Th OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Sunday Morning J March 18, 194S PAGE ELEVEN "!S CBsaD3aIl(BimnnDg , TTqflsay Schooistaff Is lie-elected A little of an herb goes a long way, so, in making an herb gar den, it is well to remember that quality is more f V - , vn 1 mm' imiii i -'ini.iii. in i than quantity. It is also better to arrange the herb 1 garden In a gco metric pattern than in a-natur alistic form.' , nerDs are unit ed with the kit chen and should be planted in the back door gar den, if the gar-' , . r. : ' ueuri. xoriun- LtUie Mad sen ate enough to have such an ar rangement The pattern may be arranged by means of paths. Even a small herb garden should have its path, as few gatherers of pars ley, thyme or mint like to wade through wet grass for their gath ering. Paths may be made of broken concrete, gravel, brick, flat stone - - any of the materials which make good all-year-round step ping. If the flagstones are used, hyme may be planted -between them. - i Into every herb garden should go parsley, dwarf lavender, chives, which form a good edging. The lavender or germander may be used for small, low hedges as they will lend themselves to clipping, If the garden is built on the cir cle or square plan, a strawberry barrel may be used as a "center piece." 4 - There is no limit - - almost - - ta. the variety of herbs 'one can have. But is is well to study the herbs a bit .so that they can be properly ararnged.. For instance it would not be well to alternate rosemary, dill and thyme. Sage is good if you have space for it to sprawl a bit But sage should not be permitted to sprawl too much It can be clipped back A plant of peppermint is handy for summer drinks. It will grow best in the damper spots of the garden. . - Questions and Answers: Mrs. L. Salem, asks if sal sify and Spanish oyster-plant are the same. Answer: No, the Spanish oyster plant is a scolymus and while re lated, it is not at all the salsify; the root of which is used for flavoring. ' Salsify' is botanically taropogon porrifolius. On the market it is often called oyster plant The plant is a rich, feeder and responds well to all-round fertilizer when it can be had. Mrs. B.T, Woodburn, asks if she may still plant rhubarb and in what kind of soil. ' Answer: Plant it as soon as pos sible. Dig a rather large hole and nil ine bottom with manure. Cov er with rich soil and set the plants about four inches from the - too f the soil. - Uanf growers tell me they dig a trench three feet deep, fill in to one foot of surface with well - decayed cowbam fertilizer, then put eight inches of good soil on top of this before planting. The plants should be set about four feetapart and no stalks should be pulled the first year. Every fall the plants should be mulched with strawy manure which should be dug in during early spring. . C. I. writes he is a newcomer here from the south. He heard friends the other day discussing the growing of peppermint in Oregon. He adds .that he looked through the garden encyclopedia and found that they listed , only Michigan as a place for pepper mint growth commercially. He wants to know if any is really grown here commercially. Ans.: I have often noted that neglect in our better : known en cyclopedias.

FJEaaft B Von ThSnlt o2 Yousfselff? Says You "Oh, I am not bad fellow. I like a good time and all that; but I pay my debts, don't harm anyone intentkmly, 'shoot square' with everybody, d a good turn when there is a need. I try to do unto others as I would have them do unto me. That's my religion. And I think I will get by all right You see, I am not such a bad guy." v; l- S think ? are a pretty gmy," eh? Well, jast read what God Says About You "The Lord fooked-down from heaven uoon the children of men, to see if there were any that did anderstand, and seek God. They are all goi?e aside, they are all together become filthy; ihere are none that doeth good, no not one. (Psalm 143, 3). Their throat Is ma open sepulchre, wHh their tongues they have used dcet; the poison of asp is tinder their lips; whose mouth is 'dfull of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the - way of -peace -have-they not known: there is no fear of God . before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith. it saith to them who are under the law: that EVERY MOUTH MAY E STOPPED AND ALL THE WORLD MAY BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD."! (Romans 3:13, 19). 1erefore thou are inexcusable, O MAN, WHOSOEVER THOU ART that Judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou con demnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things And thinkest thou this, o man, that judgest them that do such, things, and does the same, that thou shaK escape the JUDG MENT OF GOD." (Romans 2:1-J). But you may say, ''Surely this does not apply to me!" But God savs that it doe. He says it applies to ALL THE CHILDREN OF MEN. ... . "LET GOD BE TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR: AS IT IS WRITTEN. THAT THOU MIGHTEST BE ' JUSTIFIED IN THY 8AYINGS." ' (Romans 3:4) ; 0 r Then is there no wav of en? Tbk God. there .

"Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethern, that through this man is preach ed unto you the forgiveness of sins: and bv Him U be lieve are Justified from all things, frohv which you could not - be justified by the law of Moses."
