MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent for Horticulture
(Editor's note: This is one of
a series of articles on garden
ing subjects, prepared for The
Mail Tribune by the Jackson
county agent for horticulture.
They will be carried weekly
during the gardening season.)
The main crop of bloom on
many of our climbing roses is
now about over, so this would
be a good time to prune them
Some of the climbing roses are
ever-blooming and some of them
have a spring crop of roses and
no more until the next year.
The ever-blooming type
should be pruned during the
dormant season. Those kinds
which bloom only once, as typi
fied by the Paul Scarlet, can be
pruned to advantage now. In
many cases these roses are used
as pillar roses or are trained
over archways. Pruning now not
only improves the appearance
of these bushes but also keeps
them from sending out long new
shoots from the top growth
which snag a person as he walks
by.
In pruning, the old canes
should be removed more or less
completely. Generally, there
will be some new shoots coming
either from near the surface of
the ground or from the lower
parts of these old canes. By cut
ting back the old canes these
new shoots will grow very rap
idly and can be trained over the
arbor or onto the pillar sup
ports. No more pruning should
be done until after blooming
next year.
If the roses have not received
much pruning in the past, they
should be pruned more lightly
as there may be no new shoots
coming from the bottom. In this
case remove the oldest of the
canes and leave two or three of
the younger, more vigorous
canes to flower next spring.
This damp summer has been
very favorable for rose mildew
and those varieties which are
susceptible are now showing a
lot of mildew on the new shoots.
The simplest means of mildew
control is to discard the varieties
which are most susceptible. On
other varieties good mildew con
trol can be obtained by spraying
or dusting at ten-day intervals
throughout the summer with
sulfur. For making up a spray
use a heaping tablespoon of sul
fur to a gallon of water. It
would be well to add to this a
heaping tablespoon of 50 per
cent DDT for thrip control and
a teaspoon of Black Leaf 40 for
aphis control.

Veterans of every war and
major engagement of the United
States since the turn of the cen
tury are now domiciled at Camp
White.
This statement is made pos
sible by the arrival this past
week of Cpl. George W. Lord,
24, of the 31st Infantry, 1st Div
ision, A.U.S. His home is in
Portland.
Lord went to Japan in 1948
and at the outbreak of hostilit
ies was sent to Korea. He was
wounded at Heartbreak Ridge
and has been hospitalized since
then.
Lord is a good soldier.
There is more than usual in
terest at Camp White in the
participation in club activities.
Groups of veterans with similar
interests have banded together
for comparison of ideas or the
promotion of their special hob
by or past-time.
Here is a list in the order of
their formation:
Wheel Chair club, Stamp club;
Bridge club; Fishing club,
Chess and Checkers club and
Contest club.
The first club devoted to a
special interest was the Stamp
club. Stamp collectors gathered
informally and then became or
ganized under the monitorship
of Mrs. R. E. Carley, of Sams
Valley, a volunteer worker who
has selected this particular group
which meets regularly each
Thursday at 10 a.m.
The regular Thursday night
sessions in the Green room of
the Briage club are now an ac
cepted event on the calander.
About a dozen tables are oc
cupied at each of these sessions.
A handful of ardent Isaac
Walton disciples decided to form
a club and now each alternate
Tueday a score or more make
their pilgrimage by bus to the
best fishing waters armed with
complete equipment provided
for them. The Fishing club meets
every other Monday evenings.
Keen interest is also shown
by the chess and checkers play
er in their club meetings.
The newly formed Contest
club met Monday night with a
quiz prize as the attraction. A
seventh club composed of "rock
hounds" is expected to be started :
in the fall. ' - ' i
The schedule of birthday par
ties and sponsors for the sum
mer months has been announced
as follow:
July 9 American Legion '
and auxiliary. Department of
Oregon, Mr. Williams in charge, i
August 13 Disabled Ameri- '
can Veterans and auxiliary, Mrs. I
Lillie in charge.
"September 10 American
Gold Star Mothers, Medford,
Mrs. Roberts in charge. !
"Tick" Malarkey was at Camp
White over the week-end taking
a brief respite from his lookout
over the forests near Ashland.
He says he has made friends
with two deer that browse near
his retreat.
George Eichnor and Don Cir
kot have been collaborating in
extra curricular writing activit
ies for several months. They are
Navy men of the First World
War.
George recently received a
photograph of the Dutch ship he
was on and promises to write
of her UNseaworthy action. Don
tells of weathering a storm in a
heavy sea when a sea anchor
was fashioned to keep the ves
sel headed in the wind.
Truth in some of their ex
periences is even stranger than
fiction, which they prefer to
write.
