ing them 1eaving the opening formedl two or three days al
ter the pile is completed.
The pile should begin to heat up within a day or so and
three weeks after it is finished it should be turned as to tho
roughly mix all the material Eight weeks after setting up
the pile it should be turned again and within twelve weeks
the compost should be ready for use. Hard, woody & dry ma
terials will take much longer to breakdown than soft fresh
succulent leaves and weeds. and will also require more wa
ter. If you have the water, the pile should at all times be kept
moist by frequent light s~prinklng, unless the rainfall is just
right to do the job. More frequent turnings may be needed #
it. is seen that the decay is slowing down too much, and to I'M
sure uniform decomposition. The compost is ready to use
when the material has reached a uniform dark color and
texture, with most of the leaves and trash broken down SO
can no longer tell what they originally were.
The process described above is simple and foolproof and
makes excellent use Of waste materials that too often form
unsightly heaps or are simply burned with the resulting
waste of potential humus. However, you will notice that q
lot Of water was called for. The very same results will be OBJ
tanned if the pile is made dry, and rain provides the water,
but it will take much longer, perhaps a whole year. II you
have no water to use, build the pile so it is a few inches
lower in the middle, so the rain will be caught and will
in. Then turn the pile a month or 50 after each heavy
rain You will get just as good compost with no more work,
even though you have to wait longer for 1t. Probably If you
have no water, you need the compost in your garden soil
even more than the man who has a good dam or well.

H COMPOST PILE

Composing is a means of converting vegetable and ami
NAL refuse to Well-rotted organic matter that can be safely
used in large quantities as a soil conditioner. This is done
by piing up the material in a way to help it decay quickly
The pile should be located near a source of water. if you have
one, and as close to the garden as possible. In dry areas or
during the dry season, the pile should be made up IN a shall.
low pit so as to- make better use of available moisture. The
pile should be not less than S feet x 5 feet x 5 feet and no
pile should be higher than S feet or wider than II feet. The
length however, may be whatsoever is needed to take care
Of the material available. The pile may be laid up layer by
layer over a period of several days or all at once if all the
material is available. A pile 10 x 10 x 5 feet will produce
about four tons of compost. This is enough for the average
size garden. The procedure and materials needed to make up
this pile follows:
"a Make up a layer of plant and other refuse dead leaves,
clippings from the lawn weeds, kitchen wastes that are
free from fat, etc. Each layer should be 6 to 10 inches
deep and 10 feet wide by 10 feet long. i
() On top Of this first layer place a twoinch layer of
pen manure, as fresh as possible. The fresh manure may
be substituted by any Of the common mixed fertilizers
(12-6-8 for example) at the rate Of two pounds per
square foot layer of plant refuse. Two pounds for each
layer of plant refuse will be required in this pile if fer
tilizer is used.
C) Next, sprinkle a thin layer (about an inch) Of mari soil
over the manure or fertilizer.
"a Place a thin layer of good garden soil on top of this,
and if water is available, moisten the resulting CONF
posite layer evenly and thoroughly.
The pile is built up to a height of five feet repeating
steps to 4. Then it is covered with a two-ineh layer Of soil
and finally capped with a six-inch layer of trash Straw !,
Then, If you have water. the whole pile should be wet down.
evenly and thoroughly.
Good ventilation is essential to the proper functioningl
of the compost pile, so do not pack the layers down. AddiI
tional ventilation must be provided by placing at least three
fiveinch diameter posts down the middle of the pile { in an
upright positionl while the pile is being built up and remov-

Chamber Hears Report
By Calvin On CAB
StateS-Alaska Hearing

Larry Calvin gave brief re-
port at the Chamber meeting yes
terday on his trip to the CAB AL
aska hearing held in Washington,
DC.
Outstanding in the report was
the protest of the Chamber,
through Calvin, for the merchants
of Nome opposing a request by
Wien Airlines for the Pan Ameri-
can Anyways to give up their di-
rect Seattle-Nome flight.
Calvin stressed that this direct
flight was most important for
perishables and other needed
freight which does not improve
with rehandling and costly lay
overs in Fairbanks. He urged the
CAB to deny this request.
George Goshaw also called the
Chambers attention to the fact
that the CAB had Disseminated
against the townspeople of this
area last summer by permitting
a special, low, roundtrip rate
from Anchorage to Nome and re-
turn but denying the same low
rate from Nome to Anchorage and
return.
Guests of the Chamber were
DR.. Charles Anderson, Rev. R.
Amundson and Rev. Don Bruck-
ner.
