Effort to beautify all of the state highways in Oregon will be centralized on Saturday, May 10. which has been. proclaimed ' state highway clean-up day-" by GoTernor A. W. Norblad, who has called on all eivie organizations of the state to aid in the work. The state federation of Garden clubs Inaugurated the movement, with Mrs. Jessie M. Honeyraan, Eugene, as chairman. In preparation for the tourist travel this summer, boy scouts, members of chambers of com merce and service clubs, school children, and numerous others will tarn out on May 10 to tidy up the roadways. Commanity meetings are being called all over the state by the leaders to asiga various jobs and territory. Each mile of highway will have two teams workiag oa !t, one on either side, while state highway trucks will gather up the rsbbish and carry It away. The order of the day. as an nounced by Mrs. Hoaeyman, is as follows: The workers assemble at mile posts designated by the leaders at 8:30 In the morning. Sections f the highway will then be allotted to the group, with two leaders and two groups for each Bile. After the leader hare given Instructions to the workers, and have distributed tools to those who are not already equip ped, work will start at 9 o'clock. Work Is to be confined to the roadside between the travel?! area of the highway and the fence-line bordering the legal right of way. No work is to be done en private property except by permission of the owner or occupant, and then only as di rected by the section leader. All workers should bring a rake for pulling dead grass and other debris left by winter into small piles. Foar-tlned pitch forks will be of use, also, according to the leaders, while a few pruning hooks of various types may be of service. Shovels and spadea will be useful all along the highway. r FLOWERS TO ! IDENTIFY Be Day For State -Wide Highway Cleanup I MORNING SUN WELCOMED By MRS. M. E.

Flan No. 1 (upper) is designed for a new lot the vi3tn located on the southeast or de signed far a large flat lot with a garden space in the rear. The nook is located that it will get the morning sun, also giving cheer ful light to kitchen and dining room." The living room has three exposure, east, south and west, and every one haying; cross venti lation. Plan No, 2 (lower), is the same general plan, ahowing the ease with which a plan- may be designed to fit a deferent terrace, This plan may be used on an inside city lot, thus giving the study or bedroom the quiet position in the plan or it may be used on a view lot, the view belnar in a westerly direc tion, the living room atill having the three exposures so desirable in our western cli mate. This plan used on a city lot should set at least twenty-five feet back from the property line to give necessary privacy. Each plan has a bath and two bedrooms on the second floor, with large closet and storage apace. By DR. H. J. CLEMENTS If Saleffiis to have a display really worthwhile, growers must begin perfecting plants, for the time is but a month away; June 7 is the opening date. There is every reason why we should have the outstanding kIiow of the year in this spring flower show, which as is planned is to be the largest and most inclusive one beldso tar ia Salem's garden history. But U can only be accom plished if everybody will help. What will be blooming June 7? The answer would be almost a catalogue fit our choicest peren nials. A few of the later iris should atfU be in bloom. Peonies will probably be at their best. Roses we will have abundantly. There will be a few lilies parti cularly the Mt. Hood lily will be available. Just who is to nave the choicest one of these flowers on exhibition? I will venture to say that it will come from a small garden rather than from the more pretentious ones. There is the delphinium which Is running a good race to be present. Help it along. And then there is the columbine. Who is to carry away the laurels for this plant? It should be a close race for so many have become en thused with them because of their great Improvement of recent years. The same improvement is true in the oriental poppy. A good variety once planted will take care of itself for many years. There are, however, so many poppies available that they could monop olize the whole show. Some do not enjoy being on display away from the garden or field, but most of them keep well as a cat flower. If the end of the stem Is placed in boiling water then kept in the dark for a while good re salts will be obtained. This same treatment will be found to be a groat help in 'the keeping of other cat flowers. Other flowers which shonld be In abundance at thig time are foxglove or digitalis; eanterberry bells and other campanlae; sca felosa and red hot pokers or torch lilies, together with a few glad ioli which will certainly be pres ent. Then there are a host of small interesting and worthwhile blos soms each as pansies, the finest specimen ts of which are many times to bo found in seme small backyard garden, or country gar den. I hope there will be a set of prizes to he given to pansies alone. Already my space Is used and the catalogue is scarcely begun. I hope each one who reads this will help to elaborate it by showing your best speciments at our first Willamette valley flower show. ITflY OF TREE STRESSED Shape Declared One of Chief Considerations in Selec tion of Evergreen Almost all of the evergrees are valued for their distinct shape and symmetry. In selecting and grouping evergreens It is well to consider their shape if a pleas ing result is to be secured. Evergreens can be divided ac cording to shape into six general groups. A classification such as this makes it much easier to se lect the right place. It must be remembered that the members in each group are alike only in Bhape or outline. Each has its own characteristics and may be a dwarf grower or tall grower ac cording to its class. Group 1. This broadly pyra midal group of the Christmas tree type embraces quite a few of the commo nevergrees including some of the first, hemlocks, spruces and pines. As a rule they make large trees at maturity and make most perfect speciments when growing without itnerference. This class is good for lawn groups, shelter planting, avennes or specimens. Group 2. The evergreens in -this group are usually medium height growers suitable for back grounds and foundation plantings., Places to View Today Fapaw tree. Summer street entrance to state house grounds. H.

They are uselul to give height at corners and accent at each fide of a doorway, gateway or gar den entrance. Various varieties ot Arborlvataes, Junipers, Taxus and Retlnosporas are included in this group. Group 3. These are the upright, columnar varieties which intro duce an exclamatory note in the landscape, wherever an accent plant is needed or where formal effects are striven for, these plants may be fittingly use. The junipers and Arborvitaes both of fer such narrow types. Group 4. In the family ot ever greens there are many fine dwarf varieties, which grow more or less globular. These are very useful for specimen planting or for foun dation planting, elhter alone or in combination with taller grow ing varieties planted in back. The Mugho pine and Glove Arborvitae belong to this group. Group 5. The evergreens in this group constitute an interme diate stage between creeping Juni per and upright growers. All are dwarf and consequently make de sirable plants for foundation plant ing. Two of the most commonly known of this group are Pfitzer's juniper and Savin Juniper. Group 6. The creeping variety of juniper which constitute this group are at home on slopes where they can spread out at will or wherever a low carpet of ever greegroen foliage is desirable.
