Bopflaftr 115, MarUa Hammond tl, Ken NeUon 157, and
Keith Hay. Hi. TerrUte (am. for any team in th. tat,
let alon. a minor leapt, team of comparatively new bowlers.
Deserving of .ympathy is Keith Hsyes who anchored with
a respectable Mi only to lose high gam. honors to Kea Nel
son's big 257. It should happen to me . . . Wonder what
th. Major leaguers thought as they took th. alley. Im
mediately afterwards? ...
JLonf ignored by the male bowlers in town, th omM
keglers wlU get an opportunity to see one of the finest female
teams in the country strut their stuff here on April 20. Coming
up to bowl In the University Ragtime mixed doubles tournament
will be the Rand's Roundup team from Los Angeles. Paced by
blonde and beauteous LaVern. Haverly and her 200 nlui avrn
the gals hav. been mopping up on some of the better male teams
in tne soumern waitfornla area . . . LaVerne is the gal who
finished fourth in the women's national match game elimina
tions with a very fine aversge. They have asked that some
of the top men bowlers in Salem bowl doubles with them in
the tournament which has the men in town a little worried. Be
embarrassing to shoot a nice series and have a woman beat
yc-u by a lot of sticks.
As we got to press several Salem men are still In first
place In th. .tat. tournament at Hillsboro. John Nnb.r,
. noose man at th. U-Bowl Is In first place In all-events with
177, Pinky Hartwell Is In first place In singles with li,
and the Karr'e Five Old Misers team la In first place in
Class B team event. Looks lik. this msy be a big year for
Salem men In th. annual classic. Most Salem teams will b. '
going down this week-end or next Leading th. parad. will
be Brennan Tree Service from the Capitol Major, Bay ft
Wilma's from th. University Claasie and Salem Iron Works
from th. University Commercial. Whether they win or net,
each man will hav. a big week-end and th. thrill of bowl
ing In th. biggest state claasie sines the first on. was held
in 13.
They say that bowlers never quit the game, they just keep
going until Father Time catches up with them but Salem has
lost a fine bowler due to bad health this year. Don Muelhaupt
who wheeled for Al Bell's Realtors in th. University Mercantile
league has been forced from the game by a bad case of bursitis
in his bowling arm and must give up the game for a year or two.
There wasn't a more enthusiastic bowler in Salem and we will
all miss Don. Wife Beryl will keep the family name going, how
ever, as she is still pitching in the Capitol Major and the Uni
versity Ladies Classic league.
Upholding the name of Salem as one of the better bowling
towns in the state was the Capitol Alleys squad which finished
a solid third in the annual Rose City team sweeper preceding
the Rose City city singles classic in Portland last week-end. Com
posed of Tom Brennan, Larry Oslund, Tony Vittone, Swede
Anderson and Frank Angstad, the gang finished Just behind
Timber Structures of Portland and Cook's U-Drlve of Seattle
who are probably two of the toughest tournament teams in the
entire northwest. Also bowling were Dean Henderson and
Brownie (Wetback) Valdez who finished second in the Doubles
and would have won first had not Max Hillsberry of Seattle
struck out in the last game to win first for he and partner Joe
Razore of the Queen City. Sadly enough, no one from Salem
finished In the money in singles although Pinky Hartwell came
close.
Laugh of the week is on Brownie .VMdes who bonght him
self a new fingertip ball and waa proud of the way he could
"bust out" of splits. He rashly bet Manager Frank Evans
f th. University Bowl that h. would not hav. an l-l split
all night with his new punkln. Sur. enough, no sooner was
th. bet mad. than, wham! a big (-10. Sine, then, he has
fcaen niek-named "Diner".
The entry deadline for the big extravaganza at the Delake
alleys has been extended to February 28 in order to accom
modate the many teams desiring to enter. This is one of the
really big ones on the coast and for a pleasant week-end of
bowling, fishing, golfing, or Just about anything you want to do,
' this has them all beat. Entry blanks can be found in both alleys
here in the city. .
A. of It January the national leaders in bowling are:

Grafting, to most persons,
seems an interesting but intricate
process .It is. however, quite
simple and affords much oppor
tunity for the propagation of
rare woody plants.
What Is grafting? Grafting Is
the bringing together of two
plants for the nuroose of tormina
a union so that they will growl
as one. Why is this advisable?
Grafting is used to creat more
rapid growth of a certaia variety
by attaching it to an established
root system. It permits more than
one variety to be grown a single
plant and premits plants of both
sexes to exist on one root system
thereby Insuring pollination and
resulting fruit. It is also a means
of changing the appearance 01
a plant that may have been
damaged.
Grafting is not difficult if a
simple procedure is followed:
Always graft Just before the
ssp rites in the stock (the plant
with the root system).
Always graft related plants
(graft apple on apple, and so on)
Tools needed are few:
A sharp knife, a hatchet, a
wedge, grafting wax, rubber
bands, a curved saw.
Select your stock (the plant
with rnnt avatem) an thfat the
hpsrt, or branch, to be grafted
is not too small. For a scion ( or
cion) select a twig with three or
four buds. First, let's look at a
cross section of tree and examine
its structure. The outer layer is
bark then comes an inner .bark
(this is the growing bark) then
comes the Cambium, which is
a thin green layer between the
nner bark and the sapwood.
The Cambium is the most im
portant part in grafting so note
carefully. The sapwood de-
velopes from the Cambium and
(Tadually becomes the heart'
wood. This process repeated year
after vear causes the formation
of "rings" by which the ages of
trees are told. The lifeblood of
the tree runs up through the
saDwood.
Having selected your stock
and scions, taper into a very thin
wedge-shaped twig with a sharp
knife. Cut the stock squarely
across. Then with a knife or
hatchet split the stock slightly
holdinc it open with the wedge.
Next insert the scion until the
lowest bud is lust above the
stock. Slant the scion-slightly
outward until the Cambium of
both stock and scion are in con
tact. Then remove the wedge,
The stock will spring back and
hold the scion in place. If not,
tie with rubber bands so that
there will be no binding of the
stock. Then cover the whole
union with grafting wax.
There are several otner types
of grafts that may be made but
this is the simplest method.
When the union "takes" growth
of the scion will be noticeable
in a few weeks. Grafting of most
woody trees and shrubs may be
done now and even up unui
spring, though best results are
had by working early neiore
srowth really starts. Itis really
fun for the novice and it can be
very interesting to have, for
example, seversl different kinds
of apples growing on one tree,
each variety coming on at diffe
rent seasons.
Camellias are often grafted in
order to give quick growth to
rare or alow-growing varieties
because grafting onto an es
tablished root system gives the
new "top" a greater supply of
food. A camellia bush witn
several different colored flowers
is a novelty. I unerstand that
one nursery In Portland has a
camellia with more than 100
varieties to it!
With roses, the method of
n-aftins is called budding. It is
the same principle but tne pro
cedure is different. We will de
scribe it in a future issue.
Grafting should not be done
during or Just before a severe
cold spell. To be successful you
must insure and maintain in
timate contact between the Cam
bium tissue of stock and scion.
Most grafting is done with dor
mant scions, either at that sea
son, usually Jaunary and Feb
ruary, or by keeping scions in
cold storage until plants are
ready to receive them.
So, there you have the basic
method of grafting, why not try
your hand? You can graft good
varieties on seedling stock, for
example. In my own experience
I had very pleasing results by
digging some seedling cherry
trees that had grown up in an
old orchard, transplanting these
to a desired location and letting
them erow to the proper size
for grafting 'about one-inch in
diameter). Then I took scions
from two flowering cherries, a
deep pink and a pale plr.k, and
grafted these to the seedling
stock. I now hsve several
beautiful flowering cherries
st little or no expense. The
same was accomplished by
grafting a flowering plum (Pru-
nus Bleriana) to a seedling
prur.e. It gives a gardener a
sense of pride and accomplish'
ment to display such trees with
"Oh, yes, I grafted those
myself!"
In top-working a tree that has
been damaged by storms, the
grsfting process must be done
gradually. Only graft one limb
at a time. The entire process
may have to be extended over
two or three years but the result
is the saving of all of the effort
that went into the growing of
the stock over a period of years,
Questions
Answered
February Work
For Gardner
By MARK M. TAYLOR
Normally February is an "off'
month for the gardner, but there
is still much can be done. Start
to do anything that will make
spring tasks easier.
Hav you sprayed your trees
and shrubs for scale with a mls
clble oil spray?
Have you painted, sharpened
or repaired your garden tools
and checked your needs along
that line?
Have you ordered your seeds csmeuias. saxafrage, putiy-
plants you hav. always wanted.
February also brings early
flowers. In gardens around and
about you you can find a num
ber of things of Interest that
are now In bloom. Look for
these and others.
Mediterranean Hybrid Heath
ers. Helleborus (Christmas Rose).
Jasmine (Jssmlnlum Nudl
florlum). Yellow blooms on the
bare green steins.
Azalia Mucronulatura (salmon
blooms).
Flowering cherry (Autumnal
lis). Flowering plum. (Bleriana
and Pissardi).
Laurustlnus, forsythla, daph-
Q. When should you take
carnation cuttings? I had such
nice ones last year that I do not
want to lose them. Mrs. P.T,
Ans. Now. Take only from
strong, clean plants using the
lower half of the stem. Pull cut
ting with downward movement
to make a "heel." Dip in root
ing medium and set in sand,
Temperature should be about 80
degrees for best results and
shade from direct sunlight.
These should root in three or
four weeks.
Q. Can any shrubs he rooted
in water? Mrs. T.C.
Ans. Yes, some shrubs, par
ticularly, lend themselves to
this. For example, pussywillow
will put out quite a root system
In water and can then be plant
ed into the ground. I have also
done this with roses with some
success and hydrangeas, Jasmine,
daphney, etc.
Q. Have a skimmia bush
why doesn't it have berries?
Ans. Skimmia is dloeceous,
that is one plant produces pollen
and another berries. To solve
this problem, which will recur,
plant one or two more bushes
so that you will be sure that you
have a polleniier. . ,
Q. What lawn grasses are
advised for shade?" B.N.
Ans. Velvet bent (Agrostls
Canlna) is the finest and most
beautiful turf grass. It spreads
by runners above ground and
by underground rootstocks. It is
a disease resistant and is the
only bent capable of growing
permanently In the shade.
Q. is the saving of begonia
seeds advisable? S.G.
Ans. It is necessary for the
stamens to be pollenized and
this is usually done by hand, so
it is not practicable to try to
save seed.
Q, Will perennials Ho im
this year if started from eed?
Mrs. E.R.
Ans. Some will, but many
will not bloom until next sea
son, but, unlike biennials, they
will not die after blooming. Sow
early to get plants large enough
to withstand next winter's
weather.
Q. When do you plant bien
nal seeds? Mrs. E.R.
Ans. Sow out of doors any
time after weather has settled.
They bloom during the second
year and die. Seedlings from late
sowings should have cold-frame
protection.
Q. How do annuals differ in
sowing seed? L.O.
Ans. Annuals complete their
entire life cycle in one season.
Most of them will bloom from
seed sown in open ground as
soon as weather settles. For
earlv starts and for wider va
riety it is a good idea to startf
seed indoors or in coldframes so
they will reach maturity before
any adverse weather we might
have in the Fall.
Q, What are good companion
plants for tuberous begonias? I
plan to plant them in my flow'
er boxes O.T.
Ans. I would suggest glox
lnia or fuchsias.
Q. Please suggest a low
growing, blue flowered, late
floowing shrub. Mrs. F. B.
Ans. Try Caryopteris (har
and made an Inventory of your
shrubbery and tree platnings
and selected specimens for those
"vacant spots?" .
Be sure to prune roses this
month.
Do not delay these things.
Spring will come soon, then
gsrden activity will be high and
time limited! Check your lawn
mower to see If it is in shape for
tha tasks ahead. Stock up on
plant labels and check your
hose, and sprinklers; replace, if
necessary, or make additions as
may be needed.
Select seeds for your Liberty
Garden and for your annual or
perennial beds. It is often a
good Idea to have your dealer set
those you want aside ss he may
be out of stock when you get
around to buying.
Be sur. to remove any mulch
placed over bulbs as a winter
protection. (Do this by hand
as a rake might injure shoots
that are already starting
through).
Prune shade trees now and
any summer flowering shrubs
such as buddlela, vitex, tamarix
and Pee Gee Hydrangea.
Plant roses now. 1
Plant deciduous trees or move
those you planned to .
If weather permits you can
plow or dig the vegetable gar
den thia month. Then let it lay
until later for further working,
Set out strawberry plants this
month. Trim conlfera by short
enlng the longest new shoots to
the side branches. (Don t Just
shear them.) Set out primrose
willow, violets, andromeda, win
ter iris, narcissus (February
Gold), primroses, lowering
quince.

shrubs are through and has clus
ters of powdery blue, fringed
flowers.
Q. Can trees be grafted now?
M.R.
Ana. Yes (see details on this
page soon).
Q Can trees and shrubs be
started from root cuttings? M.R,
Ans. Some of them. Of the
trees, Allanthus (Tree of Heav
en), Paulownla (Empress Tree),
Aralia and Sumac may be start
ed this way and auch shrubs
as buddleia, Japanese Quince
and lilac.
Q. Will these new soil condi
tioners correct all deficiencies in
the soU?
Ans. No, their man purpose
is to make the soil workable,
water retentive and, thus, more
essily worked and better for
plants to root on. They do not
have a fertilizing effect
Q. I have heard of a so-called
Winter Iris. I would like what
information you have on It.
O.R.
Ans. Iris Ungullaris Is in
bloom now. It is most attractive
when cut while in bud. It will
open after being placed in water.
The blooms are delicate laven
der in color and the foliage is
grass-like in appearance. It may
be planted out now if the grow
er has raised them In pots or
containers. Otherwise it should
be plsnted in Summer in a sun
ny location and watered through
the summer heat.
Q. How should pear trees be
pruned? N.G.
Ans. Pears are borne on
spurs carried by wood that is
two or more years old, so be
cautious with pruning. Prune
tips of branches back only to the
first fruit spur. That should be
sufficient.
. I have a large lilac that
has never bloomed. It there any
thing I can do? N.F.
Ans. Try cutting the roots
by using a tpade encircling the
bush.
Grafting Wood
May Be Stored
Cut and atore grafting wood
now for use later in the spring
is the suggestion of D. L. Ras
mussen, county extentlon agent.
Use of dormant cions result in
more grafts that grow, although
grafting wood may be cut the
same day it is used.
Cions cut now will have to be
stored for several weeks, ex
plains Rasmussen. For apples,
pears prunes and cherries the
best cion wood is one year old
and about the diameter of a lead
pencil. One year old terminal or
tip growth about 12-30 inches
long make the best cions. Ex
perience has shown that peaches
are difficult to graft.
The household refrigerator
wlll provide good atorage for
small bunches of grafting wood.
The cions wood should be label
ed and wrapped In moist paper
towels or newspapers. This bun
die can be enclosed in wax paper
or plastic bags to prevent ex
cessive drying during storage.
Dormant Spraying
Season Shortened
Mild weather during January
will shorten the season for dor
mant sprays on fruit trees and
where soggy ground makes it
difficult to move equipment,
growers may have to eliminate
it entirely, D. L. Rasmussen,
county extension agent reports.
With the exception of peach
trees, other fruit trees canbe
sprayed with liquid lime sulfur
lime sulfur spray is the usual,
dormant strength in this area,
but where scale is the problem,!
a dormant oil emulsion spray
containing not more than four
per cent actual oil may be used.
Rasmussen says that a combi
nation spray that contains three
per cert lime sulfur and two per
cent oil has been used success
fully by many growers. "Dor
mant strength lime sulfur should
not be mixed with dormant
strength oil emulsion or tree
injury will result," Warns
Rasmussen.
