ceives many reports telling of dam
age to grain fields by birds, chiefly
chicks and geese.
When the soil is moderately firm,
Mr. McAtee explains, wild fowl in
most cases merely nip the grain
plants and leave the roots in place

stooling and the production of a
larger number of stalks. The crop

GLORY OF SPRING—
THE ONE I LOVE—

My love is fair,
My love is sweet.
With her oretty hair,*
And rosy cheeks.
On her lips a smile does stay.
She is beautiful in every way;
In her eyes, is a love divine
I like to dream that she is mine.
In her body and her face.
Lies a beauty, full of grace.
Romantic is her voice so low,
It follows me, where ’ere I go,
So cupid, whatever you do,
Make us happy, just we two.

EDITORIAL—
Here is a word of cheer for the
despondent—The school year is not
over, yet so don’t give up—’specially
seniors—yre have some time left,
why not make that the most suc
cessful part of our year?
No race is over till the last yard’s
run;
When the morning glory vine’s in
bloom ,
The time of joy is at hand.
When afar off you hear the cry of a
coon,
Tis springtime in the surround
ing lands.
Now for a walk with me to a shady
spot,
Probably a walk down the cows’
lane,
Or across the valley, over the hills,
Or perhaps a bath in the grassy
sand.
No matter where, just any old spot
Just so you are with me I’m al
right,
In the mid of the sunny days of
May,
Or in darkness of the night.
No matter where the walk leads.
Just so you are with me I’m al
right.
A walk or a ride will do in May,
But rather a walk in the moon
light. ■
\
In the month of May or June
Nothing can be more sublime
Than to have a walk with you,
in the form of a ichooi farm.
Mr. Mayer mentioned the inport-
ance of the boys of Washington
School District learning how to
make a living and making it by
farming.
After the program chicken stew
was served and enjoyed by all.
Everyone left with the feeling that
they had been'greatly benefited by

Bicentennial
Flower Gardens
Schools and garden clubs all over
the country are joining enthusias
tically in a movement to plant
flower gardens this spring as part
of the celebration in honor of the
George Washington Bicentennial.
This is being done in several ways,
according to the Information Divf-
sion of the United States George
Washington Bicentennial Commis
sion, which is sponsoring the activ
ity.
Many gardeners will plant flow
ers which Will bloom year after year
to remind future generations of
this great patriotic, nation-wide
celebration. Back yards and small
garden plots will bloom with Col
onial flowers as an outdoor mani
festation of w T hat this year means
to Americans. The Department of
Agriculture is co-operating whole
heartedly in this movement by pre
paring lists of flowers and shrubs
which were familiar in Colonial
Days.

trend toward simpler dishes, less
seasoning, more fruit and vege
tables, and fewer starchy, rich,
heavy foods for adults, while chil
dren get a variety of vegetables
and other coarser foods at an
earlier age. Better storage facili
ties and wider distribution of the
perishable vegetables and fruits
have also contributed to the gener
al change.
The mother can now plan menus
from the wide variety of wholesome
foods available, feeling certain
that they will be satisfactory to the
adults in the home and suitable
for the children. Slightly smaller
portions are given to the children,
according to their ages. If the
adults like condiments, children’s
portions can be removed from the
dish before the high seasoning is
added. Rich sauces can be omit
