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

Aviation authorities, who stated
yesterday his chances of success
were a thousand to one, are still
skeptical. 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."

May 21, 1944 Today is the 17th
anniversary of Cot Charles A.
Lindbergs 1 historical non-stop
flight from New York to Paris It
was on the night of! May 21, 1927,
that the young flier amazed the
aviation world by setting bis small
plane down on 14 Borget field
amid . the astonishment of thou

wagers that he would never make
.In view of the tremendous im
provement in plane manufacture
since then, even the most accom

hard toK believe Lindy .actually
made the flight And he is as si
lent about it as a dam with a
muzzle. 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

birthday, of swishing. Although
the actual records' have Jong since
decayed, the aged professor claims
to have uncovered sufficient evi
