Notes for the First Part ef August
ft has been hot — with
widely scattered showers.
Some hive been fortunate
in having enough moisture
to keep their lawns green
and shallow-rooted plants
satisfied. On the whole gar-
dens in our area looked
well, and there was enough
color in the better kept gar-
dens.
Crape Myrtles have been
very fine this summer. I
think they deserve even
more consideration in our
gardens. There are few oth-
er plants more admired by
visitors from the northern
states thsn Crape Myrtles.
A lot of midwest gardeners
carry the plants with them
even when advised they
will not grow. They are the
ones who believe in their
“green thumb." Others
want to grow them in tubs.
This can be done by using
dwarf varieties sold under
the name “Petite.” They
come In different colors:
“Petite Embersvery
dwarf, rose red; “Petite Or-
chid,” dwarf, dark orchid;
dwarf, clear pink; “Petite
Snow," dwarf, snow-white
All are very pretty and
should be used where low-
spreading bushes are desir-
able.
Crape Myrtles
I am cure that Southern
gardeners are familiar with
many fine varieties ranging
from white to dark purple
Moat of them form large
bushes. If you want them
to grow like trees, either
they have to be purchas-
ed as standards or trained
to a single stem. It is a chal-
lenge to a keen gardener
to train the young Crape
Myrtle tc have a tree form.
Try it. Some nurseries al-
ready have them as trees,
but their price Is much
higher tha i the untrained
ones. There is still one m*g-
nificent but lender variety,
which can only be grown in
our area in containers and
protected in winter. It is
I- :*'£■ ',’1 *
“Queen’s Crape Myrtle
with very large flcrets. We
grow a few of them in large
pots. Remember that Crape
Myrtles are fairly drouth
resistant, but they bloom
well only when they have
enough moisture. So water
them well. They will have
heavier flower spikes and
continue blooming.
Summer Dangers
Watch Azaleas and Cam-
ellias. They need a lot of
attention now. They are na-
tives of mQd humid clim-
ates and suffer a lot dur-
ing our hot, dry summers.
Water them frequently as
they are shallow rooters.
Watch for White Fly, which
can invade Azaleas and
cause the same problems
as on Gardenias — damage
the foliage tissues and pro-
vide food for ugly black
mold. We found ~ Cygon
spray is quite effective.
Roses in hot weather can
ruin the pleasure of garden-
ing, particularly when
crown in an open hot spot.
The heat and the sun can
and will cook the young
shoots. Keep sprinkling
them during the hottest af-
ternoon hours. It helps a
lot. Watch for Mites as they
breed rapidly In hot d r y_
weather and get easily out
of control.
if you have WaterHIies,
they need frequent feeding.
Black Aphia can cover them
In a short time — Victorias
first of all. Spray with prop-
er spray as toon as you see
the Aphis. It is Chinch bug
time, especially if you have
St Augustine grass in your
lawn. Control them before
they manage to make large
dead patches in your lawns.
Pehnisetum tupreum (Crim-
son Fountain Grass) Is. a
very exotic looking and
beautiful tali grass. The
foliage is blood red and the
gracefully ascending spikes
are purplish crimson — a
much admired summer or-
namental in our Gardens.

Natioifs300,000th M.D.
To Be A Family Doctor’
NORMAN, Okla.,—The na-
tion’s 300,000th physician was grad-
uated from medical school in June
at the University of Oklahoma
School of Medicine.
Jerry Dean Leu, 29. of Alva,
Okla., plans to become a small (own
"family doctor.” First, however, he
will go on for four more years of
internship and residency training in
internal medicine.
Dr. Leu’s graduation marks a
medical milestone—the first time
300,000 physicians have been avail-
able to serve Americans. The num-
ber of M.D.’s in the U S. now is
increasing faster than the general
population. The ratio is better than
one physician for every 680 people,
compared to one for every 737 in
1960:''By. 1975, the AMA estimates,
the ratio will be down to one physi-
cian for every 638 persons.
Even more physicians are needed
to meet- art insatiable demand
medical services, the American
Medical Association says. The in-
crease in demand for medical serv-
ices has come about through a
growing health consciousness on
the part of the public, scientific ad-
vances in medicine, new govern-
ment health programs and the
growth in population, the AMA
pointed out.
Becoming a doctor wasn't easy
for Jerry Leu.
“When I was in high school, I
wanted to go to medical school,
but I had doubts about my ability
and whether I could obtain the

necessary funds," he said.
Dr. Leu said his wife's work and
loans through the AMA’s Educa-
tion and Research Foundation and
the Oklahoma State Medical Asso-
ciation made it possible to obtain
his degree
He was accepted for medical
school in 1962 after graduation
from Northwestern State College,
Alva, and Air Force service as a
medical research technician.
"I want to establish S family-type
practice in a smaller toWn of 15,000
to 30,000 population;” Dr. Leu
said. "Why a family practice? It’s
hard to explain. I want to know my
patients—know them as individuals
and as families."
He plans to take his internship at
the University Hospital, University
of Oklahoma Medical Center.
