EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. April 13. 195 B Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture The commerical orchardists re now in the midst of an in tensive spray season. Many home owners with one or two back yard trees may feel they are neglecting these unless they epray at this time. As home owners and commercial orchard ists have different objectives in view the home owner can omit many of the early season sprays and concentrate on the summer sprays for the control of codling moth and pear psylla, which cause an actual destruction of the crop. A combination of malathion and DDT applied approximately May 15, June 10, July 10 and August 1, would keep pears and apples reasonably free of worms and psylla which are the two most undesirable pests. Brown Rot Control Peach sprays now are for the control of brown rot which is of big importance commerically but need not worry the home owner too much. The principal worry to stone fruit trees now Is the appearance of gum around the base of the trees. This gum results from an infestation of borers. There is no control for these borers now except to dig them out. As they will come out themselves in a matter of about two weeks this process may do more harm than to allow the borers to complete their life cycle. They will again attack the trees in July and August so a strong DDT spray applied to the trunks the 15th of July and the 10th of August would .prevent these from re-entering the trees. This has been a favorable year for the development of bacterial canker on all stone fruits but especially apricots and cherries. As a result many of the apricots fail to bud out normally and the younger growth is covered .with little wads of gum. While this disease will become more apparent as the season develops, there will be no new infections. There is no known control for the disease. Removing diseased branches will improve the looks of the tree so from that standpoint would be desirable. ' Is That So? Tokyo, with JAL For those of you who love flowers in the home, I think I can tell you enough of this day and the man I met to show you why this was one of my most memorable days. And, as a bonus perhaps, how to keep those cut flowers fresh. In company with my companion-guide-translator, Jerry Mitsuhashi, we went with Mrs. Miyoko Yanagita, a talented clothes' designer and artist, to visit her tea-ceremony teacher. Use Tribune Want Ads! Easy, Just Dial 2-6141 The morning started casually enough when on our walk to her teacher's home, I asked her: "What I really want to know is how you Japanese manage to keep your cut flowers looking so fresh, so long." She smothered a soft laugh. "Wait. My master teacher, he can tell us all. . . . "Every ques tion I raised, seemed to end the same way:" ... he can tell us all." And so we stood, stocking footed, in his hallway. As my companions were bowing loj and reverently, I stole a glance at his card which said: "Itsa Tsukida, 13th successor to the orginator of Itsa-an tea cermony, Osaka, Japan." "His ancestor the one who started this kind of tea ceremo ny, died even before Columbus discovered the West Indies," ex pained Jerry. "You'll notice that Mrs. Yanagita, his student, who will supervise the tea pouring, must use that ancestor's gestures all inherited of course in everything she does. . . . And when it comes to the fourth tea, the green frothy one," Jerry in structed, "remember you must take it in exactly three sips with out lowering the bowl. And with much slurping noise, . please, to gratify our host and make him happy." Host Complimented I had my notebook on the tea ready, burning to ask my ques tion on how to keep cut flowers fresh. Jerry explained that no thing so direct can ever be discus sed immediately. So, reluctantly, I turned the talk to Japanese architecture, complimenting my host on the modernity of his home. He bowed with a smile.

I figured that out roughly 200 years before California was admitted to the Union. And during the architec tural discussion, Mrs. Yanagita requested Jerry to tell me: "The master has designed 106 Jap anese teahoust's. . . Also this home." When the conversation turned quite logically to the quiet, se questered garden, Jerry was told to relay: "The master had de signed more than 560 gardens. He has brought much quiet con tentment to many lives. . . " When I admired the tea bowl from which I was loudly slurp ing the fourth kind of tea, all from different containers, and all beautiful, Jerry relayed Mrs. Yanagita's message again: "The master designed all these. On the bottom you will see his mark. He only puts it on those which meet his approval. They are few. . ." When I discussed the painted landscape in the honored niche, Jerry relayed: "The master also paints. . . " And so with the poem in beautiful calligraphy his own. Called for Assorment Finally, after the midmorning tea, after a delicious noontime lunch, after much pleasant con versation, the master called for an assortment of flowers and shrubs which had already been conditioned. Kneeling behind the containers he made and remade a dozen arrangements all with a firm masculine touch," all with a minimum of flowers "although young girs might like more." Only when that was done did I get my burning question across: "Master, how would one prolong the life of the flowers in the con tainers before us to preserve the beauty of your arrangements and young girls might like more." He thanked me, bowed, and Jerry translated: Upon my return to the states, I'll give you readers the master's definite instructions, plant for plant, and help you cut your flower bill in half. But if you're simply busting out all over to know now, then as a starter, would you mind going to your library to look at a small and beautifully designed book, First Aid For Flowers by Mary Reyn olds Babcock (Farrar, Straus & Cudahy, N.Y.C. $2.)

The United Press asked him to summarize his accom plishments in that post. He is return ing to Oregon to campaign for the Republican nomination for U. S. senator. By DOUGLAS McKAY Secretary of Interior Written for United Press Washington (U.R) During the past 39 months it has been my job as Secretary of the In terior to administer the forward looking programs of President Eisenhower for sound develop ment and conservation of our natural resources. We have carried out this task with the firm conviction that it demands a realistic partner ship of all of the American people. We have rejected the alien philosophies which were begin ning to encroach on our conduct of resource matters. The great change in resource policy made by the Eisenhower administration has been to broaden the base,' to interest more people in conservation, to secure the cooperation of the states and municipalities, and to avoid the concentration of the control of our resources in Wash ington. A Few Examples What has this meant in terms of specific programs? Let me give just a few ex amples. We have sponsored the mis sion 66 program for the further development of our national park system. We have inaugurated a vast program of Indian education, putting 14,000 more Indian chil dren in schools than were ever there before. We have sponsored the Upper Colorado Project which will underwrite advances in the upper basin states as vital to those now being provided for California by the Hoover Dam on the Lower Colorado. Under the partnership pro gram, we have opened the door for more hydro-electric develop ment tHan would have been pos sible under an exclusively fed eral program. The partnership program will save the federal taxpayers about $3,000,000,000 in the next ten years in the Pacific Northwest. That sum will be available for other vital resource activities which must be exclusively fed eral. Great Achievement The awakened consciousness of the state governments and local public agencies to the im portance of conservation is in itself a great achievement. Con servation is a job for all of the American people, Including you ( and me as individuals. j This has been our program. ! We think it is broader than ever I before, that it will draw into the conservation field the support j of hundreds of public organiza-j tions which heretofore have look-! ed only to Washington for the : solution of their problems. i Sound resource conservation and development is, of course, a never ending task. But I believe that a good start, based on sound principles, has been made in the past three years under President Eisenhower, and that the outlook for the future is for continued solid progress.

(U.R) Marine Corp officers said today each survivor of the Sunday night march of death will sit in front of the sergeant who led the maneuver and give step by step details of how their six buddies died. Maj. Donald E. Holbe, the court's attorney, said he will call every one of the 72 survivors of the march before a three offi cer court of inquiry. . Each will sit in front of 'SSgt. Matthew C. McKeon and give his account of what happened when the 31-year-old junior drill instructor of the 71st Platoon ordered the men out of barracks and marched them into the tide swollen chilly water of Ribbon creek. Six drowned when they veer ed, at 9 p.m., into a deep hole of the creek. This huge U.S. Marine training depot paid last respects to the dead in Catholic and Protestant services in the base chapel Thursday. Shortly after the services, Maj. Gen. Joseph C. Burger, base commander, told a news confer ence that "we're not going to overlook a thing we want no whitewashing" in the investiga tion. ' Burger reiterated that Mc Keon, an eight-year Marine Corp veteran who was in the Navy during World War II and did duty on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, had no authority either to order the platoon on an unscheduled march or to lead them into water. Miss Kelly Could Lose Citizenship Washington (U.R) A top con gressional expert warned actress Grace Kelly today to walk with care as princess of Monaco. She could lose her American citizen ship. Chairman Francis E. Walter of the House Judiciary subcommit tee on Immigration and Natural ization said in fact he is "not so sure" Grace can retain it anyway. Miss Kelly has said she ex pects to enjoy dual citizenship after her marriage next week to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. U.S. law permits this for Ameri cans who marry foreigners, with certain conditions. "As far as I am concerned, there will be no amendments to the law to deprive her of citizen ship," Walter told United Press. But he -said present law puts two legal traps in her way. The first is the matter of swearing allegiance to a foreign power. If she did that, she would forfeit her status as an American. The second says an American, acquiring dual nationality of a foreign state, loses American citizenship by "accepting, serv ing in, or performing the duties of any office post or employ ment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof . . ." - Walter said this is the one Miss Kelly had better watch out for.
