After their first harvest, the
Pilgrims set apart a time for a
feast Of thanksgiving. That was
342 years ago in the town Of
Plymouth in New England. 1t
became an annual festival in
the Massachusetts Bay Colony
by 1880. Gradually other States
proclaimed a special day for
giving thanks until there were,
in this country, more than
twenty-five different dates and
two more for the territories.
Beginning with Lin coin our
Presidents proclaimed a day
for national Thanksgiving and
this custom was maintained I'M
til after 1941 when Congress de-
creed that the fourth Thursday
in November should be Thanks
giving Day.
Many many things have
changed in this span Of time
and yet, the backbone Of
the first thanksgiving, the &C

cay. The double bin has the adj
vantage Of insuring the turning
Of the m aterial every six
months. This not only speeds
the decay, but also the unrotted
material on top is placed on the
bottom Of the second bin in the
turning and thus is more likely
to decay quickly and be ready
for use when needed.
Some gardeners like to have a
third bin In which the final ma
terial may be shifted until used.
Since there is a material shrink
age during the composing pc
Rod, the third bin is usually
quite small compared to the
other two.
This type Of construction re-
quires only a few cinderblocks
and a few stakes. The actual
size should be patterned to meet
the needs Of the gardener.
Where one has a number Of
large trees, obviously a bigger
bin viii be needed than where
one has only one or two trees.
Since the importance Of soil
improvement as well as econO-
my justifies compost making, a
neat and orderly bin arrange
ment is desirable, and whether
one has trees or not, compost
making is desirable. To this
end, many gardeners are secw.
ing from the street departments
truck loads Of leaves for their
compost piles. However, an at
tractive, easily operated com.
post bin Is essential for such a
program.

Take time out for this part
of Thanksgiving. Your heart will
overflow with joy and happi-

and the turkey will seem to

your mood will impact itself to
all who pass your threshold.

This Week
In Your Garden


Rain has done much to re-
store the soil moisture. Some
plants that were suffering from
drought are undoubtedly pro-
ducing tender new growth
subject to winter injury If a
hard freeze comes soon. IL
takes a period Of chilling wealth
er with near freezing tempera-
lures to force some plants into
winter dormancy. There is little
the gardener may do to cope
with this problem.
Avoid Long Grass
Regular moving of the lawn
is needed to avoid heavy growth
which can mat down and pro-
duce conditions favorable to the
development of disease.
Roses and Trees
The planting Of roses and
other deciduous shrubs and trees
should be done as time and
weather permits.
Dig, Store Bulbs
The tender summer Towering
bulbs such as dahlias, glads,
Peruvian daffodils, fairyhIes,
cannas, etc., should be dug and
stored in suitable situations.
Most Of these store best In a
cool moist place. The Peruvian
daffodil is the exception-it re-
lquires a warm dry place. Bulbs
packed in vermiculite In freez-
er bags are likely to survive the
dryness Of the average base
lment.
Mulching Practices
It is a common tendency to
place fallen leaves among the
azaleas, rhododendron and ca
meIlias when raking the yard. II
this could be delayed until after
the ground Is frozen, it would
. be more valuable. Mulching too
early tends to delay the ripen-
ing Of the wood and an early
freeze might be injurious. Pieces
of branches placed around
these shrubs before they are
mulched with leaves help to
prevent the leaves from mating
down. Matted leaves hold mois-
ture. Winter mulches are used
for two purposes. One, to keep
the ground from freezing so
that the roots of the evergreens
can continue to function late
into the winter. Such mulches
should be put on now. Two,
mulches are spread to keep the
ground frozen so as to avoid the
freeze and thaw action which
pushes plants out of the ground.
: They are placed on the beds
after the ground has frozen.
Spring Bulbs
Fall planting of the spring
Towering bulbs should be con-
: tinued until they are all safely
! tucked into the groudn. It is
usually advisable to mulch such
: plantings so that fall root
growth will be made.
Hedges
0vergrown hedges may be
! safely cut back at this season
4 with little or no likelihood Of
producing new growth which
: would be subject to winter In
Jury. Most gardeners do not like
!, to cut back an evergreen hedge
!. now since the pruning cuts vii
!: be obvious until new grOwtE
starts next spring.
Hardy Annals
: Sow the seed of the hardy an.
nuals = larkspur, portulaca,
! Shirley poppy, sweet alyssum,
! etc.-where they are to grow.
The seed might well be lightly
covered as a protection from
. birds and mice.
Mound Up Roses
: Mound all newly set out roses
with soil, sawdust or some other
! material which will prevent the
canes from drying out during
: the winter. S eeurely fasten
climbing roses and other climb
ers to their supports so that
they will not whip about in win.

 By increasing forest fire protec- tion in the uplands, and allowing young timber there to mature. this figure could be substantially raised. 1t was stated in a Division report.

This is based on lumber being
 worth $lOO per thousand board feet.
 This indicates that if the one mil. lion board feet sustained yield fig- ure IS reached, according to the timber survey report, that SlO0.- 0OO a year payroll could be antici- pated at Minto.
 Minto is an Athabascan Indian village located on the Panama River downstream from Nenana. T. is only accessible by boat and plane in summer, and dog team, tracked vehicle or plane in winter.
Tundra times., 1963-09-03

The most logical market for the lumber would be located down river to villages along the Tanana and Yukon Rivers the report stated.
 In addition to the timber survey the Division has conducted an em- ployment study that shows an es- timated income of $50,0O0 per year for Minto area residents if a DOT table sawmill, capable of cutting 500,000 board feet a year is estab- lished along the Panama River.

 The report stated, If a milling operation were to be established in the Mlnto area, it would in all prob- ability, be located on along the Panama River. Logging would, for the most part, be restricted to the freeze up period because of the many wet areas and sloughs along the river.
