mentioned above. If it is too
sandy, bring in some clay and add
organic matter too. For this
latter you can use several kinds
of materials. Peat is ‘very good;
decayed barnyard manure is best
of all. After these are applied it
is a good plan to add a liberal
amount of commercial fertilizer.
Ideally, it would be best to spade
the area carefully again so that
all these substances are thorough-
ly mixed. This turning and mix-

the elk hunting season is on be-

on deer hunting duty will be
switched over to elk duty, Augus-

The ranger emphasized that it
is contrary to park rules to trans-
port guns or game across park
land and he also pointed out that
no camp can be established inside
park boundaries by hunters who
will be seeking game outside the
park.

employ a trick that will save a lot
of labor later on. Rake down the
lawn area rather roughly and then
keep the soil moist by sprinkling
just as though you had planted
grass seed! Most of the weed
seeds will germinate in a short
time and they can be taken out
{before the lawn is actually seed-
ied. I recently heard of one man
who did this two or three times,
before sowing the. lawn seed. Then,
of course, you need only break up.

petition from weeds. ProvidedI
you have bought good seed.
The lapse of several weeks be-
fore seeding with grass also gives‘
you a good chance to level out any I
uneveness that has been caused by
irregular settling of the spadedI
areas.

$21,730 Liquor
For County, City
one of the largest slices yet to
come the way of the City of Shel-
ton and Mason County from the
state liquor board profits was
announced yesterday from State
Auditor Cliff Yelle's office in
Olympia.
The city treasury was enriched
to the tune of $11,500.94 while the
county received $10,229.07 for a
total of $21,730.01 coming from
the most profitable year’s busi-
ness since the inception of the
present state liquor control board.
RAINS MAY DAMAGE
SEED GRAIN
Farmers should be careful about
using seed from grain which has
stood in the field an excessive
Ilcngth of time before harvesting,
Icautions Leonard Hegnauer, ex-
‘tension agronomist at the State
College of Washington. Hegnauer
points out that wheat which has
stood in the raiii for an excessive
length of time may be damaged
for seed purposes through pre-
germination and also by swelling
of the kernel which reduces the
number of grains per bushel.

From Far North; TUMWATER SCOUTS ORGANIZE
EMERGENCY SERVICE CORPS
Dozens of young men through—
out the Tumwater Council terri-I
tory of Lewis, Mason, and Thurs-
ton counties are organizing them-
selves into emergency service
These young men, all mem-
bers of scout troops or senior scout
units, do not sever their connec-
tion with their troops but are
being trained in order that they
may in turn train the younger
scouts and also in order that they
may be of service to their com-
munity in case of need.
There are many and varied dif-
ficult branches in which they
must train themselves to be pro-
ficient; one of these, for example, ,
is to be able to climb an 18—foot
rope in 10 seconds. Others are
being able to know and to be able
to send various kinds of commu—
nications rapidly and without mis-
take.
Thcsc emergency scrv1cc corps,
in other parts of the United States
have already demonstrated their
worth, especially in hurricane
areas, floods, earthquakes, etc.,
all having been Boy Scouts were
well trained in First Aid. How-
ever, they train themselves even
more in order that they may be
highly proficient.

cil territory is under the direction
