans to buy S.",000 as part
of its observance of Emblem day,
holds a total of S17.700.00. The
Eagles ill charge of the Emblem
day program are Elmer Hamp
ton, Earl Henry, Vein Hickson,
.1. L. Shrum and H. D. Simmons.
Sow Seed in Rich
Soil to Produce
Late Green Onions
Green onions can be grown
from seed in si.t to eight weeks;
Victory gardeners who have been
unable to get enough onion sets
or plants, can use seed to grow
e late crop, for use in salads, or
at the boiling size.
To produce spring or hunch
onions, seed should be sown in
shallow well-fed soil. Sow thinly
and allow the seedling lo grow
until Ihcy are large enough to
serve, then thin out alternately
as used until the plants stand two
inches apart in the row. At this
since lliry will make good sized
hi. lbs which are excellent for
boiling. Growth will be speeded
if a dressing of plain food is giv-
en six weeks alter sowing, using
a pint to r0 feet of row.
Lccks Also Gcou Crop
If you wish to grow onions for
winter keeping, there is a chance
that with a late fall fair sized
I bulbs would be produced by vn
Pet. j 1 ,eties such as Yellow Globe Dan
vers. The onion Is a long season
Ml in op and is sown much earlier

Home gardeners may find
leeks a worth-while crop. Tins is
a variety of onion which does not
pioduee bulbs, but large stems
which the Hritish prefer for fla
voring cooked dishes. They are
better if transplanted, and the
practice in England is to make
holes with a dibber nine Inches
apart In the low, and drop a leek
plant in each hole. They do not
fill the hole but depend upon
water lM-ing washed in by rains.

Start Fighting
Insects Prior to
Garden Invasion
As soon as the weather warms
up, the bugs do the same. At
the first sign of spring, they'll en
gulf your garden in a tidal wave
of insect life. That's your signal
to take up arms against the in
vaders. Pest control is a contin
uous process, yet in the long run
it pays tremendous dividends in
a clean landscape and many
pounds of fresh vegetables.
You are warned to start actual
spraying or dusting before the
garden peals arrive. Many of the
modern insecticides have repel
lant value and help keep the bugs
off your premises. Once they ar
rive, your problems aro multi
plied a hundredfold.
In purchasing new nursery
stock always make a careful ex
amination to see that it is clean.
Often garden pests are lurking
in the joints and they'll certainly
create havoc on your 1iome
grounds. Patronizing a clean nur
sery will help solve the pest prob
lem.
There is no general cure-all for
garden pest:--. Different types of
insects have distinee feeding hab
its and consequently the same
insecticide will not conquer all
breeds. You should place plenty
of faith in your nurseryman or
seed dealer, for he is familiar
with the insects in your neigh
borhood and consequently quite
able to prescribe the proper med
icine. All gardeners should know,
however, that sap-sucking insects
obtain their food by sucking the
"lilcblood" of the plants and these
may be killed only by a contact
spray; on the other hand, chew
ing pests such as worms or cater
pillars devour complete sections
of a stem or flower and must be
treated with a stomach poison.
Then, too, fungus growth may be
counteracted with an efficient
fungicide and night prowlers
such as snails or slugs require a
special bait for the kill.

Spring Graduates
At OSC Include
4 From Douglas
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
The city of Roseburg and vicin
ity are represented by four
members of the 1944 spring grad
uating class here. These will re
ceive their degrees at the seventy-fifth
annual graduation ex
ercises Saturday, June 17. Both
the baccalaureate service at 4
o'clock and commencement at 8
o clock will be broadcast over
KOAC.
Total number of graduates for
the year is 398 compared with
607 a year ago. The reduction is
caused by war conditions which
have reduced the male portion
01 tne student body to 291, most
ly freshmen below draft age.
Those receiving degrees at the
spring exercises, the third "sec
tion" of the seventy-fifth com
mencement, total 227. Previous
exercises were held in December
and March this year.
Graduate degrees are greatly
reduced in number, there being
only one doctor of philosophy de
gree and 17 master and profes
sional degrees. No honorary de
grees are being conferred this
year. Bachelor of science de
grees will go to 197, bachelor of
arts to 11 and bachelor of edu
cation to one.
Graduates from this vicinity
are Arthur S. Rathkey, Ten
mile, who will receive a master's
degree in biochemistry; Corlnne
H. McTaggart and Carolyn J.

Onions Abundant, Hence
Campaign tp fat More
Onions are being pushed now
nationally as a food expected to
be in unusual abundance in the
early summer, according to an
annonucement by the War Food
administration received by the
O. S. C. extension service. Both
the Texas and California crops of
early type onions are unusually
large this year. The Texas crop
is expected to exceed 1,160,000
hundred-pound sacks, compared
with 889,000 sacks last year. -
The idea of serving onions to
whet the appetite for less flavor
ful foods is encouraged by nutrl-
uomsis. . ,
