The forecast of severe freez.
ing last Sunday was most up
setting. 1t is the sharp freeze
that comes after a period Of
warm weather that does the
damage. Plants respond to the
high temperatures and start into
active growth.
A freeze then ruptures the
cells and splits the bark.
Examine the stems Of the
azaleas and other tender plants
for splits in the bark. If any
are found. cover them with a
tree dressing to seal the wound
so that disease cannot enter.
1t may be discouraging to find
that the new shoots on the
roses have been killed. But the
injury is not serious because
there are two dormant buds
alongside the dead one that will
develop and produce a new crop
Of blooms. although they will
come much later.
Get Ready for Tomatoes
It is a good time to prepare
for tomato planting although
that job will not be done for
q week or more. Dig the holes
at least a foot deep and a foot
wide and fill with well-enriched
compost. Allow this to settle
thoroughly before planting time
1t will not hurt to mix a table,
spoon Of 5-10-5 into this COM
post mixture. When planting
time comes the plants can go
directly into the holes and the
stakes or wire cylinders placed
1t is usually desirable to mulch
the newly set plants so that
cultivating will not be necessary,
GladioIus Paintings
1t Is time to make additional
gladiolus paintings If a con-
tinous supply of flowers for

ing is recommended so that the
tall spikes will not topple over

the rows at least 4 inches deep,
preferably 6, but at planting
time cover the corms with only
2 inches Of soil.
Kill Miners With DDT
1t is almost time for the holly
and boxwood miners to be
emerging and that is the best
time to kill them with DDr
Spray the foliage with a 5 or 10

leaves begin to unfold. We
should examine the lockwood

LIFE IN

Sossofros Tea for What Ais You
BY JAMES BlRcHFIELD

You who live in the city can
cheer up. for things are not as
bad as they may seem. I have
just learned that some of the
larger food stores now are SELL
Ing packages Of sassafras roots.
No longer will anyone have to
do without the wonderful tea
that may be brewed from sassa-
fras. And now all can benefit
by a spring tonic that is without
peer. All you do Is boil up a
little tea. sit back. and drink
yourself into health and we'll
being.
Cap Hicks came by the other
day to tell me about finding
sassafras in the grocery stores.
He said he had just found out
what had allied him for the last
three or four years-it was be-
cause he hadn't had any sassa-
fras tea.
But now all is well. Cap found
his sassafras down at the store,
and he looks like new man.
The only trouble is that he didn't
have to dig his own sassafras
roots. and that may make some
difference. I'm not sure that
store-bought sassafras has the
same strength as the good old
country variety.
Now. with us. we have a couple
Of sassafras trees right out back,
and it isn't any trouble at all to
keep a stock Of roots on hand.
And we keep the kettle boiling on
the back Of the stove so we can
take sips any time our systems
call for a little spring bracer.
Sassafras, ! notice, was once
called the ague tree. and ! sup
pose it was because our hardy
ancestors early recognized its
Ihealth-giying properties.
So my advice is. before spring
gets any further along. dig or
buy some sassafras roots and get
the old kettle out and boiling on
the stove. You'll be a new person.

Bulldozeritis

Kennedy's account of preparing
a flower bed in compacted soil
(bulldozeritis) may recognize a
problem that has been troubling
you. II the drain hole cannot be

age then it is better to plant
trees and shrubs in an unpre-
pared bed. but mulch the surface
heavily so that crusting is
avoided and moisture is retained
without the plants sitting in a
tank.
Spray for Rh0d0dendrons
Rhododendrons are sometimes
troubled with borers and the
only control is to spray the stems
with DDT or methoxychlor. This
should be done within the next
week or two. about the end OF
May, and again in mid-June.
This same spray schedule may
be followed in controlling borers
IN dogwoods. The spray should
coat all woody stems that are
large enough to be of interest to
the borer.

 There will be no construction on the Alaska National Guard Armory until July of 1858, ac- cording to letter received by the City from Col. Farmer, command ing officer of the AVG.
 As the city had already paid $500 on $7,5OO option from the Northern Commercial Co. for the site of the armory, it was voted to pay the balance of $500, giving the city full title to the site.
 Requests for purchase of city property were received from Tom Assila for Lot 36 in Block B and Munz Air Service for Lot 37 in Block 67 and were referred to committee.
 Insurance for $42,OO0 was talk en on the two-room high school addition to the school now under construction.

Army Wants

WASHINGTON, LR-The Army wants the selective service to be little more selective, to avoid totally inept and unsuitable" draftees.
 It asked Congress yesterday for authority to set higher mental standards to escape the great expense" of sometimes unsuccess- ful efforts to make soldiers out of unlikely recruits
 Present law permits the various services to reject only the bottom 10 percent of selective service candidates in the lowest of four categories. The Army asked the President be given authority to let the services increase the re- jection ratio.
 In theory, the proposal would permit the Army to reject up to 90 percent of dnaft-eligible men and induct only the cream of the crop. A Pentagon spokesman said, however, there was no intention to go to that extreme.
