TAYLOR Capital Journal Special Writer flnp act that nnvnnp ran narfarm that will be remembered and noted with gratitude by the citizens of Inmnrrow is the DUntinp nf a iron This interesting and truthful ob servation was made by my good friend Dr. R. Milton Carleton of rliirnon in the Annuel icon nf IFlower Grower magazine, which lor anyone ijueresiea in irecs, I icaruiy ictuiiiiiiiruu n-auing. . nr.

Carlcton's interest, probably, nurseries Now Big Business The nursery industry, slowly but Surely, is becoming "big business" svilh modern business methods as sveli as advanced nursery pro- tedures, to bring to the purchaser he finest quality of merchandise tit reasonable prices. This advancement in the nursery ndustry is the result of coopera ive efforts and combined capital to develop better research, better fetorage, better handling and bet- aer distribution of nursery prod ucts. .uons, too, nave ucen suc cessful in eliminating the un iscrupulous or fraudulent dealer ;and to inspect advertising for ac curacy of description, fairness of i price, and so on. The average nursery that grows, stores, ships and advertises and sells as father used to do is doom ed for extinction. The process is J inevitable that nursery items will I become standardized and quality J will be associated with standard brands the same as in any other merchandising field. I The American nurserymen I through their association, the American Association of Nursery men, and their affiliates, are to be warmly commended for their effective efforts to improve the nursery business and eliminate t such things as fraudulent or mis- leading advertising, to sot up i standard descriptions of materials . advertised and to strengthen state t and local regulations regarding the handling and distribution of f nursery products. This docs not mean the elimina tion of the specialist. He will still sell what, the larger merchandis ers do not. His will be specialized . known how and top quality in a limited field.' His prices will be high;i comparatively) for he will serve the gardening elite with material unobtainable elsewhere. The nurserymen and seedsmen are to be commended, loo, for their efforts in strengthening quarantine regulations, improving packaging and labeling of their products. stemmed from his acquaintance with the Morton Aborotum, near Chicago, founded by Julius Sterling Morton, the father of Arbor Day. He notes, too, the lack of observ ance of this idea, Hence tils article. We are certainly whole-heartedly in agreement with Dr. Carlcton's sentiments, particularly in view of the destruction of many fine tress in this area in the last few months under the excuse of civic progress. Carleton states that unlike a building which can be erected at a momen'ts notice out of materials assembled at will, maturity and stature in a tree comes only after years of growing. Thus, by plant ing trees today your children and your children's children will be able to walk down tree lined streets tomorrow. His contention is one that should make ' many of those willing to sacrifice trees that have taken years to reach their present stat ure, because of civic development or expansion, stop and think long before removing trees without due consideration being given to re placement, ' . Trees, in the Pacific Northwest, are are greatest heritage and we should look upon them with rev erence. ' Any progressive city should make plans to preserve, as much as humanly possible, the natural beauty of its site. In most cases this means a definite requirement for the control of promiscous tree removal with provisions for re placement when removal is a necessity. If we do not do this, then, someday our cities will be nothing but concrete canyons, hold ing the summer heat and tunneling the winds. When that time arrives it will be too late to rectify a sorry condition for trees cannot be grown overnight. We were pleased to note this spring that the Portland Men's Garden club took the initiative in restoring Arbor Day ceremonies. We remember, some years ago, when school children did the tree planting and we were among them. Today those trees are a majestic 50 feet high and Beautiful at all seasons of the year. It is with a great personal pride to be able to say "I planted that tree!" HEATING TREND Hot water heating systems (or homes are gaining in popularity. The Plumbing and Heating Indus tries Bureau reports a gain of 13.7 per cent in the production of boilers in the past year. Com parative figures for cast iron low pressure heating boilers were 223,129 for 1955 against 196,219 for 1954. A Good Rule for Storage A good rule to remember when considering your storage prob lems is that anything that . fits through your front door can also generally fit through your out' side basement. entrance. The base ment door should be wide enough to permit bulky appliances like food freezers to pass tnrougn. Home Repair Dos-Don ts ' By ANDREW C.

DO . . . mix only as much as you intend to use immediately. since it sets fairly quickly. DO . . . wet surface cracks and small holes with clean water, then apply the patching plaster with a putty knife or your fingers and smooth down the patch with a wet cloth or sponge.

Experts Advise Investigation O f Safety Features of Home By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfcaturcs Writer Let the buyer beware of that .new honeymoon cottage. It might: contain booby traps one rbason it is a good idea to investigate the j safety of a home before moving' in. Test your fireplace by building i a fire and placing both hands on the outer wall of the chimney. If it is not comfortable to the touch, your fireplace might not be in sulated properly. Locate the fuse box in your house. Mark circuits for each fuse. Find out if the house is adequate ly wired before you start loading the circuits with a lot of extra electrical appliances that will re quire plenty of juice. Check to see if stair treads are secure. Remove metal edges from cellar steps if they are the kind that are likely to cause accidents. Replace skiddy surfaces with rubber treads. If cellar steps have no hand rails have some put on at once. It is a good idea too to make sure the cellar light can be switched on from upstairs. If you can possjbly have the door open away from rather than into the cellar another hazard has been overcome. r. 0R..S MAY BE A FAMILY AFFAIR ridjrptlnr, i.oe-i.ek.nr ind a tor mentinir rwUl itch lire often 111 Ul licni oi Pin-Wormi...DRly panuitM that medical expert r Infeit ona out ef trtry thru per oni exnined.
