By MRS. W. P. 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. The answer is largely
one of trial and experience to
determine the class and variety
which will best survive the haz-

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, '

The development of Klamath
E? , 18 ' clsely associated with
the Moore family. William S.
Moore, father of Charles L.
'..Moore and Rufus S. Moore
came over the plains from Illi

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.

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.

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. IIUml r.llfc Or. I'"'"". Mll I, IM,
had to make one In his Instruc
tions to tho Jury.
"If I don't do thai." I"'
"1 would have had lit leavo
out an essential elemeiil of tho
Instructions and, hail tin' Jury
found him guilty, set asldu the
verdict."
"It I had been playing P J';
ties, the last thing In the world
I'd have dime yesterday would
be to dismiss that case, he declared.
