Salem Professional Man
Finds Hobby, Grafting
Sweet Briers
By WINSTON H. TAYLOR
Although roses from his garden
have won prizes for others. Dr.
Kenneth H. Waters, saiem oen
tist. savs he has never won an en
try yet Growing of tree roses at
his home, 2575 East Nob Hill
street. '.ha come to be on large
scale in the past eight years, but
hobby remains the. supreme in
centive.
About 60 varieties of bloom, on
over 80 trees, made the garden.
just few weeks past, beauuxui
both to theye and nose.
1 Every grower, especially an
amateur, has his favorite, one or
mere. Dr. Waters lists for his:
Eclipse, Hoover, Mary Heart
and Talisman. '
Tree roses have several distinct
advantages as a garden plant, he
feels, one , of the principal, being
that other plants can be cultiva
ted under the rose, both saving
space and adding to possibilities
cf design.
They' will grow anywhere and
are not particular about soil, the
grower finds. In fact, "they almost
seem to prefer a poor soil," 'de
clares Waters.
Wild sweet brier, the nuisance
cf the pasture, is used by most
growers as grafting stock, cut to
about 36 inches in height To this
may be grafted bush roses or
climbing roses, the latter especial
ly suitable for fences.
Waters, who has exhibited his
roses twice at the Portland rose
show, Is now trying for-stock a
different type of sweet brier,
"without the thorns." To add to
bis collection, he pots in about
15 briers each winter.
Easy to start is another popular
feature of growing tree roses, for
the grafting can be done in June
end blooms appear in from three
to six weeks.
A new development which Wa
ters was Quick to adopt from com
mercial growers was a rubber
band employed to hold the grafted
bud in place. It disintegrates in
about two weeks of exposure. He
had used other materials before
but was not satisfied.
Care, of course, Is required by
the plants, . although hoeing is
necessary only three or four
times a year. After the leaves
come out, they must be sprayed
every ten days, for which is
recommended a spray "that gets
everything at once." Among the
- "everything" the most impor
tant to "get" are mildew, brown
spot and aphis.
His pastime is considered a
treat not only by Dr. Waters, but
also by friends and neighbors who
share in its effect ' ' -

I visited a delphinium farm
written me asking u I have seen
phiniums at Puyallup, Wash. Yes, I have and I
have also visited Hoodacres near Troutdale. Ore.
This is the home of the beautiful
white delphiniums we read about, f.
Here are some of the hints giv-
en me at my recent visit to the
delphinium grower's gardens:
Many factors enter into the cul
ture of delphiniums, and among
the most important requirements
are: Soil that has perfect drain
age, that is deeply prepared, and
that has a plentiful organic con
tent; and an ample supply of
available plant food.
Propagation may be by seed,
division of roots, or by cuttings.
Propagation by Seed: 1
This is the most common method of propaga
tion. Delhpinium seed is said to germinate best if
sown immediately after it has ripened. If not pos
sible to sow then, put in a stoppered Dome ana
place in a refrigerator until you wish to sow seed.
July sown plants will be ready to transplant the
following spring. If seed is sown in a hot bed in
February or March, plants will be ready to trans
plant in June, and will bloom the first autumn.
Sterilize the sou before planting (uns must
be done two weeks in advance) through the use of
a liquid formaldehyde solution. Use one-half cup
of formaldehyde to a 12-quart pail of water. Use
one gallon of this solution to each square foot I
soil area. Then cover the area with, heavy paper
for 24 hours. When the soil is dry
by cultivating.
Good Seed Important
Get good seed. Keep in a cool dry place until
ready to sow. Before sowing, soak seeds in water
overnight. This hastens germination.
Sow where drainage is perfect To insure this,
in making the seed bed, raise the surface three or
four inches above the surrounding soil. Prepare the
soil deeply.
After the area has been leveled, place seeds on
the surface of the soil, press down with a board,
and cover lightly with peat moss or leaf mold. Ger-.
mination requires moisture, aeration, and steady,
low temperature. Cover seeds . with old burlap
sacks. See that the beed is kept damp, not wet, un
til the first seeds germinte, which will be from 20
days to a month from time pf planting. Remove
covering and keep moist until all seeds have ger
minated, which may take two weeks longer. Keep
cultivated and pull weeds.
, In transplanting seedlings, shade the first few
days. Before transplanting, immerse roots of seed
lings in a corrosive sublimate solution one tablet
to a pint of water.
Propagation by Division' of Roots:
Roots may be divided and transplanted either
spring or fall. Preferable time is early spring, when
plant is most vigorous and will have a long period
of cxl growing weather. Use divisions from 3 or 4-year-dld
clumps. Do not allow plants to make too
much growth before dividing. Divide as soon as
shoots appear. When dividing, immerse divisions in
a corrosive sublimate solution one tablet to a pint

Defense not
To Result in

Seed of Strategic Item
Elsewhere May Affect"
Styling and Weight
By DAVID J. WILKIE
DETROIT, June 21.-(Special
News i Service) -Substitute meth
ods' of manufacturing will-figure
as prominently as substitute ma
terials in the motorcar industry's
effort to conserve defense-needed
metals. ... . . . ;
The changes in automobile de
sign and production hereafter
will be many but. exeept for
outward styling, few; will, be
apparent to the average motor
1st . .r" ; - ; '
These are views of leading au
tomotive engineers now in the
midst of the car production prob-
ems created by the urgency of
the defense program. .
The use of substitute materials
automatically creates the necessi
ty for .substitute manufacturing
methods some of entirely ' new
technique and some involving the
development of new equipment of
which there already is a major
shortage.
These new processes, incidentally,-
add to the production
costs of the automobile Indus
try. The engineers estimate the
cost en this score alone will be
p from $25 to $50 per car.
An example pointed out recent
ly by a leading engineering auth
ority who figures in volume car
and truck production is the great
er amount of machining work in
volved in making steel and cast
iron pistons to replace the alum
mum variety and in numerous
other similar operations.
With all the material substitu
tlons planned and they go all
the way from cylinder heads to
contact points the fortunate
thing, say the metallurgists and
engineers, is that there will be no
quality deficit in the cars of next
week and next year.
. As to changes in materials
and manufacturing methods
there Is little disposition amonr
the technically-minded In the
industry to believe that many
Of them will be discarded once
the emergency has passed.
Most of the car engineers hold
that "as long as we can get Steel
we can make automobiles; we can
substitute for almost everything
else. There will be only an infin
itesimal amount of the so-called
"critical" and 'strategic" metals
in the 1942 model cars, they add.
In most Cases malleable Iron, cast
iron and steel can be used as sub
stitutes for the vital metals.
A slight ever-all Increase In
car weight Is expected to result
from the replacement ef some
parts with cast Iron; this will
be counterbalanced to some ex
tent, however, by the use of
plasties in place f sine as in the
case ef instrument panels, Car
buretors and fuel pumps, ef
course, will be of cast iron in
stead of sine.
An interesting development re
specting the metals allocation by
the office of production manage
ment is the expectation In auto
mobile circles that a differentia
tion will be made between the
need for new parts construction
and the requirements of car serv-
icing, wun tne latter receiving
preferential consideration.

Swegle Woman
Has Garden,
Greenhouse
SWEGLE Frequent rains this
summer have been helpful for the
crops and have made the subur
ban homes very colorful with
many beautiful flowers. Every
community has some homes which
are outstanding in their arrange
ment of shrubbery and flowers.
One does not read oftheir flower
exhibits or see the names of the
homes in print but growing of
different kinds of flowers is the
hobby of many women in the ru
ra Willamette valley.
Mrs. A. C Schaffer, of this
community, living on Garden
road is one of those women. She
has their grounds arranged in
definite gardens and spends many
hours each day at work with her
flowers.
On the west side of her front
lawn are the roses, with very
fine tree roses along the drive
way. In early spring before the
regular roses bloom the grounds
are covered with beautiful prim
roses with the yellow over their
leading color. On the east side
of the lawn are the annuals, and
the outstanding flowers there are
the delphiniums of which she has
some very choice varieties, both
as to color and height of stalks.
Directly back of the house is
the garden with the large outdoor
fireplace. It has a large stove on
one side and above the regular
firebox is an oven where biscuits
can be baked. Around this yard
she has Just a variety of small
flowers. One large garden seat
has a history. It is made from
the wheels of a stage Mrs. Frank
Rickert, her neighbor, drove a
team to across the mountains from
Nebraska about 40 years ago,
a . . . .
wnen uey came west to make a
new home.
Mr. Schaffer has just finished
a small greenhouse IVx feet by 18
feet and a lath, house of the same
size for Mrs. Schaffer where she
can have the plants for resetting.
This spring she has put out over
100 flats of plants.
Back of the greenhouse are the
croquet grounds surrounded by
lilacs, ferns and lilies and farther
on a section set off for wild flow
ers and shrubbery.
in tne vegetable garden you
will find the gladioli and chrys
anthemums and other fall flow
ers, and even an herb garden.
She has never commercialized her
work but Just puts in long hours
for the pleasure she has in seeing
plants grows. She thinks, she
might specialize later in one or
two varieties.

The "hotel," a single large room

stove and radiators and fitted

were once 125 loaned by Maj.
Gen. George A. White to the city)
without mattresses or covers, pro

its last season. Approximately
10,000 meals were served. .
Meals at Hotel de Minto are
breakfast and dinner. The latter,
consisting largely of meat and
vegetable stew, is ready At 5 p. m.
and is kept hot until early hours
of the morning so that all comers

contributed food with the feel

transients they were providing
insurance against certain types
of crime as well as assisting oft
en worthwhile men.'
When the Salem community
chest was organized in 1937, the
hotel was one of the original ag
encies participating. It is the only
agency making a business of shel

gle men, and is operated practic
ally- without overhead. The cook
and host who entered Salem as a
transient two years ago is "one
of the boys," and .is just now em

he worked last summer.
What problem of transient care
tne hotel may face this fall is a
question. Calling men to work in
defense industries has removed
frpm the road numbers of last
year's transients, those in charge
of the agency believe, but they re
call also the upset conditions in
