Saving Wild
Life is Resettle
ment Plan
New Nebraska Project Set Up. Two
Game Kefuges Are Being
Madi
Larger.
Increasing and preserving wild life
is the primary aim of the land util
ization division of the resettlement
administration, i:i development of
22C.O0O acres in 14 projects in this
region, according to Cal A. Ward, re
gional director. The total land use
program in this region embraces pur
chase of 1.9 million acres of land and
converting it to its best use. On most
of the projects this consists of re
turning farm land to grazing, but
some land is devoted to forestry, re
: creation and game preservation.
Scattered over North and South
Dakota and Nebraska, it is the pur-
(pose of these wild life sanrtuaries to
provide ideal conditions for propa -
gation and conservation of native
birds and animals. The program in-
eludes restoration of native cover of
trees, shrubs and grasses in the areas
and maintenance of an adequate
wafer supply
Land use adjustment projects in
the region where wild life conser
vation and development is the pri
mary aim include six South Dakota
projects and five in North Dakota.
Nebraska has three game conserva
tion projects: Crescent lake in Gar
den county, 2.000 acres; Niobrara in
Cherry county with 2,000 acres, and
Valentine lakes, also in Cherry coun
ty, with GO. 000 acres. Niobrara and
Crescent lake projects are additions
to existing game refuges.

j from the way in which blossoms nv

'cluster formed by stems v. .dialing

ery are the chief garden vegetables
belonging to this family. Among th
flavoring herbs, dill and caraway are
represented, and in the flower garden
the blue lace flower, didiscus coerulea.
and the popular wild ;!owt r. Queen
Anne's Lace, are eomr on. The last
mentioned is valued wr its beauty
f..r cutting, but is seldom allowed in
the well-repuiated gard:i becaus of
its spreading propensities.
The vegetable "umbrellas" are sel
dom seen in bbx-m. The carrot and
I the parsnin ar-- both biennial plmts
which will not bloom until the roots
are formed. Occasionally, however,
you will see a parsnip, which was not
du up in the spring, in bloom and
displaying its yellow timbrels; the
carrot is not hardy enough to stand
the winter cold, ami consequently
grows only as an annual.
The caraway and the Queen Anne's
Lace are most characteristic o the
umbellit'crae bloom. Arr.one those
that are not as distinctive is th- s a
holly, or erynizium. a perennial m ru
ber of the family, w 1m- h is a veritable
paradox, as it resembles a thistle
rather than an umbrella.
The old-fashioned myrrh or sweet
cicely of the old-time garden, grown
for its pleasantly scented foliage, is
another member of the family. Roots
which furnish food may be found on
some of the tropical varieties. It is
thought that the poison hernlo' k
