MYERS Lakeshore Gardens Nursery The successful growing of or namental trees' and shrubs' in this mountainous altitude of over 4000 feet, and the arid conditions which prevail in this region east of the Cascades pre sents a difficult problem to the home builder in this section of ' the state.

Cotton Clothing Order Scheduled WASHINGTON, April 3 (jPj a government order designated to halt rising prices for cotton doming probably will be issued this week, an OPA official said . today. Samuel Levitties, retiring di rector of the price agency's con--, sumer goods division, made this report at a farewell news con ference but did not elaborate. Other officials who declined . to be named said, however, Eco nomic Stabilizer Chester Bowles may order Secretary of Agricul ture Anderson to issue the regu lation unless Anderson does so voluntarily. Drafted nearly three weeks ago by OPA on Bowles' instruc tions, it would require higher down . payments on cotton sold for later delivery, ' Klamath Given Land For Park Addition (Continued from Page One) .

William S. Moore, father of Charles L. '..Moore and Rufus S. Moore came over the plains from Illi ' nois m 1848 at the age of 19 years and settled in the Wil- -:meue valley. In 1868 he : moy??J to Klamath Agency and In 1870 built a sawmill for the government there. In 1877 Moore constructed a sawmill on the west side of Link river about half way between Link a"?. Upper Klamath lake. ; While this was not the first sawmill in the region it sawed lumber for most of the build s' ?f HnkviIle now Klamath . Falls). This was never a log cabin town. From the first houses were built of lumber obtained at the Moore mill or brought in from other mills. a Serves Community y : Always civic minded, the 'family has served the communi ty in many ways.

A Krause and Dr. E. D. Lamb Bert Stott is park superintend- ards of winter and withstand the dryness of summer. Hardiness of a tree or shrub is usually applied to its ability to withstand cold, but it is also applicable to its ability to with stand heat, poluted air and other adverse conditions. All plants are not hardy in the same way, some may be injured by extreme cold, others by arid conditions due to lack of mois ture in the air and others by alternation of warm spells and periods of freezing, although the cold weather may not be ex treme. This freezing and thawing will frequently cause the kill ing back of tops and even out right killing of plants which would otherwise be hardy in a colder but more even tempera ture. The behavior of Vanhoutte spirea and some of the lilacs in the region around Tulelake is no doubt due to the thawing and freezing in early, spring. The warm days encourage them to start growing, then when the flowers are in bud, a sudden freeze stops the growth which retards the flowering to a de gree that few fully opened flowers are produced. Our experience in planting and growing of various types of evergreens and flowering shrubs and trees for a period of 20 years in Klamath county has furnished much needed infor mation toward the successful planting of landscape and gar den in this variable climate. Manv of the beautiful plants which thrive in the moist low altitude of western Oregon can not survive the severe freeze of a hard winter and the continu ous thawing and freezing which our warm days and cold nights produce. The bright, sun reflect ed from snow-covered ground will sunburn the delicate ten drils of conniferous and the fleshy leave of broadleaf ever greens, causing a discoloration or browning of the evergreens and detracts from their fresh ness of appearance. The discol oration of evergreens is very noticeable in Klamath Falls this year, owing to the unusual winter weather. However, this browning of the leaves is not likely to cause any permanent injury to the hardy evergreens and the plant will recover its brilliant color as soon as the sap begins to flow in the spring. If, however, the leaves and twigs are parched white you may be sure it has suffered a freeze in that portion and will not recover. The best remedy is to shear off the damaged part and round up the plant to look as attractive as possible. When blackened and dead looking leaves and twigs appear on evergreens near the ground it is caused by dogs spraying the lower portions of the plant and.no amount of coddling will cure this damage. It will not only defoliage the limbs hit but .in; some cases entirely kill young small evergreens. It would take thousands of dollars to .replace the evergreens dam aged by dogs each year in this town. The widely advertised "Dogs Off" sprays are not last ing enough for complete protec tion. The most satisfactory nro- tection is to use an attractive low wire netting and fence off the choice evergreens, placing the netting 12 inches from the shrub so that the dogs cannot reach the plants. What to grow in our soil and climate is of supreme impor tance. As to evergreens I would say the arborvitaes, junipers, cedars, spruces, pines and some of the cypress and yews. Among those we have tested and recommend for their beau ty and adaptability to landscape setting are tall varieties: pyra midal ' arborvitae, blue and green cypress, Irish yew and junipers, Irish virgmeana, sco pulorum pathfinder and chand ler. Low and medium varieties include Berkman golden and globe arborvitae, Hovey and Wallina arborvitae, Pfitzer, sa- van and tamanscus junipers. Also a number of the broadleaf evergreens are entirely hardy and lend variety and beauty to the foundation Dlantine and other landscape uses. Some of these are pyracanthia, boxtree, heath, heather, rock daphne, caloneaster and the brooms. For specimen planting use Colorado blue spruce or any of the spruces, cedras deador, fir, pine, Lawson cypress, cedar and English holly.

DA-Judge Tiff Grows Hotter (Continued from Patio One) juvenile court, before Judge Vimdenbcrg, us a delinquent trial on Jiimmry 22, Humble sid, mid there was "no pos sible further crimiiml actum iigiiinst her bvcuusu of her age." He pointed out that Vtuulenbeig deferred a judgment of the de linquonev ease until March 28, nine days after the trial of Mrs. Lusk came into court. The ruling, Humble said, re turned the girl to the custody of her mother. Good Case Of the Dickenson case which yesterdav precipitated the open courthouse fight, the district at torney said that he believed lie had made a good case before the jurv mid that members of the jurv told liin after a di rected verdict stopped the trial thut Dickenson would have been convicted had the ease come to them. "Bnlentine, Dickenson's attor ney, is one of the ablest de fense lawyers in the state," Humble added, "and his joining issue, by putting on testimony was an admission that the pros ecution had made a good case." Judge Vandenberg yesterday handed down a directed verdict of not guilty in the bad check case, contending that Humble had not proved the essential element of the indictment, guilty knowledge that the $77.48 check was bad, on the part of Dickenson. Raps Judge Two more criminal cases arc on the docket, one starting Monday, and Humble stated that he could not legally file an affidavit of prejudice against tint circuit Judge but thnt the Judgo could file an order ex cusing himself from the bench and "his office would bo "glad to draw up the order for hlin." In defense of the court, Van denberg went back to the lieu vol trials when Jmlijo Arlle C. Walker of MeMlnnvillo was on the bench. The district a tor nev, ho said, signed the motions for dismissal of two charges, contributing to the delinquency of a minor und rape, against Kail lleuvel, saying that two indictments Involving similar charges against lleuvel had been unsuccessfully trieu ami that the prosecution was un able to obtain sufficient evi dence to try the other two cases. "Hut." Vandenberg asserted, "no contributing case had been tried and the necessary wit nesses were in Klamath falls and had been brought hero by the prosecution." Visit Witness He mentioned the Lusk case, bringing out that R. F. Mc Laren, on stipulation from the district attorney, anil Mrs. Lusk had been allowed to visit the state's primary witness. Flor ence Lusk, at Hip Juvenile cot Inge the afternoon before the trinl was to start. When that trial broke down over the girl's refusal to testify. Vandenberg believes that n rase could have been made by using other witnesses, but no others were brought Into court. "Cases should be prepared bv the district attorney prior to bringing them Into court B'ul tried In court and not on the street," the ludi'c declared. No Proof Of the Dickenson trial, Van denberg said that the proiccu Hon had not proven tllat Dick enson was guilty and that If no one made a motion (or a directed verdict he would have IIMAI.lt NKW.
