When To Plant Shrubs' Most people start thinking about shrubs when it's a little too late in the season to do much about them. Most of them require spring or fall planting. The ground should be prepared carefully, as one would for a perennial. Most shrubs enjoy spots which have been dug deep, and a hole made ample to accommodate their roots without crowding. In trans planting, it's wise to dig well-rotted manure into the earth below the hole. After putting the plant and its ball of earth into the ground, fill in with rich top-soil and compost, taking care to eliminate airholes. When the hole is two-thirds full, the soil should be pressed firmly, preferably with the feet, into place. Then the shrub is well wa tered and when .the water has drained away, the remainder of the earth filled in. On The Care of Shrubs It is frequently a good Idea to leave a dished area around the base of the shrub to catch and hold water. After that, the bush should be watered carefully until it is well established. Except for occasional pruning, shrubs require little care. A pint or so of bone meal sprinkled around the base and then dug in is ample for most of the leaf-shedding trees. The list of shrubs is long, and it would take many pages even to list the varieties available to the gardener. Sufficient to say that there are some shrubs which can provide color every month in the year. Probably among the most popular are forsythias with their early spring yellow blooms, lilacs, spireas and rhododendrons. There are a number of broad leaved evergreens, so useful to Dro- vide year-round color and handy to put into shady spots. Most of the evergreens, including laurel and azalea, are a little more choosv and iussy aDout locations and types of sou. inese plants thrive on acid soil, so it is best to keep them to gether rather than attemnt to erow mem in me same location as the shrubs and bushes which prefer aiKanne or blander soil. When and How to Prune The rule of thumb for times to prune is, roughly, between flower ing time and July for the spring flowering shrubs, and in the late fall or early spring for the summer- and-latcr tlowering types. Dead wood should be removed, of course, but the trick in pruning a shrub is to maintain-the natural outlines of the plant by cutting back to the base for old wood, and cutting off equal amounts of newer wood from each branch. Shrubs except when used as a hedge should never be trimmed off to a hard round or square shape. without attempting to do more than mention personal interest there are literally thousands to choose from here are a few shrubs which can provide color 12 months of the year: October to January: the native witch hazel, with its yellow, strap shaped flowers. February: dog wood with its red stems. March: winter honeysuckle. April: forsy thia, magnolia, flowering almond, spirea, shadblow. May: azaleas, deutzia, lilac, viburnum, lilac. June: mockorange, snowberry. July: buddleia, hydrangea. August: Rose of Sharon, abelia, Septem ber: Gordonia. Frozen Pies May Provide Fruit Outlet Tasty frozen pies that can be quickly - defrosted and readied for serving may provide a new mar ket for Oregon-grown fruits, ac cording to research results obtain ed at the OSC experiment station by Miss Ruth Miller, research as sistant in food technology. Fresh apples and frozen boysen- berries have been used in freezing trials to date with promising re sults. Taste test panel members enthusiastically endorse pies made with either fruit. Other fruits will be used in futures-tests. Miss Miller finds the apple pies easier to perfect, hoysenberries used for pies present two problems excessive juiciness and loss of shape of the fruit. The flavor of the boysenberry pies is excellent, how ever, and Miss Miller is hopeful of finding ways of solving the juice and shape -problems. The pies may be frozen before or after baking, Miss Miller points out. No special handling of the pies is needed in either case. Pies that have already been baked may be slipped out of the pie tin, placed in a pliable freezing container and frozen. Unbaked pies are frozen in metal pie tins and then taken out and placed on paper plates for storage. The unbaked pies may be held in storage for up to two months. The frozen pies are easily pre pared for table use. Frozen baked pies need to be heated for about 30 minutes at normal baking tem peratures before serving to insure heating throughout. Unbaked pies can be put directly into the oven and are baked on the regular heat and time schedule. Water Resources Policy Group Puts CVA In Discussion SPOKANE, m -References to the proposed Columbia Valley administration were slipped into testimony with significant regula rity at a meeting or President Truman's water resources policy commission nere. The references were wrapped In Mon., June 19, 1950 The Newt-Review, Reieburg, Ore. facts sought by the commission In Hearings on tne use, conservation and development of the nation's water supply. The minority of the 29 speakers expressed themselves in favor of a CVA. Some condemned it out right. Others backed into the con troversial issue by obliquely praising federal agencies now in charge of basin development the army engineers ana the re clamation bureau. Commission Chairman Morris L Cooke described information given Dy forestry interests a "real contribution." Stewart Moir of Portland, re presenting the Western Forest and Conservation association, asked the commission to Foster insterstate water compacts to promote water saving. He said the timber inter ests he spoke for are working to conserve water supplies by pro tecting their forested watersheds. Governors Give Ideas On Columbia Basin Projects SPOKANE. (F Protection of state and local interests during development of the Columbia river basin was the central theme of a statement made before a presiden tial commission. The statement was read bv cov- ernor C. A. Robins of Idaho before President Truman's policy com mission studying the nation's water resources. The Idaho eovernor snake for himself and the governors of five other western states. His remarks made the aonroval of Governors Arthur B.- Langlie, Washington: John.W. Bonner, Montana: Vail Plttman. Nevada: Douelas MpK.v Oregon, and A. G. Crane, Wyoming. nuuins ioiu me commission he and the other state executives want ownership and control of all fed erally built water projects turned over to state or local organize- tions after building expenses have been repaid to the federal govern ment. Other considerations asked by Robins were: l. State control of all waters within its boundaries and rnntrnl of interstate streams through agree ment among me stales concerned. 2. That no federal project should be forced on local area without ils consent. 3. That river development be carriea on cooperatively with "lo cal interests" and in agreement "with existing conditions." 4. And that river development policies be made elastic to fit the growth of the region and ils popu lation. The governors gave the present method of developing the Colum bia basin by the army corps of engineers and the bureau of re clamation a vote of confidence They suggested that the method "be used as a basis for continued planning of river development." The meeting is the second in a series of eight to be held through out the country. Members of the commission will summarize their findings in a re port to be prepared for President Truman by Dec. 1.
