Fish Trap License Bill Delayed

WASHINGTON (P)-A decision on a bill to license fish traps in Alaskan waters will be delayed until a joint Congressional com mittee can study carefully it's terms.
 Senator Moore R.-OklaO, chair man of the committee, said he did not intend to rush He said he and other members of the committee wanted to study all the testimony.
 A fisherman in the business for 30 years told the committee he could solve what to do with the legislation for them.
 "Toss it overboard," C. Chester Carlton of Cordova, advised the committee. Give it to the deep sea. That is where it belongs"
 The governments control of Alaska came in for sharp ques- tioning by Rep. Preston D.-GaD.
 He asked a witness if it was cor rect the government owned nearly 99 per cent of the land in the Ter ritory.
 When assured the figure was correct Preston said There is no possibility of Alaska succeeding

under statehood unless we get the land out of federal control"
 The witness, A. A. Owen of Ko- diak, a fisherman, said he agreed with Preston and said the interior department, which administe s the Territory, has too much power.
 He said he believed that much of the trouble over aboriginal rights has grown up under en- couragement from department of ficials.
 He said Alaskan Indians don't have to be looked after" because they are educated and amply able to take care of themselves.
 James J. Curry, an attorney, representing the Indians of South east Alaska, filed a statement with the committee in which he argued the present owners of the fish trap sites are not entitled to them.
 First" he said, because the present operators climbed to their present monopolistic ownership by interruptions means, payment of monies to federal officials and their friends and other unsaVory uses of pressure and secondly be- cause they have been repaid their investment many times over"

NEW YORK, (P) - Parents of New York City high school stu dents have protested that a recent state regents history exam was too tough for the youngsters.

 For instance, Hamm explained, if they were asked to name two ancient sports" and replied "An- thony and Cleopatra" they got full credit.

Dems. Confident of ''SOlid South"

WASHINGTON, (P) - Demo- cratic leaders refused to show nervousness about a rising Dixie revolt against the policies of Pres ident Truman.
 They insisted that harsh words from Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina are no sign there is going to be a sort of second secession"
 The solid south may continue to complain about anti-poll tax, anti lynch and no-color-line talk from the White House, they conceded privately, but they said it still will go solidly Democratic when the Presidential election comes in eNo- vember.

is the choice of varieties. Some
lilies are definitely problem children
and should be avoided. Others are
mistakeproof, such as the Regale
and the Tiger. Most gardeners
want to start with these and work
toward the collectors items.
Years ago planted few bulbs
of the Gold-Ban Il. auratum), one
of the most difficult of all. We
were properly thrilled with the
blooms the following spring, but
could not understand why they
failed to come up the second year.
1t is exceedingly difficult to buy
disease free bulbs of this variety.
Even the little Coral lily q. tenu-
folium) must be handled with care,
and even then they are short-lived.
Plant a few seeds each year and
keep them coming.
But there are easier kinds to
grow and those are the ones on
which to concentrate. The Regale
and the various varieties developed
from the Regale are outstanding
for dependability. Planted among
Iperennials or even among the
shrubbery, they can be depended
upon to grow and flower with no
more care than the average peren-
nial. The size and quality OF the
flowers will depend upon the soil
preparation, mulching and cultiva-
ton. Cover the bulbs with at least
inches of soil, more in sandy
situation.
Some Other Suggestions.
A second tough one is the we'll
known native. Turks cap q. su-
perbum), sometimes called the
Swamp lily because it grows in
sandy spots along streams. How
ever, it does not thrive in heavy,
wet soil. 1t likes some shade. prob
ably will tolerate more than any
lily in this area. Plant about 2
inches below the surface.
The Madonna lily. though not
easy to grow, since the bulbs are
subject to basal rot and q botrytis
blight which may destroy foliage,
will do we'll in an airy situation and
in full sun. Planted in a raised
bed approximately 4 inches Is suf-
fcienD, 1t is not so hard to handle
in wet. heavy clays. The bulbs need
only about inches OF soil over
them.
The little coral lily, mentioned
above, is another for shallow plant
ing. 1t is earliest to bloom and so
tiny and graceful that it is uni
versally liked. The bulbs are rather
short Lived but new ones are easily
raised from seed which is freely
produced Give 1t full SUM or sun
for half day.
The tall growing Henry Il. henryD
is dependable, although a bit too
tall for the small garden. Eight to
10 foot plants are not uncommon
Stake up their stalks, often heavily
laden with lemon to orange-yellow
bloom. Plant bulbs to 10 inches
deep. The Henry lily does better in
a heavy soil than most.
OF the summer blooming lilies, l..
speciosum is the favorite of many.
It Is not more exacting in its re-
quirements and its warm colors
make it most desirable for cutting.
There are a number of varieties.
Plant bulbs to 10 inches deep in a
partially sunny situation.

This Week in the Garden

Now is a good time to look owe
the garden and see what can be
cleaned for winter bouquets. Always
there is much to be found in grasses
seed pods, ivies and berried plants
some of which should be harvested
before frost. Along the country
roadside are many lovely things t.
be preferred over artificial material
Don't forget the beautiful bitter
sweet.
It is often possible to save dahlias
and other choice but tender plants
for several weeks by protecting
them from the first frost.
If you have covered them, b.
sure to take of the covering as
early as possible in the morning
to lessen the danger of breaking
down the plants by the weight OF
the wet covers. Very often late
paintings of vegetables can be saved
by sprinkling them with the hose
before the sun gets to them.
If you attended the recent dahlia
shows you were able to select the
varieties you would like to grow
next season. Did you observe the
splendid results obtained by giving
ample water and by pinching of
all but the main bud?
