PAGE FOUB SECTION 2 Th OBEGON STATESMAN, Salemv Oregon, Sunday Morning. July 1. 1945 j ? j- i t .3- i CnanaDnnnimg "TTflpoOauy Judging fronl the amount and type of inquiries reaching my desk in recent days, there are many new "land" owners and most of them are interested in gardens. This ' is encouraging. People who plan to ; remain in a place only a shdrt -while jare not interested in their grounds. Those who think of their place as more or less "permanent"-usually take an in terest in plantmgrw,',,; and repairing. I noic, too, a a i there is greater interest in gar dens j both or n a men t a 1 and .utilitarian than there has bier before. Andtjhe Willamette val ley has always been aomewoat interested in gar denina. : i iuuit,udii During the; past week I had the privilege of viewing two very - attractive gardens! The one was at Silverton, he other at Salem. , Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cooley have i this soring, completed relandscap- ; ing and planting their home ; grounds.. It is unusually attractive.

At Silverton, I stooi in the archway formed from the huge rlardrel hedge separating the gar- dens of Mrs. George Steelhara mer and Dr. and Mrs. R. J. Van rlMve. The hedre. ' which has -j grown remarkably fast, must be 15 feet tall ! and at least four : wide. To the front of the homes ; this hedge makes an impenetrable i wall, very formally separating the neighbors. But at the back a large. arch has been cut and a little walk leads through in very neighborly fashion. Mrs. Steel- hamer has the back of her gar den lined with flowering shrubs and bright annuals. At the Van cleave home the back is laid out In formal beds after the fashion which we usually associated with England or New England. Neatly ...! clipped low boxwood separates rosebeds and. cutting, beds. Soft j turf, very green, makes wander--i lng between the formal beds in teresting. The Vancleaves have " ,also added a small greenhouse at - the rear of their gardens. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS: I L.V.H., who is4 vacationing in !

' 4 Ans: ' Any number of reasons may be given; too deep planting; too shady a situation; poor drain age, plants! need dividing, dis ease, especially of the roots; bor- trytis blight disease, (root infest ed with nematodes; j lack of fer tilizer; lack! of moisture, lack of sunlight;, injury to buds due to late , frosts, i 5 ; .

D. asks how to rid rises ando cherry trees of little "green worm which makes lace-work out of foliage. Seems to be a similar worm on trees and bushes." iv Ans.: Dust or spray with lead arsenate, or all-purpose spray or dust They, are easily controlled. C. W. M. reports all the leaves are falling from his crabapple tree. They turn black, then curl up and fall off. He wants to know should he spray. V Ans.:Yes, use a ' bordeaux. It may have to be repeated. , A. L. B.i writes that he has heard of a commercial sprayer and wants to know if this refers to someone who will come around and spray a tree or two in a home garden, and if so where can one be found, i And what do they charge? Ans.: Yea, there are several men who do custom spraying both in the country and in towns. I think the price varies somewhat with the number of tree you have. As you give your address as Salem, call W. Gi Nibler at the county agent's office at Salem and I am sure he can direct you to someone who does ,custom spraying. I do not know j what the price is this year at Salem. In some of the smaller town the charge is $1 a tree where there are, less than six trees and 50 cents for each Jree when there are more trees. One advantage! in having a reliable man spray your trees is that he uses a power machine with much more force than you can possibly get with the smaller hand methods. The spray is forced through all the branches and spraying is, as a rule, more thorough. DE Survives Jap Kamikaze Strike at Sea SEATTLE, June 30 - (IP) - The U.S.S. Rail, a destroyer escort, was berthed here today, for repairs af ter a rendezvous with five Japan ese kamikaze planes off Okinawa the afternoon of April 12. It lasted half an hour and at the end the sturdy little ship had a grotesque decoration the tail end of one suicide plane sticking out of a doorway after its wings had been sheared off as it hit the quar terdeck. Simultaneously the kami kaze's 500 pound bomb, torn loose, had kept right on going. The Rail's skipper, Lt Cmdr. Crittenden B. Taylor, Lima, Ohio, said, "Luckily; nobody was in the part of the ship where the bomb hit, and only two men were near the part ' of the ship hit by I the plane. Yet our casualties were ex tremely ! high (21 killed and 38 seriously wounded) because the bursting shrapnel was so near the port side" Commander Taylor said four of the attacking planes were shot down into the sea three by the Rail and the fourth by a nearby cruiser. -The fifth was the only one successful In pressing home his at tack.
