Like the Pestlferous Sparrow. This
Import Also Has Become
Pest,

From Memorial day to the Fourth
of July the large white daisies In some
form, dwarf or tail-growing varieties,
are found In abundance. decorating
the unimproved grounds OF suburban
country seats. and yet proving daily
annoyance to farmers throughout the
hills and valleys Of eastern Pennsyl-
yania. according to a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record. No soon
er are the large daisies gone for the
season than the little ox-eyes and the
other white and yellow blooms with
dark centers. known as July and Au-
gust daisies. and only EXPLANATIONS
of delight and rapture are heard from
the appreciative youngsters who are
"out a-daisying.'
While the daisies have been well
known both in censure and praise for
many. many summers, 1t is only very
recently that the responsibility Of
their introduction into this country
has been credibly fixed. Horsham
township is declared to be the Offend
ing community, and Sir William
heltu, uTSl llSutendnC governor OF
Pennsylvania, the individual who
brought "the flower weed" over from
England.
It has been a mystery to many
Pennsylvanians. where the daisies
are the thickest and their history evil
IDENTIFY the most familiar, as to why
they have become known in the past
as park weeds" The reason is ex-
planned when their source of intro
duction is taken into consideration.
They received the name from Graeme
Park. the Montgomery county home
of Governor Keith.
Since the historic Keith mansion
has been in ruin and even the ancient
trees and shrubbery in Its famous
dooryard have largely died out. the
profusion of daisies surrounding the
old home have been the most brilliant
monument to the days of colonial gov
eminent in provincial Pennsylvania.

A simple way OF preventing the

water in the oven. Change the water

Saucepans should be thoroughly
dried before they are put away after

the metal.
The quickest method to remove
