PAGE TEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, December 11, 1932 p-i come FOR SOUP . i M4q- MONMOUTH, Dec. 10.- mouth's Parent and Teachers met In the training school auditorium Tuesday night for the regular De cember meeting. The question of remaining a member of the state association drew out much com ment and a large majority favor ed that the organization continue with state affiliation. Howeyer. due to the fact that Monmouth P. T. A. la sponsoring ft hot soup program at the school to serve more than 80 children daily, it was deemed wise to re strict the amount of money paid to the state association this year. Ten cents per paid up member will go to the state association, instead of the former 2 5 cents per member. A young woman student is hired to serve the children and wash the dishe3 each noon. A contribution of money was re ceived toward her .salary. C. J. De Armond leading with $2.50. The association pays half of the Fal ary, and President J. A. Churchill the other half.

Murdock, president, was in the chair. Simple refresh ments were served at conclusion, with Mrs. L. E. Forbes acting as chairman of the committee. HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? By LILLIE L. MADSEN X7"OU Oregonians have had so j many fine native .trees that you scarcely value the worth of a large speciman tree," a tree surgeon who recently arrived from the middlewest, told me this week. "In the east and mld d 1 e west," he continued, "trees have be come valuable. People realize they did not grow up over night. In South e r n California gardeners certainly worth of a troe." that every tree south of the realize the ' He indicated growing in the southern state had made its growth with a degree of trials and tribulations for the beauty of southern California is wholly artificial. I wonder if this tree man, who so whole-heartedly admired our native Oreson trees and spoke of Salem as "the most beautiful city I have ever seen", isn't a weo bit correct. Too few Oregonians do bother to save a tree if one be comes injured or diseased. Often Guy Smith Takes Out License to Wed Miss Oehler A license to wed was issued to Guy O.

And all we do about It Is sigh, "Oh, well ", and go right out and dig up or purchase ft new one and hare the -tame experience over again. Transplants Tree Two or three years ago, I heard a landscape architect from Port land say he had searched every where for two good specimens of pyramidal abor-vitae of Columnar evergreens that had reached a fair size. He wanted them to plant in a Portland garden. One day as he was driving through SUverton he saw two just what he want ed, and he paid $75 apiece for them. The trees were 15 years old. He had them moved by ex pert tree movers and, since then, I have been told both trees are growing In their new location as if they had grown there always. Another Portland gardner I was told had paid $750 apiece for two large trees which had been planted by the grandfather of the nurseryman from whom he purchased the trees. These prices, I understand, are not large ac cording to what is paid for such trees in the east and middle west. The thing that particularly inter ested me was that in both cases tho landscape architects remark ed about how very few people really took care of their trees. We have many lovely trees here but it is nature and good luck who take care of them In most cases. Every tree, a well known nur seryman claims, growing in the lawn or garden responds beauti fully to a little extra care. Most of the gardeners rake the leaves away and thus take the natural food from the trees, this nursery man remarked, and most of them fail to give the trees anything to replace this food. Is it any won der that many a tree on lawn and in the garden has an undernour ished, hungry look? ' I Call Tree Doctor If you have a fine tree that has become diseased or injured so that yon fear its loss, you should call in the assistance of someone who is really versed in tree trou bles. In such a case it is economy of both time and money to call for professional assistance. A visitor here from Michigan recently remarked that he missed the deciduous trees of the middle west he had the nerve to wonder if these wouldn't gTow here. Ore gon is naturally an evergreen state. We have many lovely na tives in both the conifers and the broadleaved evergreens and at this time of the year the ever green tree is certainly an addi tion to our gardens. However, there are many of the deciduous trees which are well worth using a little more frequently than Ore gon gardeners have been wont to do. I am of the opinion that most trees which will grow well in the middle west climate will do equally well here. And then there are many trees which will not stand the zero weather of the middle west which do very well here. Next week I will mention some of the deciduous trees which have gone down in Oregon tree history as among the "best". In the meantime I might add that any one who doubts the ability of de ciduous trees doing well In Ore gon might take a stroll about the state capital grounds at Salem and read the various labels. I think the great variety of trees found there is a fair example of what the Willamette valley can do in tree growing. FUTURE FARMERS' II BiQIIET SUCCESS WOODBURN, Dec. 10.
