'CALLUSING WRAP' This new method of propagating bushes ond shrubs is demonstrated by the photographs ond drawings shown above. Simple and effective, the secret lies in the specially-developed tope used in the process. The Roseburg Gardener Has Success With New Method Of Propagation One of the most fascinating pro-1 cedures undertaken by gardeners, amateurs and professionals alike. is the propagation of plants and shrubs. It offers a lure Because ot its challenge, and also because many choice horticultural posses sions can thus be stretched for further planting for yourself or some lucky neighbor or friend. One of Kosenurg s most enthus iastic gardeners, Mrs. O. R. Fritz of 326 W. Hazel St., has had con siderable success with some of the older methods of propagation and just recently has undertaken a new process for securing starts of some of her choice roses. The new proc ess, for want of a technical name called "callusing wrap," is said to develop a vigorous root system on cuttings in as little as six weeKs. Rose cuttings started by the proc ess nave developed blooming bushes In an unbelievably short time,- it is reported. Mrs. Fritz fur nished materials for the accom panying photographs showing treat ment of a rose start and News- 'LAYERING' of branches to propagate new plants is detailed in the drawing above. A relatively simple process, it is used with much success by many gardeners. It is so simple, in fact, that some shrubs 'layer' oil by themselves when o low branch happens to touch the ground at a bud joint. Plenty of moisture is a contributing factor in attaining success with this method. Federated Club Convention To Draw Area Delegates A contingent of women from the Umpqua District Federated Garden Clubs will attend the State Feder ated Garden Club Convention to i be held at the Multnomah Hotel in Portland June 24-26. The Portland district will be the host group. Mrs. A. H. Mason, state president, will preside at the three-day session. Workshops On Agenda On the agenda will be workshops for directors, club officers and slate flower show judges. Also planned are workshops on pro grams, garden crafts, junior gar dening, horticulture, community improvement and picture-taking pointers. j Theme of this year's convention ! will be "Portland's New Look." Mayor Terry Schrunk will welcome , the delegates at Monda) morning's j opening session and at the Monday I luncheon Mrs. Gordon Gose of Se attle, newly-elected national presi dent, will address the assembly on i the topic "Your National Council." i Other speakers scheduled are I Mrs. Bert Ralstin, new Pacific recional director from Craigmont, Idaho: Professor Richard Blake lv of the department of landscape architecture at OSU; and Tom Al len of the regional Post Ofice at Seattle. Zelda Vi'yatt Schulke of i Cleveland, Ohio, nationally recog 1 nired flower arranger, lecturer and author, will be the speaker Tues day night on "Today's Art Forms in Flower Arrangements." Review photographer and artist Andy Fautheree furnished the ac companying diagrams. The idea behind the method, which was developed originally by a Portland rose fancier, is to keep air out and moisture in after "wounding" a branch or stem to stimulate the growth of callus which will in turn be the focal point for new root growth. A spe cial tape, available at all garden shops, is used to seal the wound to an air tight condition. The con centrated heat engendered at the rooting site lessens the time that the cutting must sustain itself un til new roots are formed. The food flow from the leafy part of the plant above is stopped at the wound and is concentrated there, while the water and minerals from the lower part of the plant con tinue their nourishment. It's a very simple process, Mrs. Fritz says, but must be done with care. She has at present several plants showing well developed cal luses attesting to the efficacy of H'-4 trim; BARK New state officers and district directors will be installed at a ban quet Wednesday evening. The 17 districts of the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs at the convention will compete for the "Eilers" trophy, with the winner receiving the award from Mrs. Ver non Eilers following votes of dele gates and members on flower ar rangement entries submitted by the various districts. Awards Due State and national awards will be presented Tuesday evening. Those representing Umpqua Dis trict at the convention will be Mrs. Sidney Domenico, district director: Mrs. Bert Gottwald, president of the Riverbend Garden Club; Mrs. Wayman Schmidt of the Camas Valley Garden Club (district horti cultural chairman); Mrs. V. W. Schuetz, president of the Hucrest Club and Mrs. Lewis Hart, secre tary of the Hucrest club; Mrs. R. R. League, president of the Suth erlin Garden Club; Mrs. C. R. Brit tain, president-elect of the Suth erlin Club; and Mrs. Otho Gosnell ! of tbe Roseburg Town and Country Garden Club.

Next is shown the orea after the method. Once the callus has developed to a noticeable bulge, the branch is removed just below the callus and is then placed in moist sand or other rooting medium where it should root rapidly. "Layering" Outlined Another method of propagation which Mrs. Fritz has used exten sively witli much success is the "layering" process which is sim ply choosing a lower branch of a plant, scraping the bark on the lower side at a bud break, and securing the wounded part into the ground beneath the plant or shrub. Mrs. Fritz says to be sure to keep the area moist and otherwise leave it alone until the next year. Next procedure is to cut the branch from the parent plant and set it out into a permanent place in the nard. "This works fine for rhodo dendrons and camellias," Mrs. Fritz says, "and for azaleas also. With azaleas, it is unnecessary to scrape the bark, just be sure that a Bud point is selected. Bible School Held At Little River Little River Community Chris tian Church last week held its first Vacation Bible School. The school met with much success, reports Art Ncumarkel, director. The attendance averaged 35 per sons, ten of whom were teachers and assistants. Those who taught were Mrs. Charles Bechtel, Mrs. Jay Chandler, and Miss Sandy Farmer. Those who helped In var ied other capacities were Vicki Chandler, Sharon Farmer, LaDon na Saxton, Marie Hickam, and Kay Armstrong. The theme of the Bible School was "My Bible and I." A special program was held at Sunday morn ing services to mark the end of the school. The church held Its "charter day" on a recent Sunday, Neu markel reports, with seven mem bers receiving their first baptism. Average attendance is 18 persons at the church services and 17 at the Sunday school. The church, newest in the area, has been in operation for the past nine months. PICK SITE TUESDAY WASHINGTON (UPI) - The site of the Democratic National Convention next year will be chosen by the party's national committee here on Tuesday. National Chairman John M. Bailey said Thursday the commit tee will select the site from bids tubmitted by Atlantic City, Balti more, Detroit, Chicago, Miami Beach. Miami, Philadelphia and San 'Francisco. the special tape has been applied to the wound. The accompanying drawing shows how the root base has formed following the treatment and where the cutting line is to be made when re moving the cutting from the parent plant. With The Garden Clubs AZALEA CLUB Members of the Azalea Garden Club, meeting at the Ben Jantzer home last week, voted to present plants to three of the local busi ness houses to help beautify the good will. Three hanging fuschia baskets complete with plants are to be furnished. Before the meeting, Mrs. Jantzer served refreshments to the 12 mem bers present.

BUYS SICK DONKEYS ABORFIELD, England (UPI) Mrs. Violet Philpin, 61. said recently she has spent several thousand pounds on her hobby of buying and caring for "sick don keys that nobody wants." Give Wide Berth To Insects, Local Health Officer Warns Editor's Note: The following! timely article comes from County Health Officer Dr. B. R. Shoemak er as a warning of the now-pretent danger of itingt from Insects prev alent during the summer months. Venom from honeybees, bum blebees, wasps, yellow jackets and hornets is drop for drop just as potent for certain susceptible per sons as deadly rattlesnake venom. Authorities believe that stings by these insects kill more people in the United States than the feared rattler. One prominent spccallst suggests that some of the sudden denllis attributed to heart failure or heat prostration are in reality due to insect slings of susceptible individuals. Some Pre-Sentitlied Violent reactions to stings most often occur in those who have some allergic tendency. A severe reac tion is even more likely if their systems have been sensitized to insect venom by a previous sting, just as some persons become sen sitive to penicillin. Children are particularly vulner able because of their outdoor sum mertime play, their natural curious ity and abbreviated dress during warm weather. They should be taught to steer clear of stinging in sects and not chase after them or For A Greener Lawn This Summer . . .

(UPI) -If vou tell Emmctt Redfcrn the old adage about lightning never striking twice in the same place, ho may tell you what happened on his farm recently. Within an hour, lightning struck two of his barns, some seven miles anart. during a thun derstorm.. Both buildings burned In ' Ilia ornuiirl ' BRIGHT COLORS OUT Never paint fences bright colors when you want to blend them into the landscaping. Colored fences compete with the natural hues of shrubs and flowers. For best re sults uso a wood slain, weathered cedar, or white paint. try to catch them. Bees are more likely to sling on bright, warm days when their business of gather ing nectar is interrupted. And when a heavy rain has washed the nec tar from the flowers they arc frus trated, angry and in a stinging mood. Gaily colored or dark, rough clnthinff attractR thorn, hut llinv tend to avoid white clothing with a hard finish. As might be expected, they are attracted by perfumes and scented cosmetics. Prompt Treatment Indicated When tho worker honcybco stings it leaves its stinger and venom sac In the victim's skin. Even though separated from the bee, tho sting er keeps working in deeper for about 20 minutes, while injecting more venom. Remove the stinger and sac as quickly as possible, try ing not to squeeze more venom into the wound. Cold packs will slow down absorption of the poison and help easo the sting while med ical aid Is soiint, which should be done immediately. Anyone who tins had more than the usual unploTsnnt local reac tion to a sting sluld ask a doctor about the advisability of preven tive treatment that may protect against the possibility of a later, more severe reaction.

Look For Aphids If your auto windshield, outdoor furniture, barbecues etc. are cov ered with an annoying sticky "hon eydew," don't blame it on sap from your trees but do look for apnia lnicstations. The bothersome nuisance of "honeydew" is a sure siun of anh- Ids on your plants. These tiny in sects make up in sheer numbers what they lack in physical size. When "honevdew" is first no- ticed, care should be taken to see that it is removed as quickly as possible. Clear, cool water is gen erally best for removing this an noying substance. If it is allowed to set it could seriously damage me panned nnisncs ot your auto mobile or outdoor furniture. Along with the nuisance caused by aphids, this "honeydew" should bo taken as a warning to prevent serious damngo to your precious Slants. Aphids are sucking insects mt drain away vital plant juices. They feed on new, tender twig growth and suck away juices from the undersides of foliage. Heavy infestations, which aro quite com mon, can seriously stunt growth, damage foliage and destroy the vitality oi your plains. Control With Spray You can effectively control aph ids by spraying with a nicotino sul phate solution. To mix an effec tive spray, add one ounce of soan flakes, not detergent, to 1 gallon oi water and then mix In 2 ten spoonsful of nicotine sulphate solu tion. The soap flakes in the water aid the spreading action. After the spray solution has been mixed thoroughly, nnolv to both tinner and lower sides of foliage. Repeat applications alter rain and as nec essary. This nicotine sulphate sorav kills aphids with an exclusive two-way action by contact and by fumes. It is one of the few chemicals to which insects have not been able to develop strains resistant to its killing effects. Nicotine sulphate Is compatible with most standard spray materi als, including fungicides and fertil izers, so it is ideal for combina tion spraying. Remember, that annoying "hon eydew" is not just tree sap but a warning to you that aphids are present and multiplying in your Burden.

The trick is to cover empty cans with colorful decorative adhesive covering. The result dozens of striking flower arrangements. You might arrange bright red roses in a 16-ounce fruit can covered with red and white checked adhesive. A giant-sized juice can covered with lilac adhesive makes a strik ing container for a mixed bouquet of lavender and white flowers. Directions Given To cover a can, cut a strip of adhesive two inches wider than the height of the can and long enough to go around the can. On the backing sheet of the adhesive. draw straight lines one inch from both the bottom and top of the ad hesive. Make a fringe by snipping at quarter-inch intervals from the edge of the adhesive to the one- inch line. Peel off the backing and apply the adhesive to the can. Stick the fringe strips to the bottom of the can and turn the fringe inside at the top of the can. In making flower arrangements, remember that the container should measure more than one third of the height of the finished arrangement. Uso frozen juice cans for small bouquets, giant sized cans to hold flowering branches.
