 In a letter to seven newspaper editors, Mccarthy Friday night repeated charge that J. Russell Wiggins, managing editor of the newspaper, was responsible for publishing a deliberate falsehood about him.
 He referred to an editorial in the Washington Post which said that James A.

VISITORS TO NOME

Visitors this past week were not overjoyed with Boring Sea wea- ther, nevertheless, even though arrivals and departures were de- layed and late, all the visitors were highly pleased with Nome. Special mention was expressed of the hospitality and courteous at tention by local store personnel. Although all the Sunday visitors complained openly of the too short stay here, many asked: "Why didn't we first come to Nome, 7" where store merchandise is exceptionally attractive and lower priced than at other Alas kan stores. This one statement is well worth exploring by all the people of Nome with no excep- ton. Another item of keen in terest was the many requests for small Alaska flags, this demand being based on the fact that only in Nome and on Angelo's bus tour, do they learn interesting facts about the flag and actually see it displayed.
 Other visitors besides the A brought to Nome by Wiens Sun day were MT. and Mrs. Claire w. Grove, Cleveland, O., who are touring Alaska in their own plane. They arrived last Thursday and expect to depart for the Bristol Bay area as soon as the weather clears.
 Arriving Sunday by Alaska Air lines from Uhalakleet were Don Hembre and Dick Landon of Wis consin. They have been making field investigations for an oil corporation from the Alatna River area southwestward to Boring Sea. They said they had enjoyed their mushing and now realize that wild life meat cannot be ex- celled by the canned and cold storage varieties. They are en- route Stateside. Such field investi- gations and explorations as they and others make in Alaska, go a long way to develop the natural resources of Alaska.
 Another visitor of note was MT. Jacques Edouard Chable, man. ager of the Swiss Press Service and special correspondent of the Tribune de Geneve." MT. Chable is highly enthusiastic of all things Alaska, even though some of his journeys have been somewhat dampened and fog -cov- cred, nevertheless he looks for ward to writing interesting stories of his trip for his Swiss country men.
 The Nome Visitors Association finds a written expression of Thanks for the nice welcome at Nome by the IVA" a pleas ing report which should mean a larger harvest of visitors to Nome next year.

Swallows Reap Harvest of Bugs
As Mower Clips the Pasture
By jones BirchfieId

The swallows and I have been
clipping the pastures these last
few days.
That is, I have been clipping,
and the swallows have been fly
ing along with me to catch the
insects that the mower disturbs.
The birds, as graceful in fight
as anything I have ever seen, fly
close overhead and swoop down
over the mower blade to pick up
the insects as they come up out
of the high grass.
I don't understand how the
swallows know when I am about
to clip the pastures. They seem
to associate the sound of the
mower with flying insects, and
come sailing overhead almost as
soon as I begin.
I wonder if one swallow
CHANGED to come along when
the moving began, and then
called the others, and after that
they know that the sound of
the moving machines means a
feast, or if they know by other
means when the bugs begin to
fly.
I have never understood either
how the guineas know that a
grain truck has passed along
the highway. But the guineas
know, and as soon as grain gets
scattered along the road they
are there to pick it up. There
are no guineas in sight, and
then the highway is full OF
them.
The only trouble is that they
don't yet understand traffic, and
the automobiles always take a
few of them. But you can't do
anything about a guinea, once
it has made up it's mind.

It is too bad about honey

a four-foot hedge should be four
inches or more narrower than
the width at the ground if good
leafy growth is to be main
tanned to the bottom.
Now that the foliage of tulips
and hyacinths has begun to yell
low they may be lifted, dried
off, and stored for the summer.
This is a necessary chore be-
cause of the high summer tenn
peratures of our soils. Tulips
can be planted SO deeply Go to
IL inches deep that they will
not need this annual digging.
The hyacinths, however, should
be dug if they are to bloom an
other year. Hyacinths are very
subject to basal rot if left in
the ground.
Daffodils need not be dug and
reset unless they are too thick
for good Towering. Whenever
they produce an abundance of
foliage and few blooms, it is
a sign that they need lifting
and dividing, usually every 4 or
S years. Some varieties will con-
tinue in good bloom for 10 years.
Newly dug daffodils are subject
to basal rot and should be treat
ed to prevent loss. The Wash
ington Daffodil Society recon-
mends dipping the bulbs in Mer-
solite 8-W as a protective meas
ure.
Summer pruning has much to
do with the free Towering of the
Wisteria. Prune it severely to
keep the strong growing runners
within bounds and to induce bud
formation. Most wiSteria vines
tend to throw out trailing shoots
at the ground level, keep them
pruned-they are a nuisance and
unwanted.

Good gardening weather, at
least on week ends, seems to be
a rarity this season. Near record
May rains not only delayed
garden work but also favored
the spread of disease in rose
gardens and made insect control
difficult. Succession paintings.
an essential to continued har-
vests during the growing season,
have been seriously disrupted.
Strawberries ripening in wet
weather rotted before they could
be picked.
Many firm believers in the use
of dusts to control insects and
diseases have turned to sprays
because of their longer-laSting
qualities. A good Sticker mixed
into the spray does increase the
period of effectiveness. There
are several such materials on
the market.
It is not often that the peri
odical cicada attacks shrubs,
but one gardener has rose
branches that were killed by the
egg-laying activities of this in
sect. No doubt there are many
yards where trees are lacking
and the cicada will lay eggs in
the tender young twigs of
shrubs. A daily spraying with
a potent contact insecticide will
stop the damage, if a cloth cover
is impracticable.
The loss of twigs of trees and
the larger shrubs will in most
cases be in the nature of a light
pruning and need not be con-
sidered damage from the work
of the 17-year locusts. It will
take some effort to remove them
before another season rolls
around. but that is about the
extent Of the damage.
The heavy rains have depleted
the nitrogen supply in the soil
and garden plants need supple
mental feeding. A concentrated
nitrogen, such as nitrate of soda
or sulphate of ammonia, may be
used for this purpose. One or
two pounds per 100 square feet
of area should be sufficient.
When a hedge begins to ap-
pear thin, or bare-legged, at the
base. it is sign that the top
is wider than the base. Prune
severely If need be so that the
top does not overhang and shade

Rose thrips are unusually wide
