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. They tied 20-20. Another
seventh grade game was played
on "Wednesday afternoon with Roo
sevelt. Altamont' won 34-13.
An assembly was held Wednes
day to inform the students of the
magazine sale. The students will
be out selling these subscriptions
to buy things needed for the
school. The student selling the
most subscriptions will win a prize.
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.
