Pearcy of Salem, talk ing at the state been growers meeting Friday, said that most ills of plants should be treated before they start rather than tried to be cured later, and the prevention frequently lies in the soil. He suggested replacing more of the minor ' elements that growth takes out of it He also liked to replace fertilizer via or ganic material, arid does this by planting a cover crop, fertilizing this and digging it under. Organic material in the toil cuts down the necessity for irrigation as soil with plenty of humus holds moisture better. . At a recent nut and fruit grow ers society meeting. R. E. Ste phenson, soil scientist at the state college, said that prune trees like other plants require 11 elements coming from the sou. He named these to include nitrogen, phos phorus, sulfur, calcium, potas sium, magnesium. Iron, copper, manganese ; and " boron. He sug gests a complete treatment to avoid the possibility of an un balanced fertilizer program which might fail : to show a response because a . limiting nutrient ele ment has been overlooked. Want Fertilisers. Tagged Both the bean growers and the nut growers passed motions ask ing the state legislature to make it compulsory to give fertilizer contents on a ' tag on each bag. The tag should show, the motions stated, the percentage of the min or elements as well as the major, which is now being done. And members of both organi zations stated that all folk who work with the soil should know something about that soil and its relation to the plants they grow. They should know that neither rhododendrons nor azaleas like lime. They should know that lilacs thrive with applications of bonemeal once a year, preferably applied between the first of Oc tober and the first of March. Peonies grow best with some bonemeal : or potash-containing fertilizer applied in the spring. Garden Calendar Feb. 11 Mt Angel Garden club. Feb. 12 Men's Garden club of Salem, YMCA.

L. writes that last year something skeletonized the foliage on her ornamental plum tree. She wants to know If there Is any winter spraying she can do to control this. Ans.: No, the spraying has to be done' as soon as the slug. known to most gardeners as the rose slug, appears. Spray with lead arsenate, three pounds to 100 gallons of water, or dust wltn one part arsenate of lead to one of sulphur dust. - ' ' :' H. C. asks if sawdust is harm ful Says be has beard a lot f pros and cons on its use in the garden. He has acquired some and now is in doubt whether to burn it or use it among his shrubs. 'Ans.: Sawdust isn't a fertilizer but it serves as a very good mulch. It serves wonderfully in the raspberry patch as well as around azaleas and rhododen drons. Don't make it more than around two inches thick. Put it on now, and in the case of cane fruits, including grapes, a ferti lizer spread on top of the saw dust and permitted to soak in with the spring rains seems very effective. Some gardeners use the sawdust as a mulch in their vege table gardens to save hoeing and then spade it in next fall. If this is done, and the sawdust isn't too old, then more liberal appli cations of nitrogen must be made. JAMES REYNOLDS DIES NEW YORK, Feb. 7-P-James Burton Reynolds, 77, former sec retary of the republican national committee, died today. He was a resident of Washington, D. C. An act of Congress created the post of attorney general of the United States in 1789. Grains Show Some Signs Of Stability CHICAGO, Feb. 7 -OP)- Grains showed some signs of stabilizing on the board of trade today after three sessions of plunging prices. Strength appeared in various fu tures of all grains but was spotty and did not extend into the May contract of anything but oats. At the close wheat was 9 cents lower to 4Vi higher, May $2.50 2.514; com was S cents lower to 1 cent higher. May $2.15H. and oats were 2V-4M higher, May $1.04-1.04 '4. The 9 cent loss in wheat was made by the inactive March con tract May also was lower, but all the new crop months advanc ed. Traders pointed out that these contracts are selling at wide dis counts and it was generally felt the break had carried them close to the potential 1948 loan level. Both May and July corn crash ed the 8-cent daily limit again, making the fourth successive day of limit declines. Brokers said corn has been the weakest grain in the entire decline, and recall ed that it was initial selling in this cereal which touched off the entire collapse Ordinary grain sews was not of much. Importance as a market factor in view of the confused technical market situation. MONDAY'S BROADCASTS Kilocycles: KSLM 1399. KOCO 1499. KOIN 979. KGW C29.

Cr Election Laws Bible to Contain Seating Plan The next edition of the itate election laws will probably con tain a simple form explaining the seating arrangements and gen eral duties of county precinct election boards all through the efforts of Marion County Clerk Harlan Judd. Judd and David O'Hara. state elections clerk, conferred on the proposal late last week. The add ed form will consist of a diagram showing where each election board member should sit around the ballot table in voting places at election time. It will also ex plain briefly the duties of each member. "O'Hara believes the idea a good one," Judd said. 'The new leaf will not appear in the law text in time for this year's elec tion, but will be available for future elections." Numerous inquiries from con fused county election boards dur ing past elections led Judd to the idea of incorporating into the election laws book a simple one page explanation, he said Satur day. One reason for the confu sion, Judd said, is that election board duties are scattered throughout the text In technical phrases. Bidding Slow at Third 'Annual Bred Gilt Sale . (Story also on page 1.)

O Perhaps you hare noticed thaf the prescriptions which your physician writes are usually writ- ten in Latin. No doubt you have i wondered why. Prescriptions are written in Latin because Latin is ''a dead and never-changing, lan- Cuage, universally employed In medical practice A Latin prescription written in America or Eng-' land can be filled in Puerto Rico, Russia, or France, even though the pharmacist may not know a word of English. On the other hand, no matter where your prescriptions may be written, we can fill them promptly and avccurately. That is our specialty. WILLETTS Capilal Dreg Sioro Cor.
