Now that danger of frost is
past. there are many things
which may be done In the gar
den.
1t is time to set out tomatoes.
Do not plant too many. Set the
plants from two to four feet
apart in rows four feet apart.
One of the reasons for such
spacing is to allow room for
cultivation and for picking the
| fruit without bruising the vinss.
Twenty-Five to fifty plants will
yield from four to six bushels
Many small families will use
only a dozen plants. The kind
of season, the number in the
family, and the use made of
the tomatoes will determine the
number of plants required.
There are many varieties to
choose from, among them Chesa-
peake. Rutgers. Improved Gar
den State, Sunray, and many
good hybrids.
Staked tomatoes are more
satisfactory in a small garden.
Drive the stakes in at the time
of planting
Fertilizing Trees, Shrubs
Feed trees and shrubs remem-
bering that a complete fertilizer
provides nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potash. Potash Is the ele-
ment which produces general
! sturdineSs and good roots. Wood
ashes are a good source of
potash.
1t is often necessary to spray
shade trees as we'll as apple
trees for cankerworm. They are
now feeding. Lead arsenate or
DDT may be used.
Rose Care
J 1ACCP Op StCdOy spray pIU-
gram on the roses. Aphids will
soon abound and lot of rain
will produce other troubles.
There are many good materials
on the market, one of the best
is that put out by the Potomac
Rose Society.
Iris Borer Menace
Spray the peonies, delphini-
umS, and try DDT on the iris
for borers, the bane of every iris
| grower.
Gather Tulip Petals
| Now that the tulips have near
ly finished blooming, cut off the
fading blossoms. Do not let the
petals fall to the ground, but
gather them into a paper bag.

precarlous point. We are making

Until we have gathered more in

be wise to make any changes at all

city council does not seem so minded
On one hand the proposal is that merchants do
not like to have stores next to service stations On
the other 1t is pointed out that the vacant areas
have been weed lots for so years. and that legiti-
mate businesses that would pay taxes and service
customers should not be ruled out OF the business
district.
The question remains: Are there comparable
cities that have zoned service stations out Of the
central business district? Junk yards and hide
houses Of course have been.
The coming commission has had three public
hearings Most OF those who have appeared at meet
ings have been individuals who objected to provi-
sions.
Ahead is public hearing called by the city
council on zoning. The date hasn't been set
People who object to coming provisions will be
present.
We hope there is good representation OF folks
who benefit from coming at the meeting. Sensible
coming will certainly make Columbia Falls better

The 1875 Farmers Union MEM

The Farmers Union delegations

limit price support payments to
Individual farmers to the amount

Airline Service

Last weeks Hungry Horse News
had an editorial on airline Serv-
ice" Conclusion was that the
Flathead might have less prestige
but more service il feeder line
like Frontier Airlines landed here
instead of Northwest Airlines who
would like to eliminate this stop,
and manage to land about half the
time.
There was some comment on the
editorial.
1t turns out that several mem
bers OF the Flathead airport board
met with C. A. Myhre, president
of Frontier Airlines in Great Falls
early this winter.
Frontier will not come here il
this is a Northwest Airlines stop.
Frontier would be Interested in
serving the Flathead If Northwest
no longer landed here, and the
logical terminal at Spokane could
be achieved.
To survive as a transcontinental
trunk line, Northwest is getting
larger planes, and while this helps
Northwest coast to coast and met
ropolitan center business, it does
not indicate improved direct serv-
ice for Montana cities.
We believe even more than we
did last week that the Flathead
should investigate feeder airline
possibilities such as Frontier offers
further. The whole case is better
presented in the editorial last
week. MI

Zoning Question

Zoning is not being established in Columbia
Falls to build wall around the city to keep new
residents and businesses out
Rather we see zoning in simple terms. If
man wants to build home in Columbia Falls, he
should find certain sections OF the city where the
only type Of construction allowed in the future will
be homes. with new home shouldn't find
himself sandwiched between garage and grocery
store that start the following year in residential
area.
Refinements Of zoning further provide that
man who erects new six-room residence will not
find himself few months later looking up at
family two-story apartment house next door.
On the other hand community needs apart
nent houses, garages and stores.
Columbia Falls coming commission appointed by
Mayor Benzien and approved by the city council has
worked long hours and done good job.
We especially appreciated the good sense show
ed by the coming commission Monday evening when
they listened to suggestions and modified proposed
regulations.
For example Chef Seymer owns lots near the
depot between Nucleus avenue and First Avenue
East. They had been placed in the business zone
and the regulation apparently had been that resi-
dences would not be allowed in any business loca-
ton.
Seymer pointed out that he had already sold
lots in these blocks for residences and that they did
not have business potentially.
The commission decided to recommend that
residences be allowed in business districts If that
is the desire OF the individual land owner
That makes good sense to us. Zoning is essen
tally set up to protect the residential areas.
Jack Robinson questioned the decision where
all Of his Robindale addition being placed in
residential areas. A sensible revision to place
the highway 40 section OF Robndale in classical
ton where either businesses homes could be
built.
Businesses in this automobile age sometimes
build away from central business districts, and it is
something zoning ordinance should not attempt to
stop.
Causing considerable controversy is the pro-
posed regulation that would not allow any further
service stations in the heart of the business district
Majority of the zoning commission apparently
favors such regulation while majority OF the

Countu- Wide MeetinQs

Taking hold in the Flathead is the idea that a
county wide group of men and women be organized
area
We are already talking about such projects as
the North Fork highway improvement, controversial
Glacier View DAM feasibility study OF Middle Fork
diversion, better u S. No. and 80, and the list
could continue with ideas like junior college or
trade school in Kalispell, better air service en-
couagement OF more specialized agriculture as fits
a valley with limited acres and livestock sales
ring.
The problem is not a shortage Of ideas, but
rather to see il representative group of F1athead
citizens can agree on few worthy projects and
achieve objectives.
The Flathead well knows the benefits OF such
group action. The Flathead Citizens Committee did
outstanding job In helping bring about Hungry
Horse Dam. We tend to take the dam for granted,
and for that matter even the new aluminium plant
that the dam brought this valley. A few years ago
a vote OF one man in congressional committee gave
the needed majority to Hungry Horse Dam
built. Hungry Horse Dam did not come easy.
In existence for comparatively short time was
the Flathead Industrial Council made up of chamber
of commerce and labor representatives. This group
back in 1850 gave the necessary push that resulted
in the west side OF Hungry Horse reservoir road be-
ing built up to log hauling standards.
Energetic publisher w. B. Sweetland OF the
Daily Inter Lake in Kalispel has interested himself
in this need for revived group action in the Flaheao
and that's fine. He is in position of leadership
1t appears that March will see series OF meet
ings.
Furthermore it is realized that to be effective
any new organization that speaks for the Flatheac
should have business labor and farm support
Missed is Don Treloar who last fan left the
Fathead in view OF Mrs. Treloars health. They arr
living in California.
There are still men among us who gave leader
ship during critical years. j. G. Edmiston is well
quainted with problems and difficulties encountered
by the Flathead Citizens Committee which he help
ed organize finance and lead.
Qualifying a Flathead elder statesman il
Publisher G. M. Moss OF the Whitefish Pilot long
time member of the Montana state senate. Senator
Moss is good speaker and is tactful He is goot
choice to preside at meetings that start the bal
rolling in this matter Of countrywide planning.
Citizens of Columbia Falls Hungry Horse Mar
tin City, Coram, West Glacier and the other com
munites should participate.
We should be in the swim to help with project
that will improve the economy of this valley ant
safeguard its heritage. MI

Set Dates or
|'55 Fishinq Season

HELENA - Montana's regular
1855 fishing season will open May
% and close Nov. 80, according to
regulations adopted by the Mon
tana Fish and Game commission.
The overall creel and possession
limit authorized for the season will
be Is fish not to exceed ten pounds
with the provision that not over
ten OF the total catch may be rain
bow and cutthroat and not over
five may be grayling.
This provision has been adopt
ed to restrict the take Of cutthroat
and rainbow, and to encourage the
use OF the more abundant and wary
brown trout, brook trout and other
species.
Twenty Rocky Mountain white
fish will be the creel limit for
1855. This is state wide.
One Of the major changes occurs
In the northwestern counties Of
Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, Mineral
and Sanders. Except for almost all
the lakes which are open the entire
year, the season In these counties
will open June rs As a protection
to the trout which spawn later
In this region. Provision Is made
for the taking Of Bull trout dolly
Varden) from the Blankenshir
bridge to FIathead lake beginning
May 20, 1855.
Where the lakes in this western
area are open to fishing the en-
tire year, an area 300 feet into
the lake from stream mouths will
be closed March / to June Is.
Following the recent findings Of
fisheries biologists which show
that in some areas the fish do not
reach legal size and thus never
become available to the fisherman,
the commission continued to rule
out any size restrictions with the
exception of an 18-inch length
limit on Dolly Warden (bull trout

APGAR-We were very much
interested in some sparrow sized
birds in our cedar trees recently.
AT first we thought they were wild
canaries because some were quite
yellow; then we noticed that there
were red birds about the same size.
They were beautiful and when a
bunch OF them flew into leaf
less cottonwood it looked as though
the trees had suddenly burst into
flower. We looked them up and
We think they are red Crossbills
as the female is yellow, the male
is brick red. We enjoyed watching
them.
We noticed an elderberry bush
out in the cold and snow. It had
buds on it so we brought in a
couple of twigs and put them in
water. Now they have leaves on
them.
