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.

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. Jerry,

Ringer-Naturalist
who had studied at the Univer
sity of California, Berkeley, ob
served in an aside: "What you
Americans consider modern indoor-outdoor
living, the California-kind,
was used here in Jap
an, 300 years ago." 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

GOAT TRADE
Wakefield, Neb. (U.R) When
Guy Craemer, implement deal
er here, advertised he'd trade
for anything "goats or what
have you" he didn't think any
one would take him literally,
However, Art Doescher, a farm
er, swapped his goat for some
tractor oil filters. Then Craemer
traded the goat for a piano.

Editor's Note: Secretary of Interior
McKay leaves oftice this week after
more than three ears in the Eisen
hower Cabinet. 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.

Marine Marchers
To Face Sergeant
Parris Island, S.C. (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.
