Methods Of Handling.
GRASS GROWN WITHOUT SEED
Best Strains Have Been Developed by
Cutting Up Runners From Thrifty
Looking Spots.

Many good turf grasses that repro
duce by n have lost the habit
Of producing seed. and for this reason
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture has been experimenting with
the vegetative propagation Of some Of
the most satisfactory strains of bent
grasses. Better strains have been de
veloped by finding spots In lawns and
on golf courses where the turf was
particularly good, cutting up the run
ners and planting these cuttings in in
"a plots. Most Of this work has
been done In northern states. although
some good strains Of Bermuda grass
have been selected which give promise
Of value In the South.
A number Of commercial growers
have been working IN these improved
grasses and now have cuttings for sale.
However, 1t Is possible for O person
TO improve his own lawn or for a
golf club to improve the turf on the
curse by selecting spots where the
grass Is particularly good and growing
the cut runner in lows In a garden or
field. When the good strain has been
increased sufficiently In this way the
old lawn or turf may be plowed up
and the new strain established.

"WARY GRAHAM BONNER

"We don't stay long with the sum

while We do we let folks know were
about"
THAT is the way to do it," said Mrs.
Kingbird. THAT Is most certainly the
way to do ii.
Il can't understand any reason
which would make 1t sensible of us
TO do anything else"
"Just what do you meaa by all of
that?' asked NJ. Kingbird. "You
know, I'm no scholar"
Neither am l." said Mrs. Kinghird.
Il wasn't very clear in what | was
saying. You know there are some
creatures who like to sound very wise
and who really don't say much of any
thing of any Importance.
But because they would like TO APP
pear important they make speeches
with great, long words In them, and
they look down on any n who doesn't
understand these words.
Foolish and ~conceited, l call it.
And those creatures usually know less
than the ones who're rot ashamed of
not knowing everything IN the world.
Il meant, Mr.. Kingbird, that / have
never seen any reasOn for coming
around where people were and keep
ing quiet about it..
"We might just as well stay where
1t is quiet If we're going to be so
quiet.
We're sensible, though. We come
where there Is a lot OF life and where
there is a lot of going on, and where
there are farmers and their families
and friends.

don't arrive until quite late In the

STORK MADE LONG JOURNEY
Bird Flew From Africa to Germany
With a Message From Exile to
the Fatherland.

The population Of Liskau, Germany,
noticed n day recently that one Of
the many storks which annually re-
turn to the neighborhood from distant
southern zones to rebuild their nests
was carrying something about Its neck
which only human hands could have
fastened there.
Repeated efforts 10 approach the
bird had failed. but one of the VII
layers finally lured the stOrk into his
barn and then and there learned that
the bird carried a little leather case
in which a note was Enclosed. The
note revealed that the stork had come
all the way from East Africa, where
a German colonist, Will Bucha, has
his little farm near Victoria lake.
Bucha must have anticipated that
the bird spent his annual vacation In
his beloved fatherland, so he wrote /:
"Just a greeting to the f~atherland,"
and used the stork to convey his
message.
