HEMLOCK

NEGLECTED: USEFUL
IN MANY WAYS
POIlTLiAND, Xov. 7. Tho Port
land office of the forest service has
recently published. In co-operation
with "Tho Tlmfoernian," the results
of n study ot western homleck
(Tonga hctcrophylla).
A study of this species was made
in 1900 and tho data published in
tho form of Bulletin 33 of tho for
est scrvico. Tho recent study, made
during the season of 1912, was de
signed to supplement tho Information
gathered In 1900. For a Ions time
western hemlock was classed with
its eastern relative, eastern hem
lock, and looked upon as a "weed"
tree A few progressive, nilllmen,
lidwcver, realized Its worth and did
much toward Its utilization, until
now it is recognized as an excellent
wood and marketed under its own
name.
Tacts Altout Hemlock
Tho recent study has brought out
many interesting facts about tho
treo. Sllviculturally it is a Bhadc-
cndurlng species, reproduces rapidly,
recovers quickly from suppression
and from damage by fire or other in
Jury, and Is a long-lived tree, speci
mens from 400 to 500 years old be
ing common. As a rule mature trees
nro from three to four 'cet In dia
meter at breast height, and under
200 feet in height.
Commercially tho wood has been
found to bo suitable for "boxes,
flooring, interior finish, eash and
door stock, furniture, fixtures,
caskets, co-oporngc stock and pulp
wood." The wood Is fairly strong,
oven grained, and odorless when dry.
It is free from pitch, and does not
absorb moisture sufficiently to make
It swell or warp. Of all tho com
mercial uses to which hemlock has
been put, pulpwood is tho most im
portant, and it Is tho most import
ant species in tho Pncific northwest
for that purpose. In 1911, CS.141
cords of hemlock wero converted
into pulpwood in Washington and
Oregon, which constitutes 48 per
cent of ,tho total amount used.
Xot Cutting Hemlock
According to. the Btudy, "Tho ori
ginal virgin supply of western hem
lock Is Htlll almost Intact." This is
due to tho fact that lumbermen thus
far hnvo been exploiting tho forest
which contained tho largest amount
of Douglas fir und the leaet of west
ern hemlock. However, the records
show a marked increuso in tho use
of this species, the cut ot 90 million
feet in 190S increasing to 102 mil
lion In 1909 nn 24S million in 1910.
The forest servlco would bo glad
to furnish further information to
tlioso who aro particularly Interested.
IT is reported thu I Iho more radical prohibitionists,
flushed with IIhmi triumph of statewide prohibition,
propose to rail A local option election for Mod ford in -lan:
nary in order to make the city dry at once, instead of whit
ing until January 1, 19 Hi, for the state law to go into effect.
Such a movement would be a mistake and be considered
by many a violation of faith, as the prohibitionists secured
many Votes upon their state measure because it provided
fourteen months as a period of readjustment.
Local prohibition would fail, as it would bo unfair both
to the public and to the liquor traffic. It. would cut the
city's revenue in half when it was too late, in the year to
provide other source of revenue, cause a deficiency and
consequent depreciation of municipal securities. It would
upset business and demoralize individual and community
affairs. It would not give the liquor dealer time to reduce
his stock, but mean confiscation.
There is no eavthly excuse for talking local prohibition.
The end of the legalized liquor traffic in Oregon at least
for a time is in sight, and the entire state is to experience
a dry regime. "Whether we like it or not, the people are
determined to give it a fair trial, and the majority is so
great in its favor that it is pvobable the saloon is banished
forever.
"With this certain future, even the most radical prohi
bitionist should be satisfied and be content to let the new
law take its course. Let us hope that by that time condi
tions will have so improved that the loss'of the liquor traf
fic will not be felt.

WASHINGTON, D. C, NoC. 4:
Tuliii bulbs thai nre - exiR-otwl to
brighten the lawn in the early spring
must be planted in lie late fall after
heavy frosts or light freezes hnvo
checked vegetation. On tho fortieth
(uirellel they should bo planted about
the first week in November, and far
ther Muth. n little Inter. These plants
nre adapted to out-of-door culture in
all parls of the United States where
the weather is eold enough to freezo
the soil for a few week- in the winter,
nnd they should he plnluted about a
month before the ground is liable to
freeze up. Other "Holland bulbs"
Rich as the hyacinth nnd nnreisui
should be planted nt the same time ns
the tulip.
The United States department of
agriculture's sroeinlit considers
that tulips are most appropriately
planted nmong shrubbery, where they
may be naturalized or where they
may remain permanently. In general
they nre ueil to advantage in formal
beds or in borders on the, lawn.
The best soil for the tulip is a light
lpntny soil. The soil should he well
drained and sand is better than clay.
In clay soils it Is desirable to set the
bulbs on a layer of sand, to insure
drainage, while in very heavy soils
the sand should completely surround
them. They do best in n rich soil,
but manure should not come in con
tact with the bulbs. It is best applied
to n previous crop. When fertiliza
tion is necessary at tho time of plant
ing, well-rotlrd manure cornnost
should bu used. The soil should be
put in excellent condition.
Tulips should bo set four inches
deep, while hyacinths nnd narcissi
should be set six inches, in all cices
measuring to the bottom of the
bulbs. Cnro should be taken to have
the bulbs of any variety of a uniform
size and to set them at n uniform
depth, ns on this depends unifoimity
in time of blooming.
Ar soon as the surface of the
ground freezes to a depth of two or
tluee inches the bed should be cov
ered with coarse manure to prevent
alternate freezing and thiiwiut; aiid
iIm t prevent the formation of
mots during the winter. As soon as
freezin" weather is over in the
spring the mulch .should be removed,
nt least the coarser part of it.
After blooming, the naturalized
plantings need no further attention
except when replanting becomes nec
essary, wliich in the case of tulips
would be in about three years, mid of
the other bulbs about five. llcihlcil
bulbs should be left as long an pos
sible beforo digging so as to ripen
them. They are rendv when the foli
age begins to die. If necesniirv to
dig before ripe, they will deteriorate
more rnpidlv than if well riH-ned. Af
ter digging, drv in the sun until the
top are well cured, take off all tho
lonu's, More on shallow trays, where
mice and rats will not trouble, till the
following autumn.
Hull'- May lie Italhtil Indoors
Xot old- are tulips and other bulb
ous plants attractive around the
lawn in early spring,- but they are
also most satisfactory for indoor cul
ture during tho winter. They should
bo used in separate pots rather than
in window boxes. Holland bulbs, such
n.s the narcissus, tulip mid hyacinth,
nro practically the only plauts that
will flower satisfactorily in the house
with ordinary care. About tho only
plum giving similar sntisiaction is
the begonia, according to the depart
ment of agriculture' specialist, who
hns cxicrimented with many vari
eties.
Tho essentials for growing bulb1'
indoors nre that they shall become
thoroughly rooted before (he tops nre
permitted to grow. This is done by
planting the bulbs in soil either in
pots or what flfrii-.ts know as "pans,"
which are shallow porcelain jnits, or
in boxes. Thc-c bulbs nru then put
in a cool place in the dark, for a
)Hriod of two to ,i or eight weeks,
or even longer if de-irvd. They should
be left thero until the roots arc well
started. In the case of bulbs planted
in pots, the pots may be inverted nnd
gently tapped, when the bulb und soil
will come out in a mnss. When the
bulbs have been sufficiently long in
the potx the earth in the bottom of
the Mt will be completely covered
with rootlets. The bulbs .should then
be brought into n slightly wanner
place with some light for three or
four days nnd then gradually
brought into greater warmth mid full
tight. During nil the period of growth
the -.'round should be kept moist with
out beinir water-soaked.
Xurcissi take about five weeks to
develop from the time" they nre
brought into full light. Hyacinths
take a longer time nud tulips about
the samo time ns hyacinths. The Ho
man hyacinths come in a little Ics
time, while tho paper white narcissus
only tnkes about four weeks. It is
hard to hold the paper while naicis
sus for lute winter. Tho hyacinths
und tulips are herd to bring into
bloom before February. The various
forms of the yellow narcissus enn bo
brought into bloom from December
until the time for outdoor blooms by
.Martin-; the bulbs curly in the fall
and bringinc them into the light at
intervals of n week or ten davs. For
the earliest bloom it is dcirable to
get the bulbs started in October, und
all of the bulbs should be planted be
fore the middle of November.
Tulips require special care nnd at
tention. It is best to plncu the pots
or pans in a box and cover the whole
pot with nt least two inches addi
tional soil or ashes, and leave then)
there until the bud has pushed clear
above the pot, otherwise the blooms
will ho strangled in attempting to get
out of the bulbs.
Instead of placing in tho cellar,
these pots and boxes may be buried in
Iho open "round, tho pots boinir cov
ered with four inches of soil. In In
caliticrt where Iho ground customar
il" freezes hard, a heavy coating of
in ii a ore should he added us soon as
the tirst crust freezes over tho bulbs.
This laver of manure will prevent
their fieezimr and will permit the
bulbs to be removed to the house from
time to time as needed.
The hyacinth, paper while narcis
sus and especially the Chinese sacred
lily, nre frequently grown in water.
Special glasses for these bulbs may
be purchased in which they may he
successfully grown, or they may be
placed in any nttructivo dish und sup
ported by pebbles. Tho water should
bo kept so that it touches thu bottom
of (he bulb.
