Garden lTlnts ; ' The Garden editor admits lift ing these bodily right out of "Gar den News," published ! by the Men's Garden club of Salem. But they are so full of useable Infor mation that it seemed a shame that the women of the town couldn't get in on them to. The Women's garden clubs have sup plied us with considerable infor mation in times past Here they are, quoted: To test for lime, press a damp ball of earth together, break in half and insert a slip of litmus paper (you can buy it ct" drug stores and seed places) and press back together. After half an hour if the paper turns pink, your soil needs lime, (unless you are grow ing acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas.) For deep shades plant funkia, gentian, Christmas rose, lily-of-the-valley, ruscus, veratrum, tril lium, corydalis, maidenhair fern, ostrich fern. Some! of these do well in the full sun also. For dry places plant androsace, hernia ra, hieracium, Undefolia, phacelia, portulaca, whitlavia, an themus dianthus, deltroides.

Nov. : 1-2 Annual chrysanthe mum show, Masonic temple, Port land. Questions and Answers A. R. S. says she has an Aura- tum lily which she has had for six years and which has never pro duced but one bloom stalk. Wants to know if this is common. Ans.: These lilies need soil rich in humus and free from lime. If these conditions are right, there is no reason why the gold banded lily shouldn't multiply. O. S. says she has had trouble with her trilliums. Says she wa ters them each summer and they come up for Just a couple of years and then die. A friend told her not to water them. She wants to know if the friend is correct or if trilliums are just hard to make grow. Ans.: In answer to the last question first: trilliums grow very easily if they are left alone. I planted one bulb 10 years ago and counted IS blooms last spring. In natural conditions they are not watered during the summer and I water mine; only when I can't avoid it in Irrigating something else. They like a rich soil with plenty of leafmold. The leafmold should not be matted down hea vily or the plants will have diffi culty getting through In spring. Loose, composted leafmold is what they like. M. J. M. wants flower and leaf she mailed me Identified. Ans.: This is an African violet. It grows only Indoors. Open House at Y Draws 100 More than 100 boys from the Salem area attended an "nnn house day" at the local YMCA Saturday, program chairman, John Gardner, announced Satur day, night.

Rain Fails to Daunt 400 Women House-to-House Chest Workers A woman's work is never done. Especially when the annual Salem Community Chest rampaign for funds is in progress, points out Mrs. L. V. Benson who as chairman of the women's division has 400 Salem women canvassing residential areas through Salem for support of the 17 character building and wel fare agencies which rely heavily upon the Community Chest. Despite Friday s downpour and generally bad weather during the week, Mrs. Benson's large force of campaigners had raised nearly half of their $11,000 quota by Fri day noon when the week's latest tally showed their collections at $5,002. Of this partial total some $3,000 had been raised in two day's work. Enthusiastic Response Mrs. Benson reported Saturday that her division responded en thusiastically throughout the week for all the difficulty over weather and arrangements for daytime ba by sitters to keep an eye on the young ones while they hit the pavements. This year's campaign is being aided in the women's di vision by many younger women than formerly, Mrs. Benson ad ded. Call-backs an important fea ture of the chest solicitation in anyone's division already have been made by many of the women workers, Mrs. Benson stated, but many potential givers have yet to be approached personally despite two or three calls at their homes. Call-Backs Recommended Although she continued to urge chest workers to call until they "find theiri party," Mrs. Benson noted that residents who are sel dom at home but who wish to con tribute . to the Community chest need not wait for a worker, but may send in their money to the local chest office at 430 N. Com mercial st One exceptional but gratifying case' brought to Mrs. Benson's at tention by a worker in her divi sion occurred last week when a man beat the worker at his door to her "sales talk" by greeting her with, "You know, I always give $5 to the chest but I've been thinking how much higher prices are this year and have decided to give $10. The chairman of all 12 divisions of the Salem Community Chest campaign for funds have been called to meet at 9 a. m. Monday for a strategy meeting at the chest office, prior to the Monday noon report meeting at Salem Chamber of Commerce. U.S. exports rice, wheat pota toes, beans, apples, steel and lum ber to Cuba.
