A change In management . has com 9 to the Salem Deaconess hos pital with Frank F Wed el, son of the founder of the hospital, tak ing charge following a meeting of the board of directors. November 18. He will take the place f L. Earl Deane. retiring manager. Mr. Wedel has been associated with the hospital for the past 14 i years and Is well acquainted with the needs and duties of the posi tion. It was 14 years ago that he i came to Salem with his father, j T. B. "Wedel, from American Falls. Idaho.- The present property located' at 685 South Winter street, was - tuicuMu uj wr, ncun, or. iruui J. H. Albert. .and the old house then standing on it was trans formed tnto s hospital. Kiss tt&rle-Wedel, Miss Martha .Wedel. Sister Anna Duerksean. Sister Christina Duerksean and - F. F. Wedel assisted In the purchase and development of the institu tion. When the hospital was first or ganized In 1916 there were provi sions, for 15 beds. In 1918 an annex was built. In 1920 the large main brick building ws erected. In 1924 another brick ankex was made. Now the pres ent building pictured abore is the ' Salem Deaconess hospital with capacity for 85 beds. There is a staff of 15 nurses and sisters and when there is a particularly busy time in the hos pital additional special nurses are brought into service. The hospital is under the aus picious of the Mennonite chureh and the nurse in charge Is a sis ter in that church. Sister Anna Duerksean, one of the original founders of the hospital.

One of' my readers asked me to giro her the "catalogs -name" of the little native flower which she described ' as "green-brown and sometimes eallsd tiger lily. I take It that ahe means ' the Fritlllarlas which most of us call "Mission Bells.- Few cata logues list these .unless the grow er makea a habit of collecting native plants." There are, how ever, some good professional collectors who put out Interest ing little catalogues and. from whom one can secure most of the more lorely natlre varieties. And it is better. In most cases, to secure native plants from the " commercial growers, who, more than likely, hare grown their plants Trom 'seed In a ground mors similar to yours than the "ground In which the wild speci mens are. growing. jSo many folks who deevlop a desire for ' some natlre flower will go out Into the highways and byways of onr state and dig or. pull up a plant, bring it home, stick It in- to the ground, and merely shrug their shoulders when It shows a disinclination to accus tom Itself to Its new environ ment. "Nothing lost; didn't cost anything.' we are apt to mutter at such ft time; little thinking of the loss of beauty to the roadside, v This does not. of course, apply to all natlre plants, nor, lor that matter, to all native plant col lectors. There re many natlre plants which are so plentiful In - places that the remoral of few would not be harmful.; Thero are some collectors who are so 'careful that they scarcely ever loose ft plant bx. transplanting It ' - .

By P. L. BICKER. The appearance in the market at Christmas time of countless thousands of Christinas trees, quite a percentage of which are not sold and have to be hauled away to dumps or burned, has raised in many sections a vigorous protest against this apparent waste . and. some of its accompanying abuses; - - -:'.V- I f Many trees are cut without the knowledge of the own er of the land, tops of trees are cut off leaving tall stubs, law areas are, stripped oljr: unattractive with discarded trees and trimmings. Every effort, should he. made to pre rent such; piratical methods. Since about 1921 some of . the western , National Forest auper rlsors hare been Issuing, with each thinned oat tree disposed of at Christmas . time, tags certi fying "Its cutting , was not de structire but garo needed room for , neighboring trees . to .. grow faster and better. It was cut under the superrlsloa of the U. S. Forest Serriee". , ' In 1920 the Denrer city coun cil passed an ordinance requiring erery Christmas tree rendor In the city to pay a fifty dollar li cense fee and all treea cut on prirate land must show the ex act location and ownership of the land. This reduced the num ber . of , dealers and practically eliminated . illegal cutting . of trees.' The. high "fee is, howerer, rather hard on farmers trying to get a little extra money and forc es them ta sell to large dealers at a low price. - About 1924 the Colorado stato forester began issuing certified tags for Christmas trees. These were distributed In small tots with Instructions by state and rolunteer Inspectors with a good knowledge of forestry principals to anyone who agreed to cut trees properly. - Cuttings would be examined within a tew days and it approred additional tags were issued. Considerable pub licity was obtained through the newspapers and a gradual de mand created tor certified trees. After three years use of the tags nearly erery purchaser la de manding certified trees and rery few trees are marketed without tags. Such a plan can well be put 4 into effect la all states where any quantity of treea are cut for supplying the Christmas trade. For the Colorado 1929 season the cost of superrisioa of this work was about 2S00. About 40.000 state tags were used and about 20.000 by the U. 8. forest serriee. Thus far the city of Denrer and the chamber of com merce hare furnished the tags for the work and this, la a sug gestion for securing the aupport of other public spirited organisa tions where state funds are not arailable. The tag used by the Colorado folk tor the certification of properly cut and prorlded treea reads as follows: The prerention of forest fires has made ft possible for this tree to decorate your home on Christmas day. - It was cut in accordance with forestry standards and under the auper Ylslon of the state forestry de Salem, Ore, a , . -i- - . bp sav si aiensBBBsnb. mm mm mm ' mm mm mm w-m r rnmmm Many people are beginning to cnltlrate Christmas trees and In sections of the ' country where good Christinas;; treea are- no longer: found .abundant thla can be made a profitable business. Special information as to the trees best, adapted to each eee tion for this purpose with meth ods of handling- seeds and treea should be obtained from the for estry department of : each state, or from the United States for estry serriee. ;l ',. .,..''-; ' Marketing can begin from four to fire years after planting If a good rariety of ornamentals are grown aa there Is a crowing de mand for small Christmas treea tor table decoration as well as a rariety of ornamentals tor deco rating the home grounds. The entire 'stand can be cut or sold for planting purposes in ' from eight to ten years. Trees fire to seren feet tall are; In great de mand. ! ' - t . . , i AUoscngc tf or a: reasonable' loss of treea during; growth, sale 'to dealers at from If to SO cents each should yield a gross income of at least ft 00 per acre. Xs such trees in the market retail at from S1.S0 to $S each lm prored marketing methods by the grower should be - made to yield him much . larger returns. It the trees are suitable for commercial timber this will leare l.Jlt trees per acre six feet apart for forest purposes. A number of states reduce, or de fer taxes on lands with growing timber until It Is ready for the market. , . Many towns, particularly in Massachusetts, hare established town, forests from which Christ mas .trees should be available. This is an old. world custom which haa yielded considerable profit and la said to hare freed aome towns from taxes. In Ohio it is . estimated that orer one million Christmas trees hare been planted. One grower sold In one season 7,000 treea In the Cleveland market at an arer age price of $1.00 each. As the business grows competition will be keener and prices reduced but at the present retail prices deal ers can well afford to take much tato at Liberty St. leae money and still make a rea sonable profit. Plantings along well - traveled - highways will ad vertise themselves and can bo old at a minimum' of expense. , Tot several rears there has been a- rapidly growing demand for "balled" trees for transplant ing to home grounds, for ornaH mental and planting and for liv ing Christmas treea. Electrical supply houses - have fostered this by offering- prises for - the best decorated trees and homes. Treea intended , for . this trade should hare a. narrow trench - dug around., them e year .or two ahead of ..time at a distance of eight . to twelre inches from the trunk, deep enough to cut off all lateral roots and immediately filled In again. Business! , organisations .are decorating stores Inside and out with illuminated Christmas treea and decorating the streets with illuminated trees in stands or; tied to: other trees or poles along the street. In Altadena, a beautiful sub urb of Pasadena, is Santa Rosa avenue lined for a mile on both sides with jtho-Deodar cedar. 75 feet in ; height. At i Christmas time these trees 'are festooned with thousands of varl-colored lights making an awe inspiring spectacle, with its background of the often snow capped San Ga briel mountains. This avenue is rapidly becoming world, famous as "the street of - Christmas trees'. Other suburban sections might well emulate this painting with similar evergreen trees and In time '. become almost equally famous aa i well as providing ' a perpetually beautiful drive. The lighting of these trees while inaugurated ,by a J?aqadena Merchant, has, been: taken , over bjr tb) city ,and the event f made a festal 'occasion. The lighting la accompanied by civic exercises and the singing, of Christmas carols. It is estimated that over a million people view the lighted treea each year. While it haa been estimated that 30,000 acres can supply the present annual consumption of Christmas trees it Is only within the last few that they have be gun to he used ror-street deco rating and I for living Christmas trees on home grounds and these markets have Just begun to be tapped. o i i.
