Madsen j I Statesmanj Garden Editor 4 Most persons who have lived in Marion county as long as ! I re member something of the Medi cine Shows. They were free and they were about the 'only shows which ; came fo Silverton. '. Only occasionally did a traveling troop come to town and j give 'us f a thrilling three-; apt "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or some thing I never could remember what f rcim Missouri. ' I j But the . Medi cine: Man' with hj i s ; marvelous herb cures along with the flew really old pio neers who could - - -1 - remember the Indian medicines taken from bur wild growing tilings, fascinated me. As a child, l never could understand why we had to Lave old Doctor Brooks cjr older Doctor Leonard, now both long gone, when we were ill. They always! stuck something own our throats which created n unpleasant sensation, whereas e : medicine I men and Indian- herb believers only wanted us to drink something which j tasted fnildly of the way ferns smell ed In woods on a rainy day. Not un til I once concocted something from leaves bf poison oak and hot only drank it myself but gave t to my neighborhood playmates, d my fmedcine':days cease. I Now it seems that .some of the truly old Indian medicine men may have been just a bit ahead of their time. A recent report from the experimental division at Mich igan Stake college, says that germ killing substances have been dis covered in the fruits of blueberry, currant, mountain ash and honey suckle, and in the leaves of Scotch thistle, mullein and peony. Nega tive results were obtained from horse radish," turnip and cabbage. However, It have no longer any desire to mix up a drink from ! these, but will leave it to Our modern medicine men to mix them into prescribed doses. ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS Mrs. T. D. asks what makes the bark on her lilac split Ans.:, There may be more than one reason. Does is split in many places or just; one? One gardener told me that! her lilac bark split because it gnew too rapidly. In the case of my own I have noted kitten sharpening his claws on the trunk of the little shrub. Mrs. M. K. J. asks me if birds will eat the petals off pansies and other flowers in bloom, nearby. All of those eaten seem to be on low-growing plants. . Ans.: I would be more inclined to think earwigs - or some other pests were responsible. Slugs will also' eat pansy foliage and petals. . D. Casks if Daphne can be pruned or if pruning will kill it ', Ans.: Ernest Iuf er of the Salem Men's Garden club, tells me, that Daphnes prune very well. ; He has shown me a sample of his daphne- pruning. I take it that: D. C. re fers to the Daphne odora. Mr. Daphne cut his so that it would grow more or less upright in stead of spraul about like most of them do. It was quite an im provement ' R. G. asks what to use for woolly aphis. Ans.: Nicotine sulphate will kill these just as it does : the plain little aphis. But you j must see to it that the spray strikes the insects. Add a little soap suds to the spray.: ' j . M. P. writes that she and her husband recently purchased place with a "wistaria running all ovex everything. The blooms are lovely but we can't have such huge vine. It makes the place look ' unkempt Will : it stand pruning?' .1 Ans.: Yes, the wistaria does much better with pruning than without ,ant . it stands " for ' very severe pruning. You can head quite a bit of it back at once. S. A. Y. asks where he can get. information or a booklet on strawberry culture, especially the everbearers. .What kind is -best? Ans. Your county agent at the Salem post office or the state col lege extension : division can send, you a bulletin on strawberry cul ture. Rockhill is considered one IRAN BUYS U.S.!

Laird, farm labor assist ant, said Saturday. The figures show that 5064 man days of labor were used up to June 30 of this year, as compared with 2943 for the same perid in 1944. During June, 223 fanners from the two counties ordered workers rom the labor office as against 292 growers in the. same month ast year, but Laird pointed out the fact that cherries were in full harvest two weeks earlier last year than this year. Seasonal Workers who were placed through the farm labor office in June totaled i 2193 as against 3494 in 1944. . i Twenty-eight full time worker were placed in June this year as against 23 last year. Despite lateness of the crops, Laird said he ' was gratified to tote that 524 growers had ordered hands through the labor office thus far in 1945 as compared with 479 in a like period in 1944. "It indicates a trend toward the use of the office as an asset to growers,? - he said, "which, is the real reason for the emergency labor setup being set in motion.' A breakdown of the placements made in June show 1191 men. 1394 women and 2479 youths as against 388 men, 410 women and 2145 youth in 1944. Three discharged veterans were placed in. full time jobs in June and five veterans worked in the harvest during their furloughs. The figures indicate that the farmers and fruit growers are endeavoring to produce the heav iest crops in years," Laird said, and this accounts for the fact that we are short in the neigh borhood of 200 workers. We need cranberry pickers, cherry pick ers and hay hands. Need for more workers has never been more urgent than now and unless ev ery available worker registers some of the much needed crops will be lost." : "' j- . y- :: i , jT v Joseph Cottea and Ginger Rogers In a scene from the forthcoming picture.

Unless you got a priority," the marine barked, "get that thing out of here. 'This place is over crowded now." ' Hunt. Preston Foster and Dan Duryea in characterizations match ing in depth and excellence the work;. of Miss Garson and-Peck, both of- whom . have - surpassed themselves in the film. ( The Valley of Decision" is the story : of the Scotts, who have built a steel empire, and of Mary Rafferty, the girl from across-the tracks who comes to work as a servant in the big Scott house. In love with Paul Scott (Peck) from the moment she -meets him, Mary struggles , against i this love she feels pan never be realized.
