landscaping Projects Cooperative York Provides Ideas, Examples in Area "A beautifully landscaped home." This is a phrase that is 'usually connected with the homes of the well to do, who have enough money for garden ers and elaborate plans built round expensive trees and shrubs. However, Rogue valley resi dents will have an opportunity starting this Wednesday to see that this is not necessarily so. A free landscape clinic, conduct ed by an Oregon State college landscape architect and two lo cal landscape experts and spon sored by the county extension service office will be presented at three places in the valley. The clinic and a lecture on landscaping have been scheduled for Wednesday morning and af ternoon in the Jackson county courthouse. Ben Solberg, asso ciate professor of landscape architecture at Oregon State col lege, will be in charge of the clinic. Others To Aid He will be assisted by Mrs. Fred Lorish, Medf ord, who holds bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon and a master's degree from Harvard university, gained while a stu dent at Smith college, both in landscape architecture. Also aid ing in the clinic will be Chester E. Cory, Ashland, superintend ent of Lithia park and a gradu ate of Oregon State college. In addition, on Thursday the landscape experts will landscape the home of J. D. Rose, 501 Melrose street. Friday they will landscape the home of Samuel B. Smith, Evans Valley. Both projects will start at 1:30 p.m. To Aid Public The clinic, lecture and land scape projects are designed to aid the public in individual prob lems concerning beautification of their yards, according to C. B. Cordy, county agent for horti culture. Interested persons are urged to take part in any or all of these functions, free of charge, he states.

The land scape experts point out that owners of such homes have as much pride of ownership as owners of larger residences, but, particularly in new homes, have such a large portion of their in come invested in paying for their homes that they do not feel they would be Justified in paying for outside help in their landscaping problems. Since 1948, homes have been selected each year to be land scaped by Professor Solberg. Homes are chosen by special committee on a basis of site homes which can be readily seen by other people who may be able to pick up ideas from them are most desirable and on a basis of representative problems. Provides Services The extension service provides the services of a trained land scape architect who draws up the plans, and with the coopera tion of the homeowner, decides where to plant each plant.

The plants must be provided by the homeowner, but he is free to purchase them from any nursery of his choice. The yard layout and planting of shrubs is done at a public meeting and all residents of the community are invited to watch. At the same time, some of the basic landscape principles are discussed. Persons planning to attend the Wednesday clinic and desiring individual help should bring photographs and a scaled draw ing of their home, according to Cordy. He states that this will give the architect a better chance to see what the home owner has in mind and to offer suggestions which will better fill various needs. In First Year In the first year of the pro ject, a lecture was held and the home of Mrs. Ben Gardener, Eagle Point, was landscaped. An other lecture was held in 1949 when it became apparent that lectures alone--were not filling the homeowners' needs. In 1950 five homes were landscaped. At some of these, yards were staked out, but no plants were set. These projects proved effec tive, so in 1951 planning was restricted to' that type of work and three homes were land scaped. They were the Don Bohnert home west of Central Point, the W. S. Lair home, 1016 South Peach street, Medford and l'W?S!p at resenting the um mm ii FA iinniversarv Sonotone 'MM ...the hearing sld S !al a m err a e nun cii-vwilUVI j to protect the ear i from sudden noise!

The flve-dav week will be tried on aa experi mental basts for three months, and union officials nredicted It will be permanent the Dale Williams home, 733 Walker avenue. Ashland. This year it was felt that, in addition to being able to see the landscape architects at work, it would be desirable to allow homeowners an opportunity to discuss Individual problems with them. A recent trip around the val ley showed the value of the land scaping projects. At the Bohnert home, the largest landscaped so far, approximately $85 in shrubs had transformed the house Into what Mrs. Bohnert called "a home with personality." Many Cemaaeuts Mrs. Williams In Ashland re ported that she had many com ments on the appearance of their home since the landscaping pro ject last year. As at other homes, the Williamses are now planning further landscaping in their back yard. Mr. and Mrs. Lair, in Medford, were pleased with the landscap ing project, but were unhappy about the fact that several of their plants had died. The clay soil In the area of their home makes it more difficult to raise shrubs. Perhaps the fairest test of landscaping was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. OUarra, 423 Lit way, Ashland. Land scape work there was done two years ago. Thanks to taking part in the extension service pro gram they now have one of the most distinctive homes- in a neighborhood of new residences. The ideas used at these homes are available to everyone. All they have to do is attend the clinic, or Just look at the land scaped homes. ENJOY YOURSELF and Help a Crippled Child To Help Himself!
