it Is expected there will be nearly
800 varieties, some Of them never
before exhibited in the United
States, and many of them rare.
Also, there will be shown for the
first time a grouping of dollhouse
tulips and iris.
Reception Planned
Sumner is already planning for
reception Of the crowds expected
at the floral exhibition. Work Is
under way on stage settings in the
high school gymnasium, where the
daffodil show will be held, and
prizes viii be awarded for window
displays Of flowers.
Puyallup is also getting busy.
a number of committee meetings
already having been held. This city
this year has the choice of the
festival queen. The city will ex-
tend its golden street decorations
to cover a longer section Of the
route of the parade. Merchants
will dress their premises and win
dows for the occasion.
Plans are being made for the
coronation Of the Daffodil queen
to be held at the Puyallup civic
auditorium March 81 at which
time all valley civic clubs will
meet. Queens of former festivals
have been invited to attend as
have a number of state notables.
500 Acres Planted
While the daffodil industry in
the Puyallup valley is compare
lively young, this is the seventh
annual recognition in the form Of
festival. There are about 500
acres planted in the valley to daft
fodils, over 500 varieties, and
about $4,000, 900 bulbs are planted
annually. This makes a golden
carpet that gives it an appearance
in the spring that has led to the
name of the Golden Valley Of
Daffodils" for this section.
The number of daffodils in
Pierce county are about one-fifth
of those grown in both Washington
and Oregon, which two states pro-
duce about 80 per cent of all daft
fodils in the nation. The mild eli
mate of this section gives a matur-
ing date of at least two weeks
over that of Holland. Growers sell
very little retail. most of their
product going to big wholesalers
east Of the Mississippi river. 1t is
estimated that about 35 cars
year 60 from Pierce county and
valuable car loads they are, too,
for daffodils bring comparatively
high prices.

State Will Not
Be Cut In Two
WAsHINGTON-No attempt Is

WASHINGTON--No attempt Is
planned by the national park serv-
ice to "cut the state Of Washing
ton in two" by the creation Of a
Cascade National park. A. K.
DeMarray, assistant director, de-
clared in hearings on the interior
department bill.
DeMarray said the Washington
planning council and the forest
service have asked for considera-
ton of areas in the Cascades that
may have greater value If estab-
lished as national parks or monu-
ments. There was no idea OF
"state-splitting," he said. as some
people have seemed to think.
Certain primitive areas, he said,
may be of national park suitability
and the national park service
wants to examine these primitive
areas with a view to the possibility
of making them national parks or
monuments.
Rep. Leavy of Washington re-
marked that the Washington ma
tional planning council is opposed
to anything like splitting the
state in two"
