Oernonia Eagle 12 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1964 A g e n t Suggests Care N o w for G la d io li Now as gladiolus foliage starts to show yellowing is the time to careful ly lift the plants, says Columbia County Agent Tom Zinn. They dry rapidly outside in strong sunshine, or the tops may be clipped off about an inch from the corm and placed in shallow trays and taken inside to dry. Give them good air circulation with warm air up to around 90 degrees. They keep better if dried quickly. When dry, remove old corm and clean. New corms and cormels can be stored when dry in shallow trays giving them a cool, dry location. If any signs of insects appear, dust with DDT. If any fungus is not ed ,dust with Captan, Ferbam or any good fungicidal material, Zinn points out. Remove badly damaged corms.

HE CARED ENOUGH to v isit alm ost every hom e in VERNONIA For rep resen tative, vote 113 X Lawrence Meissner, D eer Island, Oregon Pd. Adv. by Lawrence Meissner, Deer Island, Oregon D eadline Near On NROTC Exam High school seniors and graduates have only until November 20 to ap ply for the Navy’s Reserve Officer Training Corps. Applicants will take the nationwide competitive exami nation on December 12 as the first step toward an appointment as mid shipman. Designed to supplement the officer output of the Naval Academy, the NROTC program makes it possible for a young man to earn a regular commission while studying at one of the 52 civilian colleges which have an NROTC unit. All tuition, fees and books are furnished by the Navy, and the student receives a retainer of $50.00 per month for not more than four years. During the summers the student goes on interesting training cruises to many parts of the world. After completing a four year college course, he is commissioned in the Regular Navy or Marine Corps and goes on active duty as a career offi cer in the Naval Service. He receives the same promotional opportunities, duty assignments and benefits as Naval Academy graduates. High school seniors and graduates who will be at least 17 but not 21 years of age on June 30, 1965 may apply for the Navy College aptitude test. Those who make a qualifying score will be given a thorough physi cal examination in January and Feb ruary, 1965. From the number of qualified young men remaining in competition, approximately 2,000 will be selected to begin their naval ca reers in college next September.
