TTt--- L w ,: SL FREEWAY SACRAMENTO (UPI) There wore 2,315 miles of freeways, ex pressways or other multi-land di vided highways either completed or under way on the state highway system at the end of June. ALL LIT UP SACRAMENTO (UPI) - It takes 10,000 electric bulbs, 4,000 flood lights and hundreds of fluorescent tubes to light up the 207-acre Cali fornia State Fair and Exposition grounds here. "GET OFF MY BACK!" That's what cowpoke Jim Bayless seems to be saying after getting the worst of it in his battle with a raging Brahma bull. (Maybe the bull said it first.) Jim was only one of many contestants unseated in the 18th annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo at Colorado Springs. Limber rodeo clowns kept the angry bulls from gor ing the cowboys and the only thing injured was a little pride. Yule Trees Need Pruning For Top Price Pruning and shearing will help grow Christmas trees that bring top prices, advises Gary H. San der, extension forest products mar keting specialist at Oregon State College. The new federal grading system started last year makes it more likely that uniform, high-quality Christmas trees will sell for pre mium prices, Sander said. To .qualify for a premium or U.S. No. 1 rating top grades under the new voluntary grade standards trees need to have compactness of growth and a uniform, symme trical shape. Growing this type of tree usual ly requires some pruning and shearing as trees mature, Sander pointed out. Trees should be pruned and sheared for the first time when they are 2'A to 3 feet high, usually the second or third year after planting. Then, a yearly treatment is needed, up to but not including the year of harvest. Fir and spruce may be pruned and sheared in late summer, fall, or winter, Sander said. Pines should be pruned and sheared from June to mid-July, before new buds form. Pruning calls for removal of Injured or deformed parts, end the top leader is usually cut back to eliminate spindly growth. If there is a double leader, the weaker one should be removed or cut back. Limbs over the rest of the tree should be sheared to encourage new growth buds and bushier, more compact development. The shearing, however, should removt only part of the current year's growth. And be sure and shear the entire tree not just the upper branches Sander said. Shearing only the top branches makes the tree squ.i'ty, too wide and sparse at the bottom. More information on pruning and shearing Christmas trees can be obtained from county extension agents or local foresters, Sanders added. Korczak Ziolkowski Still Chipping Away At Stone; Crazy Horse In Sculpture By MURRAY M. MOLER United Press International CUSTER, S. D. (UPI) If Kor-! czak Ziolkowski (Core-shak Jewel-cuff-ski), now 49, doesn't lose his health or his ambition during the next 20 years, he figures he'll be able to complete man's greatest monument. It will be a gigantic 563-feet high figure of Indian Chief Crazy Horse and his pony, "carved" out of the solid granite of Thunder head Mountain, a few miles north of Custer. During a recent jeep ride up the tortuous trail leading to the top of the mountain, Ziolkowski told United Press International that in 10 years of hard work, he has moved 1,164,000 tons of rock. Thanks to the new jeep trail that permitted him to bring in bet ter drilling and blasting equip ment, the Boston-born sculptor hopes to have 2,000,000 tons off by the end of this year. I figure the whole mountain weighs 18,000,000 tons," he added. "To complete the job, we'll have to cut off one third of the rock a total of 6,000,000 tons. It'll probably take 20 more years. But I'm going to do it." Determination is one of the many things that Ziolkowski has. So he can work on the mountain in the daylight hours, he gets up before dawn to milk more than 100 cows at his dairy. Revenue from the dairy, and a new saw mill, give Ziolkowski money to eat on and provide for his family of seven children. The work on the statue is strict ly a "laboi of love." He feels America owes a debt to its In diansand this is the artist's way of showing his appreciation. Money to hire the two laborers who now help Ziolkowski with his drilling and blasting comes from donations and from fees charged tourists to visit a combined home and studio for a close-up look. A tourist holding a lucky number drawn each afternoon gels to close a switch that touches off the day's dynamite blast high on the moun tain. Unlike nearby Mt. Rushmore, where Ziolkowski worked briefly some years ago, the Crazy Horse statue will be completely "in the round like a bust. At Kushmore, the faces of four presidents arc carved in relief only. As a further tribute to the In dians, the artist hopes that even tually, "probably after I'm gone" a park containing a museum, hospital and the "university of North America" will be created at the base of the statue. Tips On Ridding Patio Of Pests Colored lights, aerosol bombs, and residual sprays can help pre vent night flying insects from be coming a nuisance around back yard patios, picnic areas and home entrances. Robert Every, Oregon State Col lege extension entomologist, says no sure-fire method has been found to eliminate all insects but home owners can take certain measures to reduce insect nuisances. Al though most insects don't bite or sting, they often collect in large swarms, cause discomfort, and sometimes get so thick they "pave" driveways and entrances. No light has yet been developed that repels all insects, he says, but different colored liyhts attract different kinds of insects. Pure white light draws certain moths and beetles. Generally, bright blue and blue-white lights attract the most insects, yellow attracts some, and red seems to be least visible. Residual sprays applied to screens and around windows is another preventative. An aerosol bomb used several times during an evening helps to clear the insects from the air. Every advises per sons who sit outside at night to apply an insect repellent to ex posed arms, legs and face for pro tection against mosquitoes and gnats.
