Sims A recent survey showed almost a third of the land in the United States is set aside in national preserves of one kind or another. In some western states (California for example) over forty per cent of the land is federal prop erty. Thus it's not exactly true that the people of the United States are not preserving their wonderful forest, mountains and lakes. In the eastern part of the country states like the Carolinas, which have five or six per cent of their land under government protection, are typical. But in the west ern half of the nation (Wash ington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana. Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona) almost fifty per cent of the land is federal dofnain. These federal forests and parks are often models of orderly management and beauty and every American can profit by visits or vaca tions spent in or near them. Opportunities are best for residents of western states but those in other areas have opportunities at hand also. These parks and forests are often so popular that reserva tions for the camps and lodges maintained by the gov ernment and leased to appli cants on a first-come, first serve basis must be made months in advance. Included in the federal domain are some fifty-eight wilderness areas (9,000,000 acres), set aside by Congress in 1964. These areas are not to be mined, roaded or chang ed in any way and wheeled vehicles are not permitted withiif them. In addition to forests and parks there are some 28.5 million acres set aside as wild life refuges and in some of these refuges such animals as the American buffalo are staging a comeback. < Thus in the United State* the average vacationer has a idmber of choicct if he wishes to enjoy the outdoors beauty of the nation. That choice may be more restrict ed in future years as a grow ing population demands use of some of this land, es pecially In states where fed eral ownership amounts to almost half the state's total. The best time of the year to visit the nation's federal preserves is from now until October- -although some fed eral parks can be enjoyed year-round. Every year, how ever, too many visitors have close calls or arc hurt or killed by bears and other forms of wildlife because they take unnecessary chancei. Especially with bears, every precaution should be taken for all bears are powerful creatures and run faster than humans.

Gardner "What Is meant by chlo rosis and how can this con dition be treated when oc curring on azalea plants?" When azalea leaves lose their normal green color and become yellowish they are spoken of as being chlorotic. Sometimes the yellowing fol lows a rather definite pattern with the midrib and veins remaining green and other parts of the surface turning yellow. This lack of normal leaf color develops as a result of a trace element deficiency and is not associated with a di sease organism. These trace element deficiencies are^ be coming rather wide spread in many crops and bring into focus the importance of prop er nutrition. The most common form if chlorosis on azalea* is caused by the lack of avail able iron brought about by a soil reaction ph, which is too high or sweet. The iron de ficiency symptom is further aggravated in soils which are wet and poorly aerated. For correction, the first and most obvious step Is to adjust the soil reaction, or ph, by using either aluminum sul phate or sulfur, to a ph of about 5.0. A soil test will be necessary in order to make this adjustment intelligently. Another method of cor recting the chlorotic con dition is the use of iron che late (Key -late). Chelates are made from organic com pounds and are considered to be stable and water soluble. They are effective sources of trace element correction in plant nutrition. Mix the iron chelate1 with water according to instructions on the con tainer. The solution can be sprayed on the plant or sprinkled over the plants with a watering can. While iron chlorosis is the most common deficiency symptom on azaleas in most soils, chlorosis may also ap pear on plants grown in clay soils due to a deficiency of magnesium. This condition can be corrected by spraying, or sprinkling with one ounce of magnesium sulphate (Ep som salts) in 2 gallons of water. In answering this question I do not wish to cause con fusion because nematodes at tacking the root system may also cause a condition re sembling iron deficiency chlo rosis. In one case the nema tode interferes with the ab sorption of all nutrients while in the other case the soil reaction makes the iron un available to the plant. TWIN PESIGNS FOR EASY SEWING?
