Wash furniture once or twice

Excessive water can be harmful
so the cloth should be wrung out.
Wipe all surfaces with a clean
damp cloth, then rub dry.
This soap and water treatment
is recognized as the best means

Do not ride double on one

HORSEBACK TRANSPORTATION Horses provide the natural way to reach the
trout-filled lakes in the mountains that fringe Scott Valley, as there are no major
highways and few logging roads into this primitive area. Also finding an absence of
bridle paths, most tourists engage a guide or wrangler to lead them through the forest
wilderness.
Scott Valley Offers Haven
For Sportsmen And Campers
ETNA City folks who visit
Scott Valley in western Siskiyou
County should not arrive in
rhinestone-studded jeans. A va
cationer in this secluded valley
fringed on its western bounda
ries by the Marble, Salmon, and
Scott Mountains is more a n t
to be handed a curry comb than
a martini.
Fort Jones, one of four vil
lages in me valley, has Scott Val
ley's only motel, but the Scott
Valley Chamber of Commerce
can provide a list of varied ac
commodations ranging from re
sort facilities to pack trips into
primitive areas.
The valley is no place for the
"dude" who wants to ride on
bridle paths and relax in an air
conditioned bar. The Scott Val
ley Chamber of Commerce frank
ly advertises the valley as the
"last non-commercial recreation
al area in California" and ad-
mils tourist accommodations are
limited.
The valley residents are pri
marily cattle ranchers and farm
ers. While they are friendly and
hospitable, they can take a tour
ist or leave him alone.
It is this "soft sell" that leaves
many vacationers enthusiastic
and brings them back year afler
year. Limits of trout and the
largest deer kill of any compar
able area in California are suf
ficient attraclions for the real
sportsman. The spenders of the
tourist dollar in Scott Valley, al
though comparatively few in
number, return to favorite
lakes and primitive areas shep
herded by .guides and wranglers
who often become fast friends.
Scott Valley is almost sur
rounded by national forests and
there arc no major highways into
the Marble, Salmon and Scott
mountains. The Department of
Fish and Game lists over 75
angling lakes in the Salmon and
Scott Mountain areas, and many
more arc available to fisher
men in the Marble Mountain Wil
derness Area.

sites may be obtained at any

said Sanford Wallack, designer
for Basic-Witz.
Interviewed during the Interna

here, Wallack said new designs
for small rooms meet the need
for storage, growing families and
beautiful furniture.
The bright paints and boxy
lines of modern have been dis
carded in favor of softened con
tours, fine cabinet woods and
touches of the traditional in
moldings, inlays and hardware.
The clinical look has been
dropped, even though functional
assets of contemporary have been
preserved, such as built-in neat

specialized compartments for
jewelry, shirts, dividers, and odd
size items like handbags.
The last 10 years also have
given homemakers permanent
collections of furniture so new
pieces can be added as an adap

To get maximum use of rooms,
furniture has climbed walls the

ect is under contract to the KID,
And so now the Klamath Basin
irrigation system, once only
dream in the minds of a few
farmers, has come the full route
to maturity.
The Klamath Irrigation Dis
trict operates 80 miles of main
canal. 135 miles of sub-laterals,
175 miles of open drains and
eight miles of closed drains.
To maintain and operate this
complex system is the full-time
job of 30 persons, including man
ager Ray Roberts and secretary
.John Stewart.
Roberts has been with the dis
trict since 1036 and Stewart has
been with KID since 1945.
The district operates with an
annual budget of about $300,00o!
and is governed by President
.1. R. Ratliff and directors John
A. Marshall and John A. Short
The budget includes payments
to the federal government on the
remaining debt and this will be
paid off by 1970.
With this modern system, the
Klamath Basin farmer is able
to order his water by telephone,
giving only 24 hours notice
At the minute he wants the
water, it will be gushing into his
held ditches.
for this, the farmer pays $5,40
per acre per year, no matter
how much water lie needs. If ihe
has a 100-acre farm, he pays an
annual rate of $340. Users who
pump Ihe water from the canals
themselves pay just half of that
or $2.70.
The KID now serves more than
1,000 farmers in the Basin, irri
gating about 61,000 a.rres of land
with 300.000 acre-feet of water
r year.
Today, the KID has fulfilled the
mission that was begun more
than 50 years ago.
Nearly all of the arable land
in the area is being farmed with
adequate water.
But although there are no plans
for major expansion of the KID

Pruning And Protection Of Trees
Necessary To Keep Them Healthy
By MR. FIX
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Shade trees are valuable, hut
neglect can turn them into noth
ing better than firewood.
Almost every homeowner con
;ive the trees on his property
the attention they deserve. A few
tools will be needed mostly

how. Pruning can be done in the
fall or early spring. Repairing
damaged bark should be done
as quickly as possible.

If you have grass growing
right up to your trees, their sur-
iaccs may be damaged by care
less handling of the mower.
Youngsters sometimes peel off
bark, or young animals may
gnaw on it.
L'se a sharp chisel and a mal
let to cut away the damaged por
tions, l'se the mallet gently.
Don't cut too deep.
Coat Ihe surface with a wound

preparation at most nurseries.

Young trees with a tender bark
are particularly tempting to
small animals, Protect the low
er part of the tree by wrapping
it with a wire mesh. If you ex
tend the mesh about six inches
below the ground you can stop
the animals from burrowing.
Benefits of Pruning
Pruning is necessary for sev
eral reasons: For example, de
cayed or broken limbs are a men
ace and overcrowding growth de
stroys the health of trees.
You can probably prune small
trees yourself and maybe even
the lower portions of larger trees.
For the topping and thinning
of large trees, always call in a
professional arborist.
'Before you do, make certain
the tree isn't the responsibility
of the city, as is otlcn the case
when it is on the tree lawn.)

A smaller tool, the 12 - inch or

push stroke.
A pole saw is similar but is
fixed to the end of long pole. With
it you can remove small limbs
beyond your reach. There are
also pole shears which are
worked by pulling on a long rope.
Lopping shears can handle a limb
