(Continued from page 4)
I hare received this week's let
ter from a charming woman, long
a dweller in southern-California,
who has read certain references
to former-day Iowa people and
things which hare appeared in
this column. She says I lore all
the 'back home things yon write
about. It is still home to me back
there where the tall corn grows,
dust storms and all. There are
few places that do not have a bit
of 'unusual weather at times.
'Mountain Quail was before my
time, but I remember her Just the
same, and" well, such was the
spirit and tone of the message
and it was very good.
Also during the week I hare
had a pleasant visit from a young
woman with a greeting from an
elder sister, now In Chicago,
whose husband I once knew as
the publisher of an Iowa weekly
newspaper. I had supposed
these people had forgotten me
"'years ago. That they had not done
so may be accounted for perhaps
by the natural Impulse of us all
to cling to past associations to
a time when our 'worlds wer$
younger and congenial hope burn
ed bright and strong and the
seams of the garment oC life chaf
ed not. I am grateful for remem
brance. And also a young man whose
former home was in Maine ha3
dropped in to suggest the forma
tion of a New England society in
Salem. Such a society might serve
a good purpose in mitigating the
"old home" pangs suffered by
transplanted New Englanders.
The idea is doubtless a very good
one.
However, the fact remains that
few If any residents of Salem or
of the Willamette valley or of the
Pacific coast everreturn perman
ently to their former homes in
the east or south or midwest
once they hare become settled
here. I hare been asked what I
consider to be my "home town",
and I hare thought the matter
over. I doubt whether any other
town would at this period in my
lite seem so much like home to
me, asSalem feels. And that is
the answer, let the threads of
: memory reach where they may.

A gold nugget worth $5,000 was

near Highlands, N. C.
By LILUE L MADS EN
ND from over at Ocean Lake
comes an inquiry as to how
dahlias will grow there. I
have never seen finer dahlias
than those growing - along the
coast. Of course, they should ,be
planted against the beach cottage
or back of a wind break so that
the plants are not broken before
they bloom. The moist salt air
seema to add to the size and inten
sity of the coloring of the dahlia
blossoms. To may have to add
some humus to your garden there,
or perhaps a little complete plant
food. But some of the coast gard
eners tell me they add nothing to
the sandy soil the .first year. Pe
tunias, phlox and cosmos also do
noticeably well at the seashore.
In answer to the question as to
when primroses shoald be divided,
III repeat that this should be done
as soon as they are through
blooming. Most of the English
primroses divide nicely. Prim
roses may be set out at anytime.
They transplant quite well even
when they are in bloom if a little
care is taken not to shake off alt
the dirt about the roots. Prim
roses are certainly "ia" this year,
aren't they? The other day while
I was rambling about Portland
gardens,; I noticed primroses in
almost every single garden.
English primroses, contrary to
the opinions of some, do grow
nicely from seed. I have grown
many varieties that way. A bril
liant orange primrose which has
been the envy of my friends this
spring, was grown from seed snd
uiuoraea lae second year. rom a
package of Sutton's blue prim
roses we secured three lovely
shades of blue, and from the yel
low package came the palest yel
lows to the brilliant orange. Evi
dently last year I failed to pick off
all the seed pods, which was real
ly my intention, and the other
day I discovered several tiny seed
ling primroses along the large
plants.
Starting Primroses
Iu starting primroses from seed.
I have found that boxes about six
inches deep and 18 inches square
filled the bill for me. I filled the
first three inches of the box with
good garden soil, placed an inch
of sand on top of this and pressed
the seeds down in little rows.
Then I placed a window glass over
the top of the box and a piece of
burlap over the glass. The glass
should not fit the box so perfect
ly that all air circulation is shut
out. The sand must be kept moist
at all times. Sometimes the prim
rose seed germinates quite rap
idly and at other times it is very
slow about it. Why, I'm not sure.
Perhaps the age of the seed has
something to do with it.
When the little plants appear,
I removed the burlap but kept the
box in a shady place. Care must
be taken to give the plants suffi
cient air circulation to prevent
dampening off and yet they must
not be permitted to dry oat. ..
Fight Against Slugs .
Constant: watch must be kept
for slugs as they will, if at all
possible, crawl ever tha edge of
the box and do away with tha lit
tle plants. However, slags dislike
sand and become discouraged if
they find a stretch ot sand sep
arates, them from' the plants.
If the plants are large enough
to handle by fall, they may. be set
out . In their permanent location.
And they shoald be large enough,
if the seed is planted soon. But if
they are not, they may be left
growing in the seed box until ear
ly spring.
If yon are setting out primroses
this spring, be sure to give them a
place that has good drainage.
Drainage is very Important to the
common primrose. Keep the
ground loose a boat the plants. I
find a ground cover ot peat moss
is quite beneficial if the drainage
is good.
Advice on Mams
It is getting to be the time of
the year to divide your chrysan
themums. If you are placing them
in your, perennial border, dig the
places deep, mix in some plant
food and after the plants are set
in, mulch them with sand or peat
moss. I have found It a good idea
to place some alug bait about the
mums. Sometimes cut worms can
even be lured to nibble of the bait,
and cut worms are almost enemy
No. 1 of chrysanthemums. If you
are setting out new ones, aorrv
forget to ask about the - early
blooming sorts. We may not nave
an autumn like last year all the
time. Last year I picked my last
bosquet of mums for the season
in January. '
Larkspurs do not like trans
planting and should be sown In
their permanent location la the
beginning. They grow easily from
seed and it la but a short while
until they, bloom. Their feathery
green growth la lovely even when
they are not invbloom.

SERVICE STATION
TOWN ill SITE
MT. ANGEL. April 20. One of
the finest Improvements -to be
made ,in ML Angel; will be the
construction of a new superser
vice station and garage by Louis
A. LeDoux oa the grounds of the
old LeDoux service garage.
Employes of Mr. LeDoux, to
gether with numerous SERA
workers of the city, completed
the destruction of the old build
ing this week to make room for
a modern tile service station.
The city is aiding in this work
in return for- a strip of property
which is needed to straighten
Railroad street and to eliminate
the hasardous corner where Main
and Railroad streets join.
The destroyed building has had
a varied and interesting history,
having first been used as the
town's first community hall long
before the turn of the century
and serving in turn as store,
meat market, residence, furniture
store and finally garage.

AN EASER THOUGHT
On Easter morn the church Is

With folks from far and near.
Why have they come in such great
throngs? f. - v; '
"What - motives brought them

Came they to. worship Him, who
The first eteat Easter morn .
Arose the victor over death'
Or came they: Him to scorn?
Perhaps some folks are out today
To display new attire
They get no Inspiration from
The singing of the choir. .
And here are some who never
come
. To church but once a year
Why have they met with as
, today?'
What motives brought them
here?
If they believe that Christ arose
And liveth yet today,
Why do they not each Sabbath
morn
To worship wend their way?
If yon are here who, came to seek
Forgiveness for sin.
It was for you that Jesus died;
For you He rose again.'
Just trust Him take Him at His
word
And joy will fill your heart.
Just come to Him with all your
Bin
And from Him ne'er depart.
Oh, may we all who've met today
Oar whole hearts to Him give.
And truly worship at His feet.
Who taught us how to live.

JUDGE NOT
Christian people' Be careful
this Easter time! Do not be too
ready to condemn our boys who
fall in error! - It is the burnt
child who fears the fire!
The meek and lowly Savior urg
es us to let him, who. is without
sin, be the one to cast the first
stone! If an educated man and
a deep thinker can turn squarely
around ia his tracks nd begin
anew, let every man. womaa ana
child in ' Oregon help Reverend
Richardson Tebbets to make a
new start. - " " r

WARNS AGAINST FALL
To the Editor of the Statesman:
No doubt the scoffing portion of
oar population has been given a
big boost in the defalcation of a
certain minister who was overtak
en at Tiajuana, Mexico. - - -
Let none be . discouraged . or
scoff tag at this episode for it on
ly nroves the breedr as one a
man bought eggs for pure 'bred
white chickens and when one- or
two hatched out black, and the
owner was disappointed, he w;
Informed: "That only prores the
breed." Without tha genuine.
there could be no counterfeit;
without the- true there could be ne
false.
Moreover, it proves, the word of
God. Christ said: "The Kingdom
of Heaven is like ante a net, that
was cast into the sea, and gath
ered of every kind Matthew 13:-
47. The gospel net does not catch
one class ot fish only. Also there
would be "wolves in sheep's cloth
ing, and "tares among the
wheat. We cannot be dishearten
ed at the fulfillment of prophecy.
neither should they scoff.
But let ns hear the conclusion
of the matter. How does it end
and how will it be with us? Speak
ing of the net, Jesus continued:
"Which when it was full, they
drew to shore and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels.
but cast the bad away. And as
for the tares, "Let both grow to
gether until the- harvest; and In
the time of the harvest I will say
to the reapers, gather ye together
first the tares, and bind them into
bandies to burn them, but gather
the wheat into my barn." It Is
every one's biggest business & see
to it that he is not in the latter
class. ; . '
. And then there is the ever pres
ent temptation to sin which mast
be considered.. That is the rea
son there is so much in the Bi
ble on watching. lit the wonls of
SU Peter: "Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary, the devil,
as a roaring Hon. walketh about
seeking whom, he may devour.
1 Pt. 5:8.
Bat thank God, there is protec
tion from. sin and the devil. See
Matt. Ii21. And as regards one
who may fall ander temptation.
there is forgiveness: 1 John 1:5.
Let as net-be vainglorious, but
as the 'inspired Apostle wrote:
"Let him. who thinketh he stand
eth. take beed lest be tall. 1 Ap.
16:12.
