Chavez (D-NMl predicted Wednesday the Senate would reject a new formula for distributing federal rugiiway aid money which he saia wouia favor heavily populated, states. Chavez Is pushing an amend ment to strip the new formula from a pending Senate bill for a iwn.biiiinn dollar, two-year high way program, the biggest In the nation's history. A fight over the proposed new fnrmnla adoDted bv a one-vote margin In the Senate's Public Roads Subcommittee, erupted late Tuesday when Chavez and other senators demanded a rollcall vote on his amendment. . Chavez finally agreed to post Done the vote until Wednesday, al though he would not be here to vote. He said he could not orean a sneaking engagement In New Mexico for Wednesday night but had arraneed to Dair his vote with Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich), who fa vors, the committee formula. The overall program, for. the two years starting July 1, 1955, Is split into four parts: Federal aid for the primary road system, the second ary system, the urban system and the interstate system. The nw formula would apply only to the Interstate system. It would split the 150 million aouars annual contribution for this portion of the program into two, half to be allocated to states under the present system, half on the basis of population alone. The present system uses three criteria to de termine each state s share of fed eral money: area, population and post road mileage. The same three criteria determine a state's share of the overall aid for each of the three other parts of the program. i4. wmm JUNIPER BRANCH rnm To Live With Your House and Garden," was the ad vice of Ed Greene to me juniper Branch of the Evergreen Garden Club. Greene, of The Spray Cen ter, Tulelake,- spoke recently when the club mcl a: tne iairgrounus. Family and activities should de termine how to landscape a yard. Let the kids have a play yard now which can be converted to a patio later on. Keep the plan simple so maintenance Is not a burden, said Greene. One 60 or 60 foot tree Is usually enough for the average city lot. . Fill In with smaller trees and shrubs. Make them frame the house, not dom inate it. Study trees, growth habits, size at maturity, foliage, and twig habits, before planting and it won't be necessary In a few years to lop off the tops. This "lopping off" leaves large areas exposed to the elements and starts decay. Once a beautiful tree is dying It becomes a safety problem. A few of the trees recommended for the Klamath Basin are the Paul Scarlet Hawthorne, Washing ton Hawthorne, which has an usually large red hips, Mountain asn. locusts, apples ana ouier fruits. Even If they don't bear, thev are a nice size for a city lot, are good shade trees, and provide blossoms in the .spring. The native quaking aspen can be transplanted quite successfully If taken from the pumice sous oi upper Klam ath rather than irom tne neavy rockv soils. Shape trees and shrubs by prop er pruning every year Instead of a severe cutting only once every four or live years. Take out the three year old wood every year for '.good clean, well shapM shrubs. Before planting a tr learn what kind of foliage It hai ana aeciae aooui planting ant. thing under it. Under light foliage pracitcaiiy uuyuuug win grow medium foliage phlox or a0 uuiua; ucavy juuagc uuuung. Spray shrubs, feed them veil and, this year, try some of tht trace element plant foods. Then contain all the minor elementi necessary for a healthy plant u4 those which may be lacking tj local sous.
