Altamont Junior High News By NANCY NICOL On October 17, a very interest ing talk on the conservation of trees was given by Don Hummel, a forester with Weyerhaeuser Tim ber Company. He showed samples of different kinds of trees and shrubs native to the Klamath Bas in. The seventh and eighth graders will soon be writing essays and poems and doing art work on con servation. This is an annual con test. The theme this year is the "Conservation of Trees" and the information obtained from Mr. Hummel's talk will be very use ful. The second in a series of na tional assemblies was presented Monday. Terry Golden sang spirit uals and Western songs. So far in the football season, the eighth grade has played two games with the KU freshmen, a game with Henley, and a game with Fremont. The seventh grade had a game with the Fremont Midgets.

Korea and from there to Japan believed brought by traveling Buddhist priests about 388 A.D. Later it was to become Japan's national flower. In the 17th cen tury Dutch and British East Indies companies introduced it to Europe. More than a century later success ful propagation was attained in France. In America the chrysan themum appeared quite eariy in colonial gardens. Preparation of the soil for chry santhemums should begin in the fall, she said. Spade a winter bed and leave rough. Cover lightly with peat moss, sawdust, or animal ma. nure. She uses a balanced fertiliz er, nowever, a 10-10-6. Soil testing ph6 is best for chrysanthemums The month of May is the best time for planting. A little should be worked in the soil when me mums are planted but nnnp should be on the roots. Do not over lcrtilize chrysanthemums. Alter about 10 davs the tons should be pinched back on the F.nglish varieties. Disbuddino should be done carefully. It is done with the type of bloom pre ferred. English varieties should be staked and tied twice. Specimens for a flower show should be picked early in the morning. Flaws can be removed successfully if one is careful. The specimens snouia oe unilorm in size and the foliage clean. Put in deep water 12 hours. They will last three days out of water, after wards. Prime blooms do not show the center. Large flowers should be upright. Stems should be 18 to 20 inches long. All shades except the reds will hold their color well for a week. Immature blooms are pref erable to those past their prime. The numerous varieties named and identified which Mrs. Dick brought from her gardens with her were the earlier ones which can successfully be grown locally. Mrs. Dick invited anyone interest ed to visit her gardens which are on Coberg Road in Eugene. ALTURAS GARDEN CLUB By Mrs. Paul Decker A short business session of the Alturas Garden Club preceded a meeting open to the public at the social hall of MUHS on October 16. Plans were made for the win ter activities of the club which include several workshops before the annual Christmas show and sale. ' A small but appreciative audi ence enjoyed the talk and film shown by B. M. Hazeltine, man ager of the Sheldon National An telope Refuge. He presented short history of the refuge which was established by executive or der in 1931 with some 34,000 acres of range, but this was increased in 1936 to 583,000 acres. The ref uge, situated in northwestern Nevada, was named for Charles Sheldon, a great naturalist and was largely through the efforts of Mr. Sheldon that this arid area with its rapidly depleting herds of antelope and other wildlife was brought to the attention ot me nresident. Through wise management, de veloping available water, control ling the number of livestock graz ing on the ranne and dealing with the erosion problem, it is hoped to build up the herds of antelope and saee hens, primarily, ui course, other big game, water fowl and upland game birds have also benefited from the program. A film showing how the refuge is managed was most interesting, as was some closeup photography of wildlife patronizing a new wa terhole which was developed close to a blind built to hide the pho tographer and his camera. Hazeltine presented some amaz inc facts about water, its import ance in daily living, and brought a realization of our responsibil ity in conserving our natural re sources. : , n SEE ffr.Uw ; .-.
