so Japanese Fishermen
Released by Russians
From Captivity in Siberia

WAKKANAI, Hokkaido, Japan,
R-Fifty Japanese fishermen re-
turned here today after a month
of captivity in Siberia and said
that the Russian authorities were
''harsh on shippers, but not on
crewmen."
They said the captains of the
five cod-fishing boats captured
near the Siberian coast last month
were convicted of violation of
territorial waters and unlicensed
fishing" The five shippers, SEN
fenced to prison for 18 months to
3 years, are still held in Siberia.
The five boats and more than
10000 pounds of cod were seized.
Hoshitaro Saito, chief mate,
said the shippers were whisked
away as soon as the boats were
taken to Ernei "but. Russian sail
ors and. civilians were friendly to
us crewmen during our detention"

spring, just so he can imagine
what they will look like come
summer.
Not a bad practice, he said
because any good farmer should
spend a part of his time dream
ing about the future of his land
In this way he makes plans.
| I tried out his plan, and had
a lot of fun. I could see rich
green grass back where the
waist-high weeds are standing
and alfalfa over in the pine
thicket, and heavy hay meadow
down in front. And I added a
bit here and there. Back in the
pasture that was heavy with
clover. I put a few white-faced
cattle. I didn't want to get the
picture out Of balance, and, as
anybody will tell you. all that
grass and no cattle is not good
And after I had gotten all
those cattle grazing away. I had
to put in some fences to keep
them in the right place. So,
when I got through I had one
of the prettiest little places you
ever saw.
But about that time, a cloud
passed over the sun and blotted
out my picture. There. instead
of all the riches were the weeds
and the pines. minus the cattle
and the fences.
And, of course. I had to realize
again that there is plenty OF
work between a dream and
reality.
Wind plays strange pranks,
During a recent blow from the
south, it took a batch of shingles
off the north roof and blew a
limb off of the OILY tree that
was in q nrotpcted y1loce

diameter. This variety is suscep-
tible to cedar-apple rust. It
blooms later than most varieties.
Hawthorns
The hawthorns are dense.
twiggy, small trees with thorns.
They are useful for hedges and
barriers, and under some circum-
stances may be used for specimen
ornamentals. But the hazards
of the strong sharp thorns reduce
their usefulness in some places.
The clusters of small, white or
pink flowers, the bright red or
yellowish-red fruits, and the
glossy green foliage of some
varieties are meritorious charac-
teristics.
The Washington hawthorn.
which has white flowers, is re-
sistant to rust and is considered
one Of the best varieties. Among
others Of merit are the Arnold,
the Lavalle, and the Cockspur
thorn. Paul's Scarlet is a double,
scarlet f1owered variety of the
English hawthorn (Crataegus
oxyacantha).
MimOsa
The mimosa (Albizzia julibris-
SIM is priced for its flowers and
lacy foliage. It grows well in
Washington, D. c.. and vicinity.
The light red-to-pink flowers of
this imported tree open consecu-
lively in summer and thus keep
1t in bloom for several weeks.
The tree develops a f1attened,
widespread crown. 1t may reach
IS feet in height. but trees 20
feet in height are more common
in the area. Mimosa withstandS
transplanting, but may be slow
in starting vigorous growth. 1t
is among the last of the trees to
expand its leaves.
Mimosa wilt, disease that
has killed thousands of the trees
in the South. has not spread
rapidly in Washington; but the
imported mimosa webworm is
causing concern. Wilt-resistant
selections of mimosa we're dis
covered by scientists of the De-
partment of Agriculture and re-
leased to nurserymen for propa-
cation.
Towering Cherry
The Towering Japanese cherry
Is we'll known here. Among varie-
ties with single flowers that are
adapted to this area are Yoshino
and Akebono, which may be seen
around the Tidal Basin. The
double flowered variety. Kwan-

later turn straw-colored. The
gorgeous red, orange and gold
colors of the leaves in autumn
give it double value.
Red naples cast a lighter
shade than Norway naples
which cast such heavy shade
that it is often difficult to keep
a lawn under them.
Another maple that should be
used more is the Amur maple
Acer ginnala. This small tree
reaches a height of about 20
feet. The leaves are about three
inches long. green in summer
and bright red in autumn. 1t is

1t won't be long now until the
meadow cress will make its first
appearance, thus providing an
early spring tonic for the cress

the fields with their long knives
and willow baskets.
Meadow cress is all right. If
you haven't anything better.
But. for me. I prefer the water
variety any old day.

thus water cress does not grow

like it just as is. but most
will prefer touch of oil dress
ing and perhaps, if they aren' t
true cress eaters, an admixture
of other greens.
But for a real spring treat,
try a water cress omelet. It's
the easiest and best omelet there
is All you have to do is make
the omelet, and fold between it
a good-sized bowl of water cress.
Then you'll really have a taste

Unusual Flowering Trees
/ For those who wish an un-
usual Towering tree. the gold
Ienrain-tree (Koelreuteria pani-
Iculata) is recommended. This
native of China, Korea and ia
Ipan-which was brought into
this country in l763-forms a
rather fiat-topped tree up to 80
feet in height. The conspicuous
yellow flowers are produced in
clusters in early summer. The
fruits are light brown. bladder
like pods. Then there is the
Japanese pagodatree. or Chinese
scholartree (Sophora japonica)
which also produces its white.
clustered flowers in summer. 1t
lis native in China and Korea,
and was brought into the United
States in 1747. The Sophora
has a rather rounded, wide
branching top. 1t withstands
city conditions. The yellowish
Ito brownish pods. which contain
the seeds, frequently remain on
the trees most of the winter.
They can be messy on sidewalks.
Thornless Honeylocust
The thornless honeylocust is
receiving much attention now as
q possible substitute for the
American elm. Thornless honey
locust is a selection Of Gleditsia
Itriacanthos, which usually has
large, stiff, sharp thornS. The
compound leaves of the honey
locust, which expand late in
spring form an open canopy be-
meath which grass will grow.
| 1t is a rather fast-growing tree
that may become too large for
the small property after rs years
Ior so. Twenty-Five to 80 feet from
the house is a good planting dis
lance.
The dark twisted fruit pods re-
main on the tree for a long time
after the leaves fall, but even
Itually must be raked from lawns.
The 'Moraine" locust, a variety
of honeylocust, is said to be
thornless and fruitless. MimoSa
webworm attacks and defoliates
honeylocust. Repeated defolia-
ton may kill the trees: so one
should spray them with an in
secticide to control the webworms
If they appear.
Naples
The native red maple Acer
rubrum grows well here. At ma
tufity 1t may reach 70 feet in
height, but under city conditions
so feet would be more usual. Red
maple grows relatively fast and
represents a compromise between
the rapidly growing silver maple,
which has weak wood, and the
more slowly growing sugar ma
pie, which has strong wood.
Red maple can be transplanted
easily. It has red flowers in spring
followed by red fruits, which
