Tha OSEGON STATESMAN Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning. May 21. 1314 .-( PAGE ELEVEN Jap Zero Coining to Salem By ULUEUADSEN Last Sunday, you may recall, I began telling you about the com- roerdal ' delphinium . grower . I called on for Information. Now to continue this 'information: The grower showed me ' flats the open. They " were S inch : es deep' and I were placed eo : tables two feet : from the ground. "By. using these flats for my seeds I gel the j absolute . drainage whid is jnecessar and then I keep Utile Musm the tiny plants away from pests. The soil is a mixture of good gar den soil and sand. This Is pressed down and watered before the seed Js sown. - The seeds are then ' planted in rows, as you see the ' plants here, and covered of an inch with the same soil sifted fine. We shade them to retain moisture until the little plants appear,1 and then we give them the full light It is very necessary to keep , the soil moist Do not let it dry even for a moment However, do not flood the seeds. You may, replant them; after the third or fourth true leaf appears. We leave them In the frames until spring, giving them a good- sand, covering to protect them. Slugs like delphin i urns rather well, but do not like to crawl on sand. , "We reset our j seedlings In April, placing them 10 inches apart in rows that are three feet apart ' For permanent planting they should be placed two; feet apart each way. Plant the crown ; two inches below the surface of ' the soil and cover with sand in the winter. , "My choice plants . I slip in March, for seeds do - not always come true to type. Especially is this true of newer varieties. The slipping 'is done by breaking off new shoots when they are two or three inches high. We root them In sand much as geraniums are : rooted. "In the third method of propa gating, that of dividing, be sure to wash off all dirt before you divide or you may make a mess of it and have all roots in one hand and crown in the other. You divide' the outer circle of crown points and plant these to grow on as new plants. " j "We do not use barnyard ma nure as a fertilizer, and I advise no one else o use it unless it is very well decayed. We use sheep manure or bonemeat Leafmold is excellent Sawdust will, work into leafmold eventually, I advise a semi-annual top dressing of bone- meal. Put al small trowelful around each -plant in ; the spring when 'growth . first bezins and again in the summer when the second" growth appears. It is well to stir it into the ground slightly but do not cultivate deeply close to delphiniums during the grow ing season. We run a small pow er tractor between the: rows and merely pull out weeds around the plants.- . - . : -: -; ; "When first the blooming sea son is over cut the stalks below th withered flowers. When the new growth shows up cut the old stalks close to the ground. What about diseases?"' I ques tioned. This grower told me that while he had not been troubled much with disease, he had heard re ports of black spot and: root rot A cure which was said . to. take care of both of these is .mercuric chloride, 1 gram; sodifim nitrate, 1 gram; water, 5 gallons. Apply it with a sprinkler close to the plant so that it gets down to the roots. If the plants are weak from an unhealthy soil, try saturating the ground freely, repeating when necessary, with a mixture of two pounds unslaked lime, five gallons of water, and Vi pound of tobacco r 4V '1 t The Jsp Zero pictured above, will make a three-point landing right In the heart ef Salem tomorrow ;! tnernlng.

Tlf true.-'johe said, "it's the most astounding accomplish ment in flying history. It's unbe-" lievable that a smaH land plane such as he flew could travel such distance end. Ka even paore un believable that a flier )n his right mind .would risk a dive in the At lantic against such great odds."

Those who remember his plane say It was little more than a power driven tin box." May 21, 1977 Today is the 50th anniversary of the first , crossing of the ocean by airplane. It was considered - the most .daring stunt of the age, when on this date 50 years, ago. a youth, named Charlie Lindberg flew from New York to Paris in an early - type plane which the experts had said was unsafe for flying above anything but a field of watercress covered with 10 feet of straw. . May 2U 2027 The 100th birth day of aviation is being celebrated throughout the world. It was 100 years ago today - that the first flight by plane was made, by 16-year-old youth named Charlie Limberg, who flew from America to Europe in a contraption he had secretly built of motorcycle parts and a windmill behind his father's barn. May 21, 2127 Today, Aviation day, is the 2C0th anniversary of the birth of flying. On this date 200 years ago (old calendar) a. 12-year-old boy scout named Charlie Limberger flew from, C3iicas to China, in a plane built by himself of 1 materials taken, from , his la ther's barn and powered by a de vice the ancients called a "wind nnir prdpeflor.'' ,v' v May, 1 21, 2927---According:i to Professor Noah.

Although the actual records' have Jong since decayed, the aged professor claims to have uncovered sufficient evi dence to convince other historians that swishing was born on this date 500 years ago, when, a small boy named T- Cha rlie " Cheese swished his father's barn rdoor around the world. 1 .
