which ever you prefer.. Then, also
before you dust or spray, go over
the bed, remove all weeds or grass
that may have escaped notice
while admiring: the rww. Look
over the bushes for suckers and
remove if any are found.
If the soil is very dry, water
thoroughly and I do mean a real
soaking. When all of this is done
then dust or spray., Some of the
commercial mixtures are rather
cure-alls and will not stain the
foliage. I still cling to the old sul
phur dust and arsenate. With each
tabespoonful of dusting sulphur
yhich I put Into the dusting gun,
t add one of calcium arsenate.
If you really soaked the bed

irrigate again for a week. By that
time the dust will have had its
effect. If you are bothered much
with aphids, you might spray .with

As head of the GET (Grant Ex

with Communique No. S, on the
progress of ay invasion of Ore
gon. The first skirmish at Pendle
ton, I regret to report, was. tem
porarily lost at the- end of three
weeks, when, on the evening of
June 13, .we received a ultima
tum from the -enemy to evacuate.
We were bivouacked in what we
thought was a friendly hotel
which also housed- Great Dane
female dog of imaaenae and re
pulsive proportions.) But it is now
apparent - that our identity bad

discovered, we were promptly and
vigorously -set upa -end put to

We had i planned to withdraw
anyway, at dawn of the following
morning, so we moved on Free
water and Milton, and with neg
ligible tasaeal I'un-glad to report
that the citisena- of- these two
peace! oving towns not only of
fered no opposition, but actually
welcomed - our arrival ahsoct
without incident. Oddly enough,
the only serious hostility encount
ered was that offered by a lady
beautician, cosmetically engaged
in. furthering the war effort, who
sputtered: machine-gun verbiage
at us for having parked our. mud'
spattered, oversized -Jeep in front
of her fceauty. haven.
If you are acquainted with Ore-
?:on geography and our aims, you
an readily appreciate our position
after Milton and Freewater. In
order to avoid being trapped be
tween Walla 1 Walla and Blue
mountain, we were compelled to
revise our strategy; and move
again on Pendleton. For our only
-escape was to fh south.
We decided to attempt aa en
try iaU Penile tarn at aight, and,
; as we pUaaed, H. was a sarprlse

Aad since good military tactics
teach that sleestfaMr eaeaay Is a
harmlass one, we drenmvented

among frleads.
After a few days o rest, dur
ing which our scouts reported the
feasibility of another move south

well worn Old Oregon trail which
had thoughtfully been beaten for

took, successfully, La Grande and

Many rose growers ,like to give
bushes a feeding of balanced fer
tilizer Just as they finish heavy
blooming in June. This peps them
up for the later blooming period.
But if you1 have fed them well in
early spring it is really not neces
sary. If you have given but a
light feeding of a commercial fer
tilizer in early spring, it might be
beneficial to give another one
now, -v -vi"' i
-Speaking of feeding plants: now
is the time to give rhododen
drons their summer feeding. Scat
ter the plant food over the top of
the mulch and water it well. down.
Do not use bonemeal as the food
for azaleas or rhododendrons. De
cayed cow barn fertilizer? is good.
A balanced commercial plant food
is also -beneficial. While it is not
at all necessary to be continuous
ly sprinkling rhododendrons and
azaleas, dur in g the summer
months, you should give them a
few good Soakings, making sure
that you leave the water on: the
bed long enough to reach the roots.
This also applies to the camellias.
Never hoe either the azaleas or
the rhododendrons. I know I have
mentioned this before, but judging
from some of the letters I have re
cently received, it seems this will
bear repeating.

early capture of Prineville, but in
the mountain passes we met tre
mendous opposition i. when we
found ourselves encircled by great
flocks of sheep which, under the
leadership of their calamitous-
appearing herders, fought us so
valiantly that at times we -gave
serious consideration to uncondi
tional surrender.
"The bitter and determined hos
tility of' this enemy, X insist.
should go down in history, for our
own forces have never fought with
such ferocity. While we must re
cognize the resistance in pert must
be attributed to the presence of
overwhelming numbers, I say to
you that not even-millieas of -such
warriors could have stemmed the
force of our xlrive had they not
possessed hearts -and courage of
pure - cold . iron. Moreover, they
fought as one, like an immoral
machine designed for malignant
obstruction of all progress.

from an elderly native of Prine

Our orders were, in the event
we were successful at Bend, to
immediately push on. across the

at Bend while : repairs of our
equipment could be made and our
forces reorganized. As a conse

was held up until dusk of the fol

scarcely entered the city before
receiving a communication from

strategy was again revised and,
after three days, we again bat
