Lasting Winter Arrangements from the Wild Berries, Foliage Cones and Even Weeds May Be Used for Long Lasting Decoration. During: these days when gardens are ravaged by frost, even the hardy chrystanthemums having been blast ed by the cold, the house is left bare of flowers and the flower lover at a loss where to turn for material with which to make "arrangements. There is one unfailing source of sup ply which is largely unrealized the fields and the woods of late Autumn and early Winter. Today plant conservation laws are strict in many states and, it is ex pected, soon will be in others. With out breaking any protective laws, however, or harming any tree, shrub or plant, it is possible to obtain in teresting material for a number of lasting Winter arrangements. Study of the conservation laws cf the state In which one lives is a salutary pre liminary. It prevents the possibility of breaking the law through ignor ance, and also acquaints one with the growing things which are in danger of extinction. With this knowledge it is often possible to help the con servation authorities. Every one has learned to grow or to purchase Bittersweet, Chinese Lanterns and Honesty for durable cold-weather floral decorations, but there the average person stops, with out testing the possibilities of the fields and woods. As even the city dweller drives frequently through rural districts, almost every one has access to this source of supply. In Autumn Fields. A walk through an Autumn field will yield many seed pods and grasses of distinctive shapes and colorings, One of the commonest and most beau tiful of these is the milkweed stalk, bearing its graceful seed pods.

Refnae aU substitutes insist on the oririnal McCoy's there are noae better. these stalks are cut before the pods open and the arrangement of which they are a part completed before ex posing them to artificial heat, the pods will open slowly. The silky, sil ver fluff and tear-shaped dark seeds which they contain will gradually emerge, adding character and charm to the whole bouquet. Unless exposed to a brisk breeze, the fluff will not detach itself from the pod to disturb the neatness of the room. Those who fear this may detach the fluff or collect-stalks with' open pods which have already dis charged their freight of seeds. Used in this way the interesting shapes of the pod3 may appear to greater ad vantage, though there is the loss of the highlights provided by the silver fluff. Milkweed is so common a plant that any number of these stalks may be cut without fear of depleting the supply. Cattails ' and the lovely feathery sprays of wild rice in seed may be found on river flats and in marshy meadows. In such locations these are very, plentiful. The two together form a splendid combination for tall vases, especially for those who are "going Victorian," for this arrange ment revives a grouping used a gen eration ago. Berries That Stay. Berries are desirable in these Win ter bouquets to give color and inter estlng outline. Care is usually taken to select those which remain on the branch after cutting. Dogwood, for instance, and the many viburnums, lovely as their berries are on the trees, do not remain fresh after cut ting. The dogwood in addition, is one of the trees which has suffered most from thoughtless vandals. In spite of its tempting appearance in both Spring and Fall, It should be left strictly alone. One of the best berried shrubs for cut use in Winter is the ilex, or com mon winterberry. Thi3 native cf our countryside haunts hedgerows, stone walls and stream beds. It is found often on upland farm3, but always near water, though the trickle of a small spring is enough to supply the necessary moisture. One of its char acteristics is the thickness with which the brilliant red berries are set on the upper twig3, each berry attached by a tiny stem. These re main after the foliage has fallen, and if the cut branches are placed in wa ter, will stay fresh and plump for months. The ilex berries are frequently used with holly foliage for commer cial Christmas wreaths and it is hard to distinguish them from holly ber ries. The ilex is extremely plentiful, and if it is not possible to obtain a few branches from one's own country place, permission may be secured to cut a small quantity alone some farmer's pasture wall. Since its leaves are not evergreen, the Ilex will be unlikely to suffer the fate of the holly which has been so ruthlessly destroyed hereabouts for commercial purposes. The Red Osier Dogwood, another shrub which often grows with ilex in the hedgerows and bears whitish green berries on , garnet stems, is useless for Winter work a3 the ber ries drop soon after picking. A Vine for Walls. Virginia Creeper is one of the earliest plants to turn color in the Autumn, and by November its stems are bare except for the bunches of very dark dull-blue berries and the twisting tendrils which are revealed by the loss of foliage. Placed in water in a wall vase a couple of long branches of this rugged vine with its berries and tendrils is uniquely beau tiful. It is considered advisable to vut only a few sprays from Virginia Creeper that has become well estab lished. Sometimes beginners make the mis take of plucking Poison Ivy. This grows in similar locations and also has beautiful berries, but it has three leaflets instead of five as In the Vir ginia Creeper and it clims by means of rootlets only. Poison Ivy has no tendrils. It is thus easy to distin guish it even when the leaves have fallen. Dwellers near the seashore know the demure little gray Bayberry. These berries grow near the main branches. If the bare twigs are left just as they are picked, after the leaves are removed, the branches are much more decorative, as breaking them off near the berries destroys the natural character of the branch. Thi3 shrub is one of those still so plenti ful that it can be picked freely. The Red or Elkshorn Sumac is coming into favor for modernistic floral arrangements. After the leaves have fallen, the velvety crimson fruit in its tassel-like heads is borne on the branches in an interesting man-j ncr. Usually all the tassels incline in one direction, and a single branch filled with fruit can be arranged to give a graphic windblown effect. Sumac is very common and can be cut without danger of extermination. Sumac bearing white fruit Is poison ous and should not be touched. Evergreens for Backgrounds. The evergreens can be counted on to form the backbone of most Win ter arrangements. These cannot be cut indiscriminately, but it is usual ly possible to secure a few branches either from one's own property or from neighboring woodlands. One of he nice things about Winter arrange ments is that they last indefinitely, Therefore a single branch of one tree or shrub is often enough for the purpose. It is not necessary to cut great numbers of branches, thus In juring the trees and wasting valu able decorative material. If it is ne cessary to prune an unruly branch of rhododendron or laurel In the gar den, do not discard It; the shiny, deep green leaves will set off red berries and dainty seed pods. In selecting narrow-leaved ever greens, it is desirable of course to se lect branches bearing cones, and for that reason the seeker must use mod eration. White pine, for instance, is too beautiful, valuable and rare a tree to be marred by the cuttlne of even a few branches, except where it grows plentifully. The lone, erace- ful needles grow fixe in a group and the trees attain great size when old. Scrub or Jersey Pine on the other hand is a small, valueless tree and yet its cones and branches are ex - tremely artistic for Winter arrange- ments. The bark is rough and the nnoilloa Prnu.- tmn In n rrniin TTn- der these pines, or along the trunks, it is not uncommon to find dead branches devoid of foliage but still bearing the graceful cones.

The needles are short and the cones, small and flowerlike, are borne near the tips of the frailer twigs.

The committee, in a riAtnii atmiv of the nation's lands, recommended withdrawal from cultivation of 76 million acres of sub-marginal land throughout the United States, most of which would be devoted to forests, wild bird and game refuges and im proved pasture and frazing facilities. Irrigation Recognized. The report recognized the possi billty of considerable further irriga tion development in Nebraska. It said the state in 1930 had an irrigated OMa K ll. -n, 641 acres at that time were in an area where there were enterprlzes capable of supplying water.

More About that Wolf Hunt The men of the community who en joy hunting are to have the eppor tunity on Wednesday, January 16th, when sixteen sections will be combed In a gigantic wolf hunt. The terri tory included is enclosed by a line drawn from the home of Martin Zaar a distance of four miles west, thence south four miles, east four miles to a point cn the highway just east of Murdock and north from there to the place of beginning. Arrangements for the hunt are in the hands of Homer H. Lawton, who says that rifles will be barred and only shotguns may be taken. What wolves are taken will be sold at auc tion and the proceeds used for the benefit of the poor. Rabbits will be taken to Omaha by Ray Gamlin and given to the poor of that city. Re member the date, Wednesday of this week, January 16th, and be on hand, for there will be some real sport. Hunt starts at ten a. m. sharp.
