Hidden Though in Plain Sight
'Iis queer how things may hidden be
When eften they are plain to see.
Hummer

Mrs Hummer.
Feathered folk are very much like
human folk. There Is just as much
difference in them. Some are lazy.
while others are great workers.
very careful. Some do not seem to
care how they look, while others take
the greatest care of their personal
appearance. Some are very, very
fussy about their nests and insist
that they must be just so, while
others do not seem to care what their
nests look like so long as they will
hold the eggs and babies.
Mrs. Hummer the Hummingbird is
ticular. She is very dainty little
person herself. and everything around
her must be dainty. So she builds
the daintiest of nests. Jenny Wren
had told Peter the truth when she
said that Mrs. Hummer's nest looked
like nothing in the world so mucn
the tree in which it was built. Every
little bit of lichen was placed with
the greatest care. 1t looked as II it
had always grown there.
NOW, there are some people VINO
might think that such care and pains
to have everything just so were not
worth while. But Mrs. Hummer
knew better. She knew that they
were worth while. You see, she
knew that the more perfectly that
tiny nest was covered with those
lichens the less likely it was to be
recognized if seen. 1t wasn't hidden
under anything or behind anything.
1t was in plain sight of any of the
feathered folk who might happen to
alight on that branch. Yet it was
hidden. 1t was hidden in plain sight
because it was made to fit so per-
fectly with its surroundings that it
seemed a part of them.
So it was that when at last there
were two tiny white eggs in it. eggs
no bigger than the smallest sized
bean. Mrs. Hummer began sitting on
them without a worry of any kind
Time and again other feathered folk
alighted close beside her. yet did not
see her. You see, she was careful
not to move. Sometimes she would
chuckle down inside. Once Welcome
Robin alighted so close that he could
have reached out and touched her.
But he didn't see her nor the nest at
all. She never left it when any one

present. These latter, agreed to CO.
operate to the fullest extent with the
farmers, as far as they were legally
permitted.
1t was pointed out that by endeav-
oring to set fair price for the spuds
the Shore would be enabled to move
the entire crop and that New Jersey
grasping the significance of the move
ment, would hold off their digging,
and avoid Cutting the market. All
potato sections would benefit by the
concerted action.
The committee offered to the meet
ing the figure of $500 as minimum
price for No. / Prime Irish Cobblers,
and unless that could be secured they
would not move the crop. There was
unanimous approval of this figure
and the farmers voiced Chairman
Hartman's statement, that the pota-
toes might as we'll be left to rot in the
land, as to be put on the market at
prices which would mean exreme los
scs to the whole Peninsula.
A committee consisting of Aaron
Byrd, L. Y. Thornton, J. Norman Be-
lote, James H. Hartman, Martin Hall,
j. S. Matthias, J. Harry Rev was e.
lected, without objections to receive
and fix prices daily upon reports from
the various markets.
Other committees will probably be
appointed to take charge of the. low
er end of Accomack and the upper
part of Northampton; lower North
ampton being near the end of the
harvest.
There will be representation in the
Maryland sections for the Maryland
farmers who were present, stated
they were anxious and willing to stem
the losses, if possible, which they will
also have to face unless they can mar
ket their crop at a living-price.
w. A. Burton gave an Illuminating
talk upon the difficulties the Ex-
changes are meeting this year in the
marketing Of the crop, and due to the
confusion of the many brands and the
poor grading and inferior quality OF
some of the stock he advised, for the
future "Clearing House" for thu
whole crop of the Shore, regardless Of
what agency or Exchange was doing
the shipping. This would mean, that
every package leaving the Peninsula
would go out under one cover, with
the initials of the subsidiary stamped
upon it. By this means great unifor
nifty, quicker inspection, more rapid
checking UP of delinquents and 3
higher standard of product would be
accomplished.
From farmers and shipping agen-
cies Mr.. Burton's plan received COM
mendatiOn.
