Nearly all of our fruit and seed
eating birds relish the brilliant red
and purple berries of the staEhorn
sumac. smooth sumac, dwarf Sumac
and small-leaf sumac, and among the
birds some eat the greenish-white
berries Of the toxic or poison" ivy
or poison oak. Assistant Biologist
Beal. in writing of robins in Cali
fornia. has said: Before dismissing
interest to note that seeds of the
California poison oak were not found
in the stomachs of west-coast robins.
This appears the more singular when
it is noted that the birds feed freely
upon other species of Rhus; that this
species is one of the most abundant
shrubs in California, and in full fruit
in the wintertime. when the robins
are there; and that it is favorite
food of many species of winter birds.
AS the seeds of this plant are either
reGurgitated by birds or passed unin-
jured. it follows that birds are the
most efficient disseminators of these
noxious shrubs. This is one evil
of which the western robins appar-
emily are guiltless. though the eastern
robins eat few seeds of the poison
ivy"
Generally the eastern birds do not
distribute seeds of poison ivy farther
from the parent bush than would be
the case If the seeds dropped from
the bush. because SO far as observed
no bird swallows the berry of the
poison ivy, but remains near the
shrub and nibbies off and eats the
waxy covering of the seed.

Notes of Art and Artists

The exhibition of paintings by
Walter. Elmer Schoield. which opened
in the Corcofzn Gallery Of Art yester-
day. is OF exceptional interest. Mr..
Schofield is one OF the sturdiest OF our
American landscape painters. Of to-
day. a painter keenly sensitive to
beauty in nature. whose art is essen
ally.vigorous and robust, Almost in
variably Mr. Schofleld's pictures are
painted out OF doors and present a
subject AS seen at a particular time
under special conditions of light and
atmosphere. effects which are. ex-
tremely transi:ory and rarely re-
peated.
He chooses for his themes not
monumental subjects, not that which
is unusual. but simple, everyday
scenes. which through their simplic-
ity and sincerity reveal untold beauty.
Life is made up Of little things. and
the great moments Of life occur in
connection with those experiences
common to all mankind.
1t is those who have realized this
element OF universality in art who
have produced the great masterpieces.
not merely in literature. but in paint
ing and sculpture. poetry and music.
Mr.. Schofield's outlook on life is SIM
Pile and normal and this finds ref1ec-
ton in his art. To him there is no
document so interesting as the great
book which nature opens before us.
each page OF which presents some
new revelation.
His paintings. particularly those
done during the past summer in Corn
wall, are frank almost to brusQue-
ness, but their fTankness is that OF
one who commands both his medium
and his emotion. 1t is play of light
through atmosphere that gives to the
world of nature everchanging aspect.
and it is this Mr. Schofield most skill
fully interprets in his paintings.
Glancing around the wall of the
special gallery in which the present
exhibition is displayed one notices a
great variety of sunlight. In one
picture is seen the sunlight of spring
in another of winter. in another of
summer. In some instances it is
strained, as it were, through misty
air. in others it sparkles as only after a
swept clean. There is difference
too, in the quality of sunshine ac-
cording to the hour of day. which
painters do not often remember and
which the public rarely considers.
Yet few would say that Mr.. Scho-
fields paintings were subtle. To the
contrary, they are extremely obvious
SuuCtuTduy lHey ere StEoHs. His
trees are well rooted. his houses well
built, his hills have the appearance
of being truly eternal One might
almost say that in some cases he is
inclined to be little too typograph-
ical. certainly at no time does he
shrink from the actuality. of facts
This and it's combination with the
elusive is what gives his work its
chief distinction. 1t is remark
able combination of the material and
hte spiritual. and two are so well
adjusted in their. relationship that
they seem inseparable.

were painted in this country. for. the
most part it is understood in the state
of Connecticut. These have a MORE
toneful quality than those. done in

IN lRDS are among the emclenI
x foresters or tree-planters OF
America. The work they do
cannot outbalance the de-
structive force Of forest fires and
armies Of men with axes. but they
plant hundreds Of millions of tree
seeds a year and reasonable pro-
portion of the seedlings reach ma
turity.. We are under obligation to
birds for much OF the forest area OF
the United States and of the world.
Along old fences in the country stand
long rows of cedars. the seeds Of
which were planted by many species
Of birds. and thirty-six different fami-
lies or sub-families of American
birds have employed themselves in
this important work. Prominent
among these birds are robins, blue
birds, waxwings and most of the
sparrows that winter in the middle
and northern states east of the APP
palachfAns.
Throughout many of the original
thirteen states one can see ranks of
old tall ccdars which mark where old
roads and old fences were. though these
roads were abandoned and the fences
rotted down SO long ago that they
haye passed from the memory Of
mah.
In a bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. written by +. f. L.
Beal, is this: ''The robin among birds
is one of the most efficient dissen,ina-
tors of fruit seeds. While small seeds.
like those OF the raspberry and straw
berry. pass directly through the ali,
mentary canal. larger seeds. like The
stones Of cherries. dogwood, pepper ber-
ries. china berries and hackberries. are
disgorged after the pulp is digested. In
the southern states 1t is common to see
rows of cedar trees along fences where
seeds have been dropped by perching
birds. and lines of trees often mark the
site of a fence which has long since dis
appeared. Seeds that have passed
through the alimentary canal of birds
and other animals do not appear to
have their vitality impaired, and It has
even been asserted that they germinate
more readily than those sown directly
from the tree"

seeds and seeds covered only by a dry
husk which birds eat. are the saw pal

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Do not throw away pumpkin seeds.
Instead, wash them until they are free
from pulp. then dry them and put
them away in cans OK jars. Some
night, later on, when a fire is burning
merrily on the hearth. get out your
pumpkin seeds and you will find that
you have treat in store. They are
fine when roasted. Put the seeds in a
skillet or corn pepper and roast them
over the Goals until they are a light
brown. If you shell them before you
roast them, grease the skillet with a
little butter. When the meats are
nicely Drowned, pile them on a hot
plate and serve them slightly salted.
