'DIM0ND SPEAKS
 ON '5TATEH00D'
 AT ROTARY MEET

"As Americans with traditions o1 freedom and self-government, il is our duty to demand the fullest measure of self-government," Judge Anthony J. Dimond, speaking on Statehood before the Juneau Rotary Club, said this noon at the Baranot Hotel.
 Tn my mind" Judge Dimond said, "the finest justification for Statehood has been made in the statement that As Americans we can not dare not be for Statehood. !"
 Tt is our duty to demand the greatest possible expression of self government" he added.
 Alaska's former delegate to Con- gress joined several other members of the Statehood Committee now meeting in Juneau as distinguished guests of the Rotary Club.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening introduced the speaker of the day, and also presented to the membership James c. Huffman, former Senator from Ohio, who is vacationing in Ju- neau.
 Delegate to Congress E. L. (Bob) Bartlett. Territorial Legislator Victor c. Rivers and newspaper publishers Bill Baker of Ketch,kan and BoJ Atwood of Anchorage were among Statehood Committee guests.

termination to prevent the advance of the Red flag. We propose to keep the red, white and blue flag flying.
 We cannot help but feel highly critical of the contrast between Congressional action in sending bil- lions to Europe for defense against Communist totalitarianism 4,000 miles from our shores and denying fractional percentage of that amount for home defense. Nor can we fail to emphasize our conviction that were Alaska a state with two United States Senators to help our West Coast and Rocky Mountain neighbors, this situation would never have arisen.
 Alaska would not have been the only part of America invaded by a foreign foe in World War II and would not now be in the humiliat- ing position of seeing our basic defense industries tailspinned into the interior.
 "Alaskans believe in facing the foe, whoever and wherever he may be, and not turning tail and re- treating.
 Count on Alaska to the last ditch for all support that our weak Territorial status will per- nit"

peach or cherry buds is extern
Sive.
There are three types of in
jury that may require action:
fruit bud injury, winter-kll or
dieback, and bark girdling.
Fruit trees, especially peach
and cherry, showing winterkill
to buds should not be pruned un-
til the amount of injury is de-
termined. If lot of buds are
killed, it is a good idea to post
pone pruning until the buds start
to swell. Then prune lightly, II
necessary to save enough buds
to produce a crop.
If winter injury causes the
bark to loosen, it should be tack
ed down as soon as possible to
prevent drying out.
Girdling, either from winter
injury or mice, may require bridge
grating. In that event, it will be
necessary to collect scion wood
before the trees start growing.
Be sure the scion wood is sound.
It can be kept in cold storage
room if protected from drying
out. Or the scions can be wrap
ped in a burlap sack and buried
in the soil.
Bridge grating itself can be
done successfully until tree
growth starts and the bark starts
to slip. If the girdling is over
three inches wide on large trees,
bridges will be necessary, with
the spacing not more than two to
three inches apart.
Young trees, one or two-years
old, which have been girdled
above the ground should be cut
off just below the girdle. This
will allow the tree to sprout and
form a new tree. Care should be
taken that the tree does not
sprout below the graft. Bridge
grating on peaches and apricots
has not proved very successful,
and tree renewal by sprouting
may be the best method Of handl-
ing these trees. Train the strong
est sprout for the new tree.
Detailed directions for build
ing and grating are available In

lar, Budding and Grating" by

Best Way to Attach WirowoIms

is often a good time to take ac-
ton. ~. ~. -~.... .-
Use ethylene dibromide, which
is the most efficient soil fumi-
CANT yet found for the control of
wireworms in irrigated areas.
Ethylene dibromide is a neavy
liquid which, when applied to
the soil, evaporates to form gas
that permeates the soil and is
highly poisonous to wireworms.
The commercial product Is sold
ordinarily in solution with light
soil, and contains either 20 or
400 of ethylene dibromide by
weight. The 20% material is us
ed at the rate of 20 gallons to
the acre and the 400 material
at half the rate, although in ex-
tremely heavy soils the dosage
should be slightly increased.
One thorough, timely applica-
ton, should prevent damage by
wireworms for two seasons. Eth
ylene dibromide, even in diluted
form, is poisonous to man and
animals, and few precautions
should be observed.
Ethylene dibromide retards the
termination Of seed and affects
the newly sprouted seedlings. It
also has adverse effects on some
growing plants. For this reason,
do NOT plant seed, or set rlants
for at least seven to 10 days af-
ter fumigation In the summer,
