Flowers Beautiful
In National Park

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
Mont.-Glacier National Parks an
nual display of wildflowers is at
tracing thousands of visitors daily.
The bear grass, official park flow
err, which has been unusually plen-
tiful this season, is fast disappear
ing in the lower elevations, but is
just coming into its prime at the
higher levels, particularly in the
vicinity of Logan Pass.
Mountain heather and Indian
paintbrush, in both red and white
and pink clusters of wild hollyhocks
are appearing in large numbers this
week along park roads and trails.
Other flowers which are to be
seen in the park now, particularly
along Going-to- the-Sun Highway
include yellow arnicas, gallardias OF
brown-eyed susans, blue pentste-
mons, blue harebells, purple aster:
and purple fleabanes in the lower

Cleaning Suckers
and Squow Fish
Out of Lakes

Graham Caldwell. superintendent
of the local fish hatchery, stated
early this week that to date $3.50
pounds of suckers and squawfish
have been taken from Thompson
lakes and 3,l76 pounds of suckers
from Crystal lake. Mr.. Caldwell
says this is an all time record total
which is attributed to the knowl-.
edge of the spawning beds in the
lakes and better trapping methods.
The results of this work may be
readily seen by the improved food
condition, visible in Crystal lake,
and the fact that the suckers are
increasing in size while decreasing
in numbers.
When the white man came to this
country, it is probable that the lakes
were well populated with trout, the
coarse fish population being kept
down by the more active trout
feeding upon the young coarse fish.
As the trout population was re-
duced, the coarse fish naturally in
creased and multiplied to a point
where they monopolized the better
feed and spawning beds.
With this program of coarse fish
eradication, the men at the hatch
cry hope to reduce their prepon-
derance of numbers, and by using
them as feed to plant more bigger
fish, bring back a trout population
that will tend to keep the coarse
fish limited, as was formerly the
case.

No Food
Stamps Before
August |
Starting of New Relief
Plan May Be Even
Later, Says Paul Church.
BUYS ORANGE STAMPS;
GIVEN BLUE STAMPS

The food stamp plan of distrib-
uting relief to the needy is not yet
in operation in Lincoln county and
probably will not be before August
/, and maybe later than that, says
Paul Church, in charge OF relief
work in Lincoln county.
According to Mr.. Church, state
officials are expected here on July
Is to set up the machinery for ad-
ministering the plan. First, mer-
chants have to sign an agreement
to the effect that they will accept
the food stamps in payment for food
commodities. The plan can then
be put in operation.
The amount of assistance extend
ed to any family or to any person
depends, of course, on ones person
al income. Families of low income
will be permitted to buy certain
stipulated amount of the orange
food stamps per month. Then for
each $500 worth of orange food
stamps purchased, they will be Civ
en- $l.0O worth of blue surplus food
stamps. This arrangement is held
within certain minimum and maxi
mum amounts, which varies with
ones income. AS for example,. :
single person with a fairly gooc
monthly income will receive bu'
very little assistance in the way Of
food stamps, either orange or blue
The orange food stamps can bt
used only in purchasing food sup
plies. Purchase of liquors or to
bacco is prohibited. Neither is thu
purchase allowed of hardware O
any other commodity not classed a
food
The blue stamps are to be uses
! IN exchange for certain surplu
foods. A list will be issued eacl
month naming what commoditie
can be purchased with the blu
!, stamps These commodities Wi
vary from month to month /
those counties where the food STAN
plan is In operation, the folloWin
items were purchasable during tn
. month of June: Rasins, pork, porl
lard, cornmeal, she'll eggs, homin
grits, (corn), dry edible beans, drie'
prunes, wheat flour and Who'll
!. wheat (graham) flour, Irish pota
toes, fresh cabbage, fresh sna
beans, fresh oranges, fresh apple:
fresh grapefruit.
J The local relief offices will not b
permitted to give out the foo
stamps, said Mr.. Church. The stamp
will have to be purchased by thos
receiving aid from the state offic
, in Helena. This will necessitat
: quite a large mail order bushes
in food stamps.
The stamps taken in by mei
chants as payment for foods can b
! used by them in paying their bill
to wholesalers.
Mr.. Church said the surpll
commodities stores in the count

$ stores will give out only clothin

Ldr(h Trees
Hit By
Sawf|y Pest
Countless Thousands of
Worms Denuding Trees
OF All Their Needles.
FOREST MEN SAY NO
PERMANENT INJURY

A pest well known to forest serv-
ice men has shown up in the Libby
district this year, in what is be-
lieved to be its first appearance
here, at least for many years. 1t is
what entomologists call the larvae
of the larch sawfly.
The larva is q worm about Ia
inches long, Of q grayish green col
or, with q black head and black
legs. According to Jim Harris, there
are countless millions OF them in
the Thompson Lakes area. Harris
was at his cabin on the lake last
Sunday and reports that every tam
arack tree in that entire area Is
covered with thousands of the
worms. The worms feed on the
tamarack needles and after they
have attacked tree it is stripped
clean of needles-the tree is COM
pletely defoiated.
Mr.. Harris watched the worms at
work and says they crawl to the
outer end of the needle and then
begin eating, working backward
to the branch. 1t doesn't take long
for them to devour needle, he
said. And likewise it doesn't take
long for them to strip tree clean
as every larch and tamarack is
covered with a squirming mass OF
thousands of them. Mr.. Harris took
a walk some distance into the tim
Der to see how widespread the in
festation was and found every tam
arack tree alive with them through
out the area covered by him. The
worms have appeared on some Of
the tamarack trees in Libby.
The forest service says there il
no known way to control the pest
but they are not much concerned
inasmuch as the trees attacked dt
not seem to suffer much damage
Although the trees are completely
defoliated, they put out new croI
OF needles in time, with no ap
parent damage to the tree. Thu
chief trouble coming from the in
festation is one of annoyance. Tht
worms appear IN such counties
masses that they are extremely re
pulsive, says Mr.. Harris.
The life cycle OF the pest begin!
with a fly, which lays its eggs IL
the shoots Of the tree. The egg
hatch into worms. In time tn,
worms develop into cocoons, from
which the fly is in turn Matched
completing the cycle.
A forestry publication on For
est Insects has the following t
say regarding the saWfly:
THE larch sawfly is the mos
important sawfly attacking conf
fers. From time to time it appear
in destructive numbers, defoliatinl
extensive areas of larch or tam
arack in Canada and the northern
part OF the United States. 1t ma.
also attack some other trees an,
shrubs.
The adult is d large, black saw
fly with reddish bands on the alb
domen. When ready to lay her eggs
usually in June or July, the femal
saws a slit in the terminal shoot
OF the larch and places the eggs i
two alternate rows. This causes tn
shoots to curl. The newly hatche
larvae feed on the leaves just be
hind the terminal whorls. As the
grow older they move from on
branch to another, stripping tn
leaves as they CO. The body
greenish, resembling the color c
the underside Of larch leaf; tn
head is round and jet black"
