i I've! made a" number o4- notable
discoveries, both minor and major.
In the major category is US High
way 101. 1 consider it a major dis
covery not only because of its lo
cation and condition, but also be
cause of its significance as a po
tential post-war problem. Trying
to describe US Highway 101 would
be like a man without arms trying
to describe an accordion. You must
see it yourself. v
The distance : as a blimp would
fly from Asoria to the California
border is 295 miles. The distance
along the winding ribbon .of US
101 is 404 miles. That, ladies and
gentlemen, means 109 "miles of
curves, and it seems to me to rep
resent k considerable amount of
crookedness. ' ' 1 1 . 1
, Few persons have ever found
it out; but many ' of the curves
just don't make sense. Most- driv
ers' -a re too busy negotiating the
curves to look. But. I .happen- to
possess' the peculiar , faculty of
dual eyesight, : condition which
naturally developed - after many
days of -travel up and down -.the
curvy coast. The ability to. drive
with one eye on the road and the
.other on, the adjacent area has
enabled me to make a fairly thor
ough survey of things the .ordi
nary driver never sees.
: Seeing what I saw, it was only
natural that sooner or later I'd
get to wondering. At many points,
following he appearance of a
"Sharp Curtves" sign, you seize
the wheel with both -hands and
begin swaying like a - drunken
hoot-owl on - roilerskates., Vth

a few scoops from the bank there
would have straightened the road.
And it could have been done with
even less work than was required

to open my hick

shouldn't I swing.on the lovely red

But the background of the third
picture intrigued me . even then.
This included two or three brightly-potted
geraniums ; growing in

window "and the immense amount
of very large tomatoes in her gar
aen, Because my grandmother
used to 'speak of her native New
England states," I was full convin
ced that all people from New Eng
land could grow anything.
- But it is true that our grandmo
thers were exceptionally good at
'slipping." We were almost reared
to believe that "slipping-Is an art
that died with our grandmothers,
and that ? "cuttings were some
thing that came in with profes
aional gardeners. - C
When we refer ;tb slipping" as
done by our grandmothers we
really mean what most gardeners
bow refer . to as "softwood cut
tings." Softwood cutting is one f
the finest ways . of propagating
provided .we Uke the necessary
time to do it right July is known
as our "softwood cutting month."
Cuttings of this type should be
taken when new growth is at a
certain intermediate stage; neither
. too soft and succulent nor too
hard. Cuttings -should, not, when
bent, snap on like r crush
without breaking. However, a lew
Giants do not abide', by this, rule.

aide shoot cut dirccUy at its base
Is the best But if side shoots are
available, taxe me wp m
ting about t inch below the leaf
or pair of leaves. : ;
After the cuttings have been
made, do not put them into water
but get them into the cutting
bench as rapidly as possible be
fore they have a chance to wilt
Putting the ordinary softwood
cutting into water makes it sus
ceptible to rot If you have to take
your cuttings an hour or two be
fore planting, wrap them in a
damp cloth.
After they have been planted,
keep them in the shade and keep
them moist It is absolutely essen
tial that they be not allowed to
wilt Rooting takes place much
more rapidly in an electrically
heated bed. ., - ; :
A mixture of half sand and half
peat is said to be the very best X
know experts say . this . cant be
true, but the best success I have
ever had in rooting cuttings was
when I used sharp sand which I
brought home from- the- beach. I
Vas told that the salt in the sand
would kill the cuttings. Perhaps it
should have, but at any rate it
didn't and. all the cuttings I ever
"stuck" (which is the right word
for it In my case) into that sand
grew. I know magnolias do root
better in sharp sand. ;
If the sand to be used is soaked
24 hours prior to. the placing of
the cuttings, with a solution of
one ounce of potassium perman
ganate to five gallons of . water,
slow-rooting cuttings may be
somewhat speeded up.
