McWhorter of the f tate .college, tells me that sul phur alone or in combination with other materials is the most ef fective fungicide for the control of black-spot, mildew and rust frtl of which have been hard on roses thW season. The sulphur may be applied a a spray by uing a weitable form, or as a dust by using the specially prepared dust ing sulphurs..

A dust known nationally as Massey dust and sold under var ious trade names, combines 9 parts of dusting sulphur to one part of lead arsenate and will take care of lots of rose evils. Recent experiments by the Texas and New York experiment stations have shown that the addition of five to: 15 per cent of a colloidal or inspluable type of copper to dusting sulphur increases the ef fectiveness of sulphur in the con trol of black-spot. .The chief objections to the use of sulphur are the danger of fol iage biirn when temperatures are much lover 90 degrees, and the unsightly appearance of the dust on j the foliage. Vry little burn ha been noted from the use of sulphur, on roses in western Ore gon when the dust is applied pro perly. Sulphur should be applied every ten days starting with the new growth and continuing until late fall. This summer, dusting every five to seven days would have been advisable. As a whole, dusts are easier and quicker , to prepare and apply than sprays. Dusting guns can be had at from around $1.50. to quite a way up the scale. Placing sul phur in cloth bags and shaking these over the bushes is one of the; simplest methods and requires no special equipment if you have no dusting guns available. Garden Calendar V August 21 Dallas Garden club, basket dinner in park with mem bers wearing hats or hair gadgets made from flowers.' September 1 to 7 Flower shoW at Oregon State fair. This will be larger! and better than usual, the committee members told me this week. September 11 Salem Men's Garden club, YMCA. Sept. 12, 13 and 14 Fuchsia show, Portland art museum. Sept. 13-14 Corvallis Rose show. Questions and Answers: A. H. from Salem Heighs sends a sample of grape foliage and asks what Is wrong with it. Ans. While it Was somewhat dry when it reached me, it shows defi nite signs of mildew. Grapes, like roses should be dusted faithfully throughout summer with sulphur dust While it is too late to effect a complete control, some benefit would be derived from, beginning dusting now and keeping it up each five to seven days until the grapes show color. Mrs. . E. R., Salem, asks about propagation of African ' violets. Also about pests bothering them. When to divide. j ; - Ans.: AXrican violets are not the "dividing" kind of plants. In stead take leaf cuttings (usually in March). Pick the leaves at the base of the plant and insert them in pots of sand where they are kept wet. Keep the leaves covered with glass until they, take root and start new plants. They will flow er in about eight months. Healthy growth will usually keep the bugs off the African violets. Place the plant in a light window, protected from direct sun rays. Do not splash water on the leaves or crown. Set the pot in a pan of water and let it absorb the mois ture in that manner. A very misty spray on the foliage once a week is beneficial. Rotenone dust or nicotine sulphate (which is so dif ficult to obtain now) will help keep the bugs off the violet. Martins Return To Aunisvillc AUMSVILLE Mrs. Victor L. Martin and son Victor Larkin Martin jr. have returned from the hospital. Mrs. Eva Bass and son, Darrel of Salem are spending the week with the Martins. Mr; and Mrs. L. D Roberts, jr. and sons Ronnie and Melvin spent the weekend at Roseburg with the L. D.

Current expansion of facilities to meet larger enrollment at Wil lamette university is going considerably farther than construction of the $750,000 Baxter hall on the east end of the campus, according to Robert W. Penix, financial vice president. New classrooms are being added in several sites, both by new construction and by remodeling. They are planned to be ready for the opening of fall semester in late September, or shortly after. Foundation was poured late last week for one of the two former Camp Adair buildings now piled in sections on Sweetland field. To be erected just west of the grand stand, along Mill creek, the pne story structures will serve the art department and band classes. Increase Anticipated With increased enrollment an ticipated in the college of law, as the past year's large freshman class moves up, one large class room is to be prepared in the basement of the law building. A reception office is to be added in the front hall to increase office space for Dean Seward P. Reese. Remodeling of the former band practice room in the basement of Music hall will augment the number of practice rooms by two, and new pianos arc ready for in stallation, said Fenix. Shifting of offices in the base ment of Waller hall will allow ex pansion of the campus book store, now in the north wing, into its former room irr the east wing as well. Office of the Wallulah, school annual, will occupy part of the west wing, formerly used as maintenance shops. A new shop, at the, rear of the gymna sium, was completed earlier this yesr. Infirmary Finished Another building already fin ished is the infirmary, constructed east of the gymnasium out of two war surplus buildings. Work on the large men's dontir itory is still ahead of schedule, said Fenix, and it is still hoped that the campus fraternity and I non-fraternity men will be able to i move in to the total of about 224, ; by the beginning of the spring semester in February.
