The American Rhododendron so- Amazing Discovery in a Hearing Aid Free Private Demonstration Salem - Tuesday, April 23 IJarion Holel A big improvement has been made in a hearing aid now welcomed by thousands. It is a new hearing aid that does not require separate battery pack, battery wire, battery case or garment to bulge or weigh you down'. The tone is na tural, noiseless, clear and powerful. So made that you can adjust it yourself to suit your hearing as your hearing changes. It was developed by the Beltone Laboratories of Chicago, who have had many years of electronic experi ence. In Oregon and southern Washington it is distributed by James N. Taft and Associates of Portland, Oregon, who have been serving1 the hard of hearing since 1934 and are widely recognized in this work. Don't miss the opportunity to try this exceptional hearing aid advancement. Mr. J. R. Nedry, who has had long experience among the hard of hearing, will conduct this demonstration. Tuesday. April 23. at the Marion Hotel in Salem. Just ask the clerk for Mr. J. R. Nedry. ciety, Portland, will hold a Rhod odendron shoW at Portland on May 11 and 12. . i f One of the roost enjoyable eve nings I have spent in a long time was that of last Wednesday when a few of us were asked by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Judson to view the stop-motion pictures of plant growth. Ben Newell, assistant county agent was running the machine. The pictures Were taken at : the New Jersey 'Agricultural experiment station. The growth of 24 hours was shown in eight seconds. Trie leaves of the little plants stretched each trioming. al most as a cat or dog does when it gets up from resting. It reminded me of the midwest where one could stand on a warm summer evening in a corn field and actual ly hear the corn grow. Any one who has an opportun ity to view these pictures should certainly take1 it. They were taken to show the difference in plant grow th when the minor as well as the major earth chemicals were present in the soil. - i , J V I asked Vivienne-v Harold of Stayton to give us some Informa tion on their "Petunia Town" and she writes most entertainingly of the project: ' "In February 1941, 1 suggested to the Garden club (Mrs. Harold writes) that ive solicit orders for petunias, the orders to be turned over, to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Loose, local growers This was really our beginning. "1 was made chairman of a committee and platted the town with af garden member to each section' 'In April, Mr. lioose began bringing into town flats of sturdy plants, some already In bloom. "Then during the early part of 1942, to fight off a feeling of pes simism and to spruce up the town for the boys coming home on their first leaves and furloughs, it was voted again to plant petunias. I believe the petunias have a direct part in the fact that so many ex-servicemen are building new homes at Stayton. I know they helped those of us who stay ed home, over many a hard pot.

They attract the eye of the newcomer away from eye-sores, and make the home-owner more beauty con scious. Certainly the comments on our petunia town have been num erous. "Petunias should be transplant ed once, about six-dozen to a flat and grown on in warmth until about four to six inches, then har dened in a cool frame. The seed is started in February and v e r.y lightly covered. Plants can be grown outside about May; but would give a much shorter sea son of bloom and be straggly if not transplanted. "Petunias must have sunshine, good drainage, a reasonable wa tering. Sometimes they have grown five - feet long branches. One year we decorated a picnic j table for 150 people and a float ; for a parade and after all the ' picking, the petunia plants bloom ed longer than any other year, so they definitely like some prun- ; ing or bouquet-picking to start' out new growth for later bloom- ing. "For bedding, good varieties are ! Topax queen, Celestial Rose, Snow Queen, Cream Star, Heavenly Blue, Blue Bedder and Flaming Velvet. ' "Large ruffled ones like Theo-j dotia. Lace Veil, or any large ruf fled single or double make won derful bedders as well as porch or urn plants. "The plantings at Stayton are judged in the fall in these classes: landscape, parkings, borders, beauty spot, porch and window boxes, 411 and junior gardens, churches and commercial. Points are color harmony, 30; attractive ness of design, 30; quality, 25; vis ibility from street, 15. "There-are about six plants for every man, woman and child who live here." Mrs. Harold adds' that the Stay ton Garden club plans a flower show in May. Week's Work Take the lists of "musts" you gathered at the flower shows of the past few weeks and place the order with the dealer. Sure as the world, if you don't by next week you'll have mislaid it and you'll never find it again until it's way after planting time. Watch out for the folk who want to spray your cherry trees for cherry fly now or your peach trees for leaf curl. While we have some very honest and reliable spraymen among us, we also have some "gip" artists who just want to spray for cash rather than for disease or insects. Be sure the man who rings your doorbell with a spray rig in his hand knows his business. You spray for peach leaf curl in the autumn and dur ing the dormant season. You spray for the cherry fly during the fly season which, is usually from the last of May until June 15. If a good spray salesman calls at your home and wants to spray your trees for something and you are very vague about the infor mation yourself, call Gerry Nibler or Ben Newellfcounty agent's of fice and ask if it is the right time for that spray. (Or if -you live in Polk county, Walter Leth at the Dallas courthouse). It won't take but a minute and you might save your trees as well as your money. Plant as many Vegetables as possible, but don't sow all your seed of one kind at the same time. Successive seedings will lengthen your season of harvest. Don't let weeds eat up the plant food in your garden. Because of difficulty in obtaining plant food, our gar dens are suffering from mild forms of famine. Weeds, before they have gone to seed, make an excellent source of leafmold. One evening not long ago I heard a couple of gardeners telling how they wished they had some com post, at the same time as they told how nice an outdoor fireplace was because "You can throw all your leaves and weeds and things into it to burn and you don't have to have it messing around." Those two statements in the same breath do not make garden sense. Questions and answers: Mrs. D. C. reports she has trou ble with columbines, carnations, pansies, stocks and other plants which "fall over and die" when they are about 114 inches tall." Ans.: Damping-off is undoubt edly the answer. This can be pre vented largely by treating, before sowing, either the soil or seed with heat or with chemicals. The soil should be baked for about an hour.

Formalde hyde dust may be used at the rate of 8 ounces to a bushel of soil. Seeds may be sown 12 to 24 hours after the flats have been treated and thoroughly watered. For treating seed red copper oxide, purchased , tinder various trade names, is beneficial. Use a small pinch of the material in an ordinary; packet of seed, shaking well together in a bottle. The disease may be checked partially by improving the condi tions - - thinning the plants, giv ing them more air, withholding too much water, reducing the tem perature, stirring the surface of the soil or applying dry sand to the soil.

Ans,: The best time seems to be right after they flower unless you are saving some for seed,: In sav ing for seed, pick up all. but one stem of seed pods to a plant. L, T.
