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.

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

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.
Many strangers who have come

here to live say that Stayton has
such a nice appearance. Probably
the petunias work two ways. 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. Formaldehyde is the chem
ical most often employed for

too much water, reducing the tem

the soil or applying dry sand to
