. Dom on the heels of royalty,
the . Orejon State Motor associ
ation tonr party reached the Ca
nadian Rockies a realm of
challenging beanty and one of
attractive , mystery for most
Americans. : . ;,;:'-7
Two barriers have up to this
time fairly . effectively blocked
any wide-spread travel from the
Pacific northwest into the Banff
Lake Louise area.
1. Poor roads.
: 2. It has been oversold as a
rich' man's paradise.
Happily, this grcaj of travel
counselors from Oregon found
that neither obstacle logger has
any essential merit
In the last five years Alberta,
Crown tourist conscious, has
ought to hasten its road pro
gram. Although - several gr ps remain
to be bridged and much will be
dona, early ,this summer ana
although : some mileage is not
yetduBtless, the main highways
1b Albert may ie traveled with
reasonable comfort and speed.
Banff and Lake Louise nave
long borne a reputation as catering-
chiefly to the- financial
and social elite. Jhe average
resident of Oregon would prob
ably voice the opinion that at
least a modest fortune would be
required for even a sLort visit
at this Justly famous resort
For Every Taste
Whether entirely true In the
past' or not, the .cts are that
Banff and Late Louise now offer
tc the American tourist accom
modations suited to every taste
and pocketbook. Motor cabins,
tourist inns and luxury hotels are
available at prices comparable
to those one would expect to pay
for similar appointments in this
country.
Crossing the boundary presents
no considerable Inconvenience;
the distance. with modern high
trays and motor cars no great
deterrent. ...
It the cost of a trip to Banff
and Lake Louise has been over
emphasized in th last, the scen
ery has not. It is one of the
few places where every expecta
tion excited by preliminary . lit
erature was fulfilled. Yon can
believe what you have heard
about the Canadian Rockies.
A strange sense of seieuity is
experienced by those who view
these snow-crowned peaks.
It is as . if the mightiness oi
nature had dwarfed aid mini
mized transient troubles. The
strength and endurance of the
glacier hung crags, th'- peaceful
valleys,' the - dashing ice-fed
streams, the crystalline lakes
and the primeval " forest seem
to offer "complete security to
shut ont strife and provide com
posure. !:
It is difficult fir one to ex
plain this reaction but - no one
who has been there will doubt
its reality, . . . .
Last week this motor expedi
tion . of scenic rediscovery . was
traced through Montana to Great
Falls. , At Browning two mem
bers were adopted by the Black

freshened things
immensely.

number of In

Go over your bushes and re
move all dead blooms. Do not al
low the strength of the bushes
to go into seed pods. And do 'not
throw the removed blooms on the
rose bed. Burn them. They carry
both insects and disease spores.
Go very thoroughly over the
bushes with an all purpose spray
or dust, which ever you prefer.
I have found it well to spray the
ground itself around the bushes.
Keep them well cultivated.
Dr. T. Allen Kirck of Roanoke,
Va., president of the American
Rose society, visited Portland re
cently and in a newspaper inter
view told of th tests being made
on a theory expounded by a
Frenchman ' named Mallarin. Mal-
larin has advanced the idea that
an increase of potassium in the
soil may prevent all rose diseases.
Dr. Kirck says it will be some
months before the results of the
tests will be known.
For the past two summers I
have given by rose beds a special
feeding of potassium and have
found. It very beneficial. I got the
idea from giving wood ashes to
them. The bushes around which I
nsed the hardwood ashes never
seemed to be so full of disease as
the others,. I Jtrured lhatJLhe pot
ash in the ashes was the thing
that helped, So two years ago I
gave each bush - a. trowelf ul of
potassium. Whether' It is just the
seasons or the potassium itself.
know the plants have been ex
ceptionally fine these; past two
years. Also It -seems that those
given to weak-neck do strengthen
up to quite a degree. Some crow-
en give each bush a teasDoonful
of iron sulphate which, it is said.
will Increase the richness of the
color. Of course, one has to bo
careful and not work on the
theory that if a little feeding is
good, much must be. better. Don't
make drag addicts of your rosea.
I have been trying to avoid any
heavy nitrogen fertiliser In my
rose beds other than that given
the plants through cow manure.
Heavy- nitrogen feedings, one no
tices, tends to increase mildew.
Potash has a tendency to cheek
it. The use of potassium sulphate
is recommended. - -
Aphis on Increase
Aphis have also - greatly - in
creased during the damp weather.
not only la the rose bed but else
where, A contact spray is neces
sary . for their control. Nicotine
sulphate Is still the best aphis
control. ' i
Porch boxes are also being com
plained about. In some' cases
wonld suggest that they , had been
neglected during the rainy time
Too frequently, we depend upon
the rains to dampen the hanging
baskets underneath porches and
trees. Don't do that. Water regu
larly, although they do not need
as much water as they do in the
dry season. Wilt is a disease that
has entered the .porch box world.
The soli should have been baked
or treated before planting ..the
boxes. Dig a little lime or aemesas
into the son. , Spray the. plants
with Bordeaux. The bacterial leaf
spot which turns the leaves yellow
and causes them to drop oft can
be controlled fairly well by the
Bordeaux spray. ,
. - Line for Portoiacas
- Mrs. Lit: B. The soil in which
your portulacas are growing IS un
doubtedly too heavy and conr.
Sprinkle a little lime over the top
of the sou and stir lightly in. Keep
the soil loosened so that air can
enter the surface of it. Portulacas
like best a light warm aoU, , , .
' Answers: to general inquiries
The Cowering almond' is sub
ject to a brown rot which causes
the leaves and branches to die
back. Ton should cut off the
withered ' branches ' at once - and
spray with Bordeaux. Had you nth

started spraying at once yon could

the web worm which particularly
attacks the cotoneaster,- barberry
and shrubs of like kind. It should
be controlled tor it can kill a
shrub.it it is left undisturbed. .
, Very likely garden slugs or cut
worms or even earwigs are taking
your little plants, Mrs. C L. T.
Dust them with rotenone and scat
ter some of the dust over the
ground near the plants.
A copper oxide spray is being
experimented with in mildew and
similar disease controls. A green
dye-copper oxide mixture seems
to be the most effective. Some
experiments are being carried on
to test its efficacy in cases of the
fairy-ring which is so injurious
to lawns.
Sow bugs may be controlled by
a poison bran. Mrs. O. T. F. com
plains that they gather in huge
congregations beneath her porch
boxes and eat holes in the wood.
Spray the wood beneath the
porch box and also the bottom of
the box w 1 1 h a lysol solution.
Paint will help keep out these
unattractive bugs. They do con
gregate In damp places, partic
ularly where there s wood.
About Filling Cavities
H. W. Although it is not gen
erally advised that the layman
do cavity work on trees, he can
do many of the little repair
obs. If the cavity is not too
large it need not be filled. At
the 193 S Shade Tre conference
at Philadelphia the reports show
that the consensus of opinion
was that the main reason for
filling most cavities was aesthe
tic and that In many cases a
cavity,, properly cared for ; and
treated, would be as satisfactory
as one that had been filled so
far as the well being and health
of . the tree are concerned.
A good tree surgeon can do
much to prolong the life of a
tree and should be called if at
all possible. In your case, H.W.,
you may be able to. care for the
tree itself as the wound Is

should not be done. It may be
well, these tree en say, to
paint the top and bottom of the
opening to bring about quicker
healing. Seed stores carry a
number of satisfactory wound
dressings. Care should be used
not to use a substance that is
injurious to the cembiam layer
of growing tissue. If creosote la
used care mnst be taken to keep
it from contact with Co bark.
The same is true of ordinary
linseed oil house paint. Feed
the injured tree, as a vigorously
growing ; tree will recover much
more rapidly than a weaker
tree.;
Some gardeners aro renortlne
that lace bugs hare appeared on
their rhododendrons and azaleas
and. are doing considerable dam
age to these. The lace bug is
somewhat related to the aphlds
ana snoma be sprayed with a
nicotine or rotenone spray. :
uruos feeding on roots may
frequently be controlled by the
se of 1 ounce of corrosive sub
limate in 10 gallons of water
used to water the plants. Give

Not , Complete Fertiliser
Mrs. S.W. Boaemeal is not a

lacks potash. But it is a good

Three principal causes leading
to war are said to be, first, covet-
ousness; second, safety or seu-ae-
tense, and third, reputation or
face-saving." -
la my opinion the churches la
their corporate capacities 1 should
not sanction the participation of
the United States in any European
conflict under the above men
tioned first and third causes of
war.
When war Is mentioned in this
article in connection with the par
ticipation ot the churches it has
to do only with the second cause
mentioned, that is, self defense.
Horrible to Kill
It must be a horrible experience
to kill someone in self-defense,
yet even a devout Christian is not
condemned for it. War even In
self-defense must be as terrible as
Sherman said it was, and as "hor
rible" as -Chamberlain said It was
Just before he left for Munich
But to save helpless' women and
little children from horrible and
hellish bombing might' well be
come a Christian passion. To suf
fer a living death in a concentra
tion camp may be even more terri
ble than war. It there Is a right
eous cause and an unrighteous
cause I can see no reason why the
churches should not sanction their
government's participation in
fight for the right.
We look forward to the day
wjien swords shall be beaten into
plowshares. The time is not here
yet. We may be ready, but others
apparently not. An eminent writer
tells us that the brown and yellow
races are kept out of North Amer
isa solely by the threat of vio
lence. Should we beat our swords
into plowshares and let the teem
ing millions ot Asia with their low
standard of living force us down
to the level of the Chinese coolie?
Should we institute a disarmament
program here and now and give
free reign to the undesirable
"isms" of Europe to destroy not
only our form ot government, but
our standards of living, and cul
tural progress and invite a reign
ot terror and a return to barbar
ism? War Afar May Be Best
