IN FIELD
AND FOREST

Since we have been studying the
uses OF various trees we have had
many surprises. When YOU have put
the cork into your ink bottle or any
other bottle you have not stopped 10
think of where 1t came from or how
IL was made. To you II has just
been one of a million corks. And now
you have learned 1t Is the oak tree
that we have to thank for our corks.
Especially is there large harvest
in Portugal and northern Africa.
DO you imagine IL Is an easy task
to get off the cork so that It may not
injure the under layer? First OF all,
the trunk of the tree Is stripped from
the ground to where the branches be-
gin. Since cork will never grow again
on any bruised spot. the greatest care
must be taken.
Two circular cuts are first made.
one at the top and one at the bot
tom, then two opposite Sits, dividing
the bark into two halves. A wedge
shaped tool is then used very care
fully between the bark and the trunk,
gradually working farther in until the
plate OF cork comes off. Before the
two big sheets are ready to be sent
TO the dealer In cork. they have 10
be fiattened and steamed.
Ten years does seem a long time
between crops OF the bark from cori,
oaks. And yet the owners of the
cork oaks have something else gooo
while they wait. for there afe three
crops every year OF aeorns from these
trees, and they make wonderful food
for pigs So you see, the oak trees
have more ways than one Of proving
TO be our good friends.

Lost Art of Friendship
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

OF them with love. but we are
10 intent upon getting on In
the world that we can't waste
any time just being friends.
We consume our leisure run
ming after people who can give
us social prestige. or help US
along financially until the best
years OF our lives have slipped
away: time has gone and We
como 20 realization that the
people whom we have loved
best. we have neglected most.
We have showered our smiles
and our talents upon strangers
and saved only our tears for
our friends We have danced
gaily 20 the piping Of the alien
and ignored tho true heart
beating Rteadfastiy for US
And 40 those PLACID grand
mothers Of ours may have been
moro fortunate than va think.
for tho lived not specifically.
but truly and deeply. They did
not have all the wonderful ac-
tiytties with which we I'LL our
days. but they had time 70 Gull
uvate their friends and enjoy
them.
When old age overtakes us. II
Is not our social trlumphs nor
our pleasures which will bring
us fondest memories but those
few hours when We had the
oompanlonship OF those pititully
few dlsintegrated men and
women who expected nothing or
US but a little time. and TO
whom We did not give even
that
