Nurtured In nock Stephen Lee, who is a sixth grader in Roland Griffith'.; room, set out to prove that plants can be nurtured in rock by using chemical fer tilizers.

Lynn McCallister, a fifth grade student in Howard Lindstrom's room, had as her project the human car, its parts and function. She fash ioned the car from clay, using different colors to represent the different areas. The log consisted of a box, fashioned on the order of a television set, with a manually operated picture roll describing the exhibit. Grades one, two. and three Inaa Munes, pictures, unci dis plays of plant?, animals, outer space, living things, and spring discoveries. In the natural science divi sion, there were such exhibits as methods of weather predic tion, ant life, solar eclipse, a compression chamber, a mini ature oil derrick operated by a steam engine and using black shoe polish as oil, views under a microscope, different methods of communication, and the structure of a volcano. Exhibitas in the biological division included gardens un der glass, kinds of mold, types of blrdlife, animal cells, how the growth of plants is affect ed by different colored lights, and one exhibit answered the question "Can you graft a to mato to a potato?"

The tour recommended by County Horticultural Agent C. B. Cordy starts with Jack sonville, where motorists are advised to turn south on the Old Stage rd. and continue south to Talent, keeping west of the railroad tracks. When ever the route is interrupted by railroad tracks, stay on the west side until approach ing Talent. There, the sightseer should cross and when reaching the Pacific highway continue south for about 100 yards. then take the Valley View or Suncrcst rd. into the Sun crest area across Bear creek. By continuing the drive and keeping east of Bear creek, the motorist will eventually reach the HUtcreat orchard. The largest solid block of pears in the valley is south of Medford from Stewart ave. to the Foothills rd. The Jacksonville-Phoenix rd. cuts through the southern part of this area. But the only way to really travel into the heart of these orchards is by taking private orchard roads and this practice, Cordy point ed out, is frowned upon be cause of the constant danger of getting stuck in orchard mud.
