Negotiations are pend- ing which, if completed, will bring about 1000 colonies of bees from Chico to Los Moli- nos. D. F. Willis who recently succeeded E. N. Thode as lo- cal manager of the Diamond Match company, is on a deal with Fred Williams of Chico to bring all of Mr. Williams' bees to Los Molinos. Mr. Wil- liams is the largest apiarist in the Chico country, and is president of the bee men's as- sociation which recently or- ganized. Mr. Williams desires to get his colonies located where there is more sweet clover and alfalfa than is to be found in Chico, and the irrigation at Los Moli- nos causes the clover to live all summer, while there are thousands of acres of alfalfa that make ideal bee pas- ture. The Napa thistle which is also one of the best bee flowers, producing an es- pecially white and mild fla- vored honey, is found more abundantly in irrigated sec- tion than elsewhere. — Feb. 12, 1915 100YEARSAGO...

Police logs Local fly fishers from the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers and Shasta Mayflies will again be sponsoring six youth, ages 10 through 15, to attend a week long fly fishing camp this summer. It is the mission of the club to spread fly fish- ing knowledge and enjoy- ment to the next genera- tion, as well as help them learn to appreciate our local streams, rivers and lakes. For the past 17 years, The Fly Shop of Redding has run a kids Fish Camp, held at its private preserve, An- telope Creek Ranch, near Weed. The experienced pros at this camp teach youth various casting tech- niques, how to select and tie on artificial flies, how to read the waters, and how to land and safely release the fish they catch. Other fun parts of the camp expe- rience include great meals, nightly campfires, fly tying classes and group games. For complete informa- tion about Fish Camp, go to www//theflyshop.com and click on "Schools/Camps/ kids camp." These scholarships will be for camp sessions held in June and July. Each ses- sion is limited to 20 camp- ers. The full $795 cost of the five-day and four-night pro- gram, including accommo- dations, meals and equip- ment, will be covered for six youth ages 10 through 15 by the Shasta Trinity Fishers and Shasta May- flies scholarships. Although youth from all over the United States at- tend these summer sessions of Fish Camp, only those from Shasta, Siskiyou, Te- hama and Trinity counties are eligible to participate in this contest to win one of the six scholarships. Any youth age 10 through 15 who would like to apply for a scholarship, is asked to complete a one- page application available at Shastatrinityflyfishers. org/kids.html or by calling 524-9975. Completed applications should be sent to Fish Camp Scholarships, P.O. Box 990002, Redding, CA 96099-0002. All submis- sions must be received by April 2. Winners and alter- nates will be announced and notified by April 13, by the Shasta Trinity Fly Fish- ers and Shasta Mayflies. FL Y FI SH ER S Scholarships for Fish Camp available Richfield Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) will be holding its 58th Annual Ham Dinner and Auction on March 7. PTO is a non-profit or- ganization that supports Richfield School and com- munity. Richfield School is in rural Tehama County and enrolls about 240 children in kindergar- ten through eighth grade. This event is its main fun- draiser for the year. With the proceeds, PTO members aim to support music and physical educa- tion programs, continue to provide field trip op- portunities and purchase technology and classroom supplies. It is important to PTO that assistance goes directly towards provid- ing the highest quality ed- ucational experience for students. PTO members are seek- ing donations of items to the auction and under- writing of portions of the event. Donations can be mailed to the school, and the school can arrange for someone to pick up a do- nation. The tax identifica- tion number for Richfield PTO is 68-0071398. All do- nors will be acknowledged at the event. Tickets to the din- ner are available through the school or at the door. Adults are $8 and children are $5. FUNDRAISER Ham dinner, auction will benefit Richfield School The Sacramento River Discovery Center will be fo- cusing on the birds and the bees this week with an pro- gram at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12 and the monthly Bird Walk set for Valentine's Day. The February topic for the Thursday evening pro- gram at the Farm Bureau building, 275 Sale Lane, will be "Bees — how busy can they be." The program will begin with a presentation by Dan Dempsey, long time Tehama County beekeeper and head of the Gleaner's project for Tehama County. He will talk about the importance of bees to the area's fruit and nut crops and what we need to know to keep the bees healthy and happy. Executive Director Bobie Hughes said she thought she was fairly "in the know," but in 10 minutes listening to Dan her knowledge greatly increased about bees and how important they are as pollinators and the value of honey in the diet. There will be a question and answer period after the presentation and as usual there will be refreshments available. There is a special package of wildflower seeds to all attendees that become new members of the center. The Valentine's Day Spe- cial Bird Walk is set for Sat- urday. The weather forecast is for a stellar day. So, grab your binoculars and your bird books and meet at 8 a.m. at the center.

DISCOVERY CENTER Birds, bees on tap this week DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO The Valentine's Day Special Bird Walk is set for Saturday. By Kathy Bramhall Valentine's Day is here. Commercial enterprises promote cut roses to give as a token of our love. Who can say no to a dozen gorgeous red roses? But roses are out of season and pretty pricey. No, I wouldn't turn them down but I would prefer a living plant. This time of year you can get pretty pots of bright cheery daffodils, tu- lips, and other delights. But what to do with the plant/bulb after the flow- ers are gone? Let's talk tulips. Not all tulips are bred to bloom year after year, but we can try. After the petals fall, cut the flower organs off the stem. Let the stems and foliage die a natural death, giving them just a sprinkling of water ev- ery week, faking rain— soaking will cause the bulbs to rot. In late sum- mer or early fall or after the foliage has died dump your Valentine tulips out of the pot, shake off the soil and hopefully you have a plump firm bulb. If not, throw it out. It is not worth the trouble of re- planting. And go purchase new ones. If your bulbs are plump and firm wrap in newspaper and refrigerate 6-8 weeks. In our area, re- plant your bulbs after the soil has cooled in Novem- ber or December or even January for a March to May display. Select a site that is in part shade—Sunset sug- gests under deciduous trees that leaf out late in the spring. Tulips need soil rich in organic matter. At my place that means—amend, amend, amend. Dig holes 3 times deeper that the bulbs are wide—for a more natu- ral look plant in odd num- bered groups of 3, 5, 7. Add a tablespoon of bone meal and a teaspoon of bal- anced—10-10-10—fertil- izer to the bottom of the hole. My organic garden- ing friends say if mice or moles are a problem, put a tablespoon of kitty litter or some prickly leaves in the hole. Plant the bulb pointed end up. Let the winter and spring rains do the wa- tering. If there is no rain, sprinkle once a week, more fake rain. Do Not over wa- ter. Tulips do well in con- tainers/pots too. Three bulbs in a pretty 6-inch pot placed on an outdoor table or bench can be charming. Tulips do best with dry summers—which we have, and cold winters—which we don't have, hence the 6-8 weeks of refrigeration. I re- peat, not all tulips are bred to bloom more than once. If you want dependable bloom year after year look for Species tulips when you are shopping—Kaufmanni- ana tulips, Fosteriana tu- lips, Greigii tulips. Try tulips, they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and today are rel- atively inexpensive. Whereas, back in 17th cen- tury Holland tulips were all the rage and a hand- ful of bulbs could cost as much as the annual salary of most craftsmen. Truly the choice of Kings and Queens! Red Bluff Garden Club meets the last Tuesday of most months at the Union Hall 12889 Baker Road. The next meeting is 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 12889 Baker Road in Red Bluff.
