LAWNS AND FIELDS
INDICATE SEVERE
WINTER KILL IN AREA
Severe winter kill of brome
and Kentucky blue grass has
been observed throughout the
valley, according to the Alaska
Agriculture Experiment Station
director, Dr. Allan Mick.
The kill was attributed, by Dr.
Mick, to the lack of snow cover
in late January at which time
there was considerable icing
which stayed on the grass for
about six weeks. The kill was
caused, he said, by the lack of
insulation between the grass and
the ice layer.
The chances of getting good
lawns now, he stated, call for a
delay in planting until about
mid-July, when nature will pro
bably take a hand in the irriga
tion.
Through tests made at the sta
tion, Kentucky blue grass has
proven to be the hardiest for this
part of Alaska, and is recom
mended by Station personnel. A
number of landscaping and gard
ening bulletins are available to

**************
By Wes Lancaster
Annie was only nine years old.
As long as she could remember,
she had lived in an orphanage.
She tried hard to please every
one, but just seemed to be one
of those personalities that rubbed
everyone the wrong way. Since
it wasn’t a Christian home, the
officers of the institution were
just hoping to discover her break
ing some rule so they could send
her away.
A matron at last disclosed that
she had something on Annie. She
had spied the little girl crawl
ing through a hole in the fence
and into the edge of the woods
which was out of bounds. Con
cealing herself, she had seen
Annie tuck a piece of paper in
the crotch of a tree and steal
back into the yard.
The next day two matrons hid
in the woods and saw Annie
slip to the tree and leave her
paper. When she had gone, they
examined it to find in a childish,
penciled scrawl, this message,
“Whoever you are, whoever gets
this, I want you to know—I love
you!”
One day God hung a “Message*
upon a tree. As Jesus hung there
between earth and sky in your
place and mine, He was saying to
the whole world, “Whoever you
are, whoever gets this, I want you
to know—I love you!” What folly
to spurn that love! I would rath
er receive it and live than rejedt
it and die. WOULDN’T YOU?
