He suggested that all of the answers may be obtained in the next three years. Present plans provide for carrying the same treatments through the production cycle including bulblets, yearlings and finally greenhouse performance of commercials. Ralph Clark, horticultural specialist, OSC, recommended the use of more balanced fertilizer, later digging, and irrigation as a means of improving quality and production. He also emphasized the need for reducing production costs. Insect pest control was outlined by Dr. Chas. F. Dousettc, en tomologist from Western Washington experiment station at Puy allup. Following the lily growers meeting, he held a short session with daffodil growers. He recommended fumigation and cooking only when needed, but suggested the use of methyl bromide in stead of other fumigents. The methyl bromide is effective in the control of both fulb flies and mites which eliminates necessity of cooking unless nematodes are present. Attendance included all of the commercial growers from southern Curry and quite a number from the central and northern part of the county. O. P. Ferguson, Robert Bailor.

Merlin Forfeited LILY FERTILIZER TRIALS STUDIED AT Sunday's Game To HARBOR BULB FARM, SATURDAY Brookings Pelicans The Merlin team failed to put in an appearance at the high school diamond, Sunday, for the scheduled game against Brook ings Pelicans. Hank Westbrook was on the mound and Eddie Des- jardin behind the plate when Umpire Don Craig called “play ball’’ at 2 o’clock. With no Mer lin batter appearing to take his “cut’’, Craig declared the game won by the Pelicans by the tech nical score of 9 to 0. The forfeit on the part of Merlin now gives the Pelicans eight wins against one loss. Butte Falls has six wins and two losses, prior to their scheduled game against Glendale, Sunday, and as suming Butte Falls won that game, the Pelicans would be hold ing the lead by only one game. BuHe Falls, the only team to defeat the Pelicans, comes to Brookings next Sunday tor what will be the key game of the sea son. A win for the Pelicans would practically cinch the pennant — while a loss would throw the lo cals into a tie with Butte Falls. Realty Transfers Mr. and Mrs. Guy S.
