This was the subject matter of one of the lectures heard by mem bers and guests of the Shasta Valley Garden Club, when they gathered at the home of Mrs Rita Pratber in Montague, on Fri day afternoon, April 3, with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Drummond from Grenada as guest speakers. For added color to some of the grass es, Mrs. Drummond described the procedure of placing the stem of the weed or grasses in a vege table dye, removing them when she had achieved the desired color effect. Mrs.' Drummond further described how some of her most successful "wild" arrangements included the use of sage, rabbit brush, field mullen, yarrow, road side grasses, wild oats, wild carrot or parsely, wild mustard, green mosses, milk weed pods, teasle, thistle, and even tumbleweed. Each of these have a certain beauty of their own, and one favorite of Mrs. Drummond is silvered juni per root, which is quite plentiful in the Grenada and Big Springs area. Mrs. Drummond concluded her talk, by saying that one could find so much beauty in nature, studying the curves of a manzani ta bush, the lovely lines to be found in the various grasses, and most important of all, find peace among the wild things of nature. Her talk was followed by one on birds, by her husband Charles, who has written many articles on the subject of "our feathered friends, and has studied their habits, and many characteristics for several years. Drummond stated the first thing to consider if one wished to study birds, and to attract them to one's garden, were two requisites, to furnish food and cover for them, food by planting the flower or shrubs bearing berries for them, and cover provided by leaving a shrub or two in a corner of the garden untrimmed. The most popular and exotic bird to study and bring into the garden is the humming bird. There are three species to be found in Siskiyou County that are extremely colorful. The flowers or shrubs that attract this little fel low include honeysuckle, trum pet vine, larkspur, gladioli, daf fodils, hollyhock, hawthorne, bay bery, elderberry, and many oth ers. Drummond stated that the hummingbird was the one bird that uses more energy than any other, and after having their fill of the . nectar from the flowers, and evening approaches, they go into a state of semi-hibernation Their rate of breathing and heart beat drops, and the bird goes into a torpid state, barely able to move. But as the dawn nears they have stored up enough energy to be up and flying about again. Drummond divided the birds into two categories, the "nice birds such as the common gar den variety of the humming bird, wrens, larks, blue birds, rob ins, thrush, linnets, finches, while the "naughty" birds are the blue jay, crows, and one in particular seems to be more numerous in Siskiyou County, the starling. The starling is best described as a "bob-tailed" blackbird, with the tips of its wings edged in a bright orange gold. They have been flock ing into Siskiyou County and throughout California by the tens of thousands. The starlings, said Drummond, are particularly a nui sance since they congregate in large numbers in and around pub. lie buildings. They infest the fruit orchards, and spoil the fruit. Drummond also told briefly how to prepare for feeding and pro viding food and cover for the birds in the winter. Foods can be placed in the garden or yard, and he listed such items as nuts, grain, raisins, or bird seed as being particularly tempting to the birds. Shelter can be provided by build ing a bird house, but he stressed to construct the little house with natural woods or bark, designed to blend with the surroundings. He advised against the use of bright colored paints, that a bird pre ferred the more natural. He said, "birds like humans take the line of least resistance," and would use a bird house if provided for them. Water was another essential that should be provided, for drink ing and bathing. Bird baths could be made by using a disc from a piece of farm equipment, a wood en bowl, or best of all. a flat rock with a natural declivity. In conclusion, Drummond said, if one was really in earnest m the study of birds, there were two more re quirements, a good book on birds, to help distinguish the different colors and characteristics of each bird, and a pair of low-power bin oculars. Following the lectures, a busi ness session was conducted by the president, Mrs. Henrietta Terwil liger. at which time, Mrs. Alta Coatney, chairman of the nomi nating committee presented the slate of 1959-60 officers as fol lows: Mrs. Henrietta Tcrwilligcr. president; Mrs. Rita Prather, vice president: Mrs. Alta Allan, secre tary treasurer. A unanimous vote was taken, electing all those named. Board Adopts Salary Sked ' DUNSMUIR A salary schedule upgrading teacher's salaries about five per cent was adopted by the Dunsmuir Elementary School board of trustees at its monthly meeting, April 13. Board members also signed con tracts with the Siskiyou County Department of Education for school nursing, audio-visual training and speech therapy. The board approved a revision of the county school's counseling and guidance service. The new program will provide a fulltime counselor for McCloud, Mount Shasta, Weed and Dunsmuir ele mentary schools and ' Dunsmuir High School as compared to the former program of having one counselor serve the county as a wnoie. Salaries and regulations for the summer school program were discussed. Teachers are to recom mend the pupils who can best prof it from the four-week summer school program, the board de cided, and only those enrollees hacked by parental approval of the program will attend. Board members will attend the School Bus Rodeo at Hayward on May 9 to evaluate school buses and possibly decide on the best qualified bus to augment the pres ent school transportation. Harold Baughman and Jack Samuelson, board members, re ported on legislation pending as outlined at the recent school board association conference in Red Bluff which they attended. James the school staff on its housekeep Lambert, fire chief, commended the school staff on its "housekeep ing" in the April safety report. Vork Finished On Controls MONTAGUE District Ranger Lester Clark reports that the Goosenest district of the Klamath Falls Forest has completed its win ter and spring porcupine con trol project. Porcupine control work was done on over 10 thou sand acres of pine stands in the Sharp and Wild Horse Mountain area east of Tennant. Damage surveys showed that the porcupine population had built up to such a large extent that se rious damage was occurring in the second growth stands. If allowed to go uncontrolled, these stands wouio oe ruinea lor sawiog pur poses and 'reduced in value fo that of only cordwood or pulp wood. Porcupine control methods con sist of placing blocks in porcu pine dens and rest trees and hunt ing. The poison blocks are locat ed and placed in such a manner that they do not present any dan ger to deer or livestock. Areas on the Goosenest district where por cupines are a problem are divided ino three parts. One area is treat ed each year and scheduled' for re-treatment every three years. Ranger Clark explained that por cupine control projects of the for est service are not aimed at ex terminating porcupines but only to control their numbers so that damage can be kept to an accept able low level to allow growing continuous crops of saw timber, Bugs Killing Pine Trees YREKA - Supervisor Charles Yates of the Klamath National Forest states thai foresters are predicting large amounts of killing 01 pine trees by the pine engrav- er beetle to occur this season. High temperatures and low pre cipitation last fall and winter are the factors responsible for the in. crease in the population of beetles. Yates explains that conditions are just right for an epidemic of tree killing by the insects. The pine engraver beetle normally kills pines of pole size, but that in epidemic years, large mature trees are also killed. As the bee tles emerge in the spring, -they look for fresh slash to breed in. f He stated that activity of the Douglas fir beetle can also be expected to increase and cause losses in the Douglas fir stands of the Happy Camp and Ukonom districts of the Klamath Forest as a result of the large amount of blowdown that occurred during a wet heavy snow storm this win ter. Woods workers, and especially forest residents concerned about protecting trees on their property, can help to prevent tree losses by keeping green slash cleaned up and promptly disposing of in fested trees by burning the limbs and the bark of the logs. Persons doing any burning, how ever, are cautioned to be very careful with fire in view of the unusual dry weather and are re minded that debris burning per mits are required after April 15. Burning permits can be obtained at offices of Klamath Forest Dis trict Rangers and the State Di vision of Forestry. INSTALLATION DINNER SET DUNSMUIR The Future Teach ers Association of Dunsmuir High School held an installation din ner at the home of its sponsor, Mrs. Elsie Ellington, on the eve ning of April 14.

Maxwell, Siskiyou County farm adviser from Yreka, spoke on insect control when he appeared as guest speak er before members of the Shasta Valley Farm Bureau Women on Saturday afternoon, April 11. The group met at the home of Mrs. Henrietta Terwilliger and her daughter, Mrs. Ellen Walters, in Little Shasta. In his talk on the control of infestation of insects in the home vegetable garden.
