packed more than 100 900 cases year after year after year.
 Tn those days we had big farms on the kenai- with lots of dairy cows and big pigs that ran wild all summer long. The Kenai had thousands and thousands of deer in those days. I remember them as girl. Then the deer disappeared. Why don't know. I never saw moose until l was a grown woman." Grandma Pet- tersofi recalled.
 The first American school was not established in Kenai un- til 1905. Before then all the chil- dren attended church school and we all spoke Russian .

Not many people in Kenai re- member the days when Russia still owned Alaska but Mrs. Matrona Mia. Peterson is one of these.
 At the first meeting of the Kenai Historical Society in April 1856, Ma" told of her memories of those early times.
 "When the news came to Kenai that Alaska was to be taken over by the Americans, many Russians became terror-stricken,' Grand ma Peterson remembered her mother telling her as girl. They expected to be robbed, beaten, put into slavery and their women stolen. Some Russians, who had the money, returned to Siberia. But most of them stayed, fearing the worst.
 The Americans came and treated everyone fairly. No wonl- en were stolen. Soon after tae Americans came things got much better on the kenai. The big can nery at kasilof was built and everybody was paid 10 cents per salmon for fishing. The eannery

should be noted that the closet
is dark, and that the bulbs
are watered at least twice a
week during the roofing period,
fresh enough to keep the sand
damp, never wet nor bonedry.
Feel Flower Bud
The pots remain in this
storage closet until they are
ready to be brought out into
light and more warmth for fl
nal growth and bloom. Mrs.
Tuinman says they are not
ready to be brought out until
the flower bud can be felt.
In among the leaves which
are then a couple of inches
high, there should be a fat
flower bud. If development has
not reached that stage the
bulbs should be kept in the
dark cold storage place until
it is there. (The old rule was
to see how we'll the bulbs we're
rooted and this was observed
either by the roots growing out
of the drainage hole or by re-
the ball of earth from

Some Varieties of Bulbs
For Forcing Listed

I There is some difference in
the way the various varieties
respond to forcing techniques
for indoor bloom. Almost any
variety will do in a way. but
for top quality enduring flow
ers there are the better ones.
The varieties listed are those
recommended by the Dutch
Bulb Growers and they should
know. Most of these varieties
are available from local mer-
chants. not as specially pre-
pared bulbs" but rather as or
binary bulbs. The prepared
bulbs are those specially treated
for forcing into extra early
bloom-the holidays, and. in
some cases. even earlier. The
normal stock of bulbs may be
forced for February and March
bloom. and that is the period
most home gardeners are inter-
ested in.

BY BILL YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

Not long ago Mrs. A. S.
Tuinman, wife of the Agri-
cultural Counselor of the
Netherlands Embassy. gave an
illustrated talk to the USDA
Garden Club, showing how
she forced bulbs for indoor
bloom. Mrs. Tuinman is one of
those delightful speaders who.
having had many years of sue
ceSsful experience. enthused her
audience not only by the
beauty of the forced bulbs but
also by the ease with which
she did it.
Mrs. Tuinman, having had
much experience, has learned
how to succeed without follow
ing conventional methods that
now seem cumbersome COM
pared to hers. For example she
puts her potted bulbs in a very
cool cupboard in the basement
rather than in a cold frame
or ditch in the garden. The
cupboard is kept cold, not
higher than As degrees by a
window ventilator that can be
closed when outside tempera-
lures go too low. Another de-
Walton she enjoys is that in
filling the pots she uses build
erS sand. This is. of course.
much simpler than mixing
sand, peatmoSs and loan, the
commonly practiced method.
Starts Mid November
These practices make the
forcing Of bulbs much simpler
and very likely reduce the cost
of bringing spring. -bloomers in
doors in mid-winter. And that
is what Mrs. Tuinman does
each year. She starts her bulbs
around the middle of Novem-
ber. and using only the COM
monty available bulbs, she has
bloom beginning in the holi-
day season. Paper white mar
cissus are in bloom even earlier
- in six weeks, because they
do not need dark. cool period
for roofing.

southern windows with nice
wide sills where the pots are
kept until the flowers are open.
Hyacinths are easier to force
than either tulips or daffodils
or crocus. The grape hyacinths
tMuscarD like it cool.
IF Dry Situation
Where the window space is
both hot and dry it will be
necessary to syringe the foliage
almost daily to keep it soft
and tender. Sometimes hard
dry sheaths keep the flower
buds from opening.
To use Mrs. Tuinman's
method of forcing and have the
flowers ready for the show at
the Armory next March the
timetable might well start. with
buying top-quality bulbs of the
desired varieties now. Store
the bulbs in cool dry situation
until time for potting. Pot the
tulips and daffodils about the
middle of November for all ex-
cept the very early Towering
varieties. The hyacinthS, cro-
Gus and grape hyacinths should
be potted about mid-December.
In potting for the flower show
it will be well to note the
number of bulbs to be in pot
of a given size as shown in
the show schedule.
Here are suggested statistics
on forcing. but the time re-
qulred varies with temperature

and they are determined to keep it.
Now, this being the case, we are

Social Security

thousands OF dollars in social
security benefits may be lost to a
number ofretired workers Or their
survivors if they do not apply for
their payments soon, Lloyd S.
House, Field Representative of the
Window Rock Social Security Of
flee. said today.
With the 1861 amendments to
the social security law crowding
the changes of late last year from
the public eye, Mr.. House said,
many people affected by the 1860
amendments have apparently not
yet learned of their eligibility for
payments.
These three groups were made
newly eligible for benefits begin
ming with the month of October 1860:
l. Those persons made eligible
for benefits under the 1860 provi-
sion which reduced the amount of
work needed to qualify for pay
mentS (now even further reduced
under this years amendments.
2 Survivors of workers who
died between March 81, 1888, and
January 1. 1910. (These benefits
had been payable only to surviv-
Ors of workers who died in 194Oor
later.)
3. Aged dependent widowers of
women workers who d e d before
September 1850, when this type of
benefit was not payable.
Workers who have been totally
disabled for year and half or
more, and their dependents, may
lose some back payments if they
do not apply for their social secur-
ity benefits before the end of No
Vember.
Under the law, social security
benefits may be retroactive for up
TO IL months, MIR. House explained.
Therefore, for those persons who
became eligible for payments in
October of last year. when most of
the 1860 amendments went into ef-
feet, each month of delay in apply
ing for their benefits will now mean
a months benefit lost.
Also. there are many aged
workers who have not applied for
benefits because they feel they are
now earning above the maximum to
be eligible for payments, Mr..
House added. They may be wrong,
he said. esPeci ia lily since new
changes in the law have been made.
In ia CT, they m y be eligible for
payments for some months of 1861,
if not for the entire year.
Moreover, he pointed out, even
if they are not eligible for payments
now. by applying now. they canre-
ceive their benefits as soon as they
do become eligible.
