American Farmer" printed in 1852, he
called it 'I'Ete Sauvage,"a free trans
lation of which would be "Indian sum-
mer." In this essay he said, "After
the fall of leaves, but before any
snowfall, comes rainy period. Great
rains at last replenish the springs, the
brooks, the swamps and impregnate
the earth. Then a severe frost sue
ceeds which prepares it to receive the
voluminous coat Of snow which is
soon to follow; though it is often pre-
ceded by short interval of smoke
and mildness, called the Indian sum-
mer. This is I'm general the invariable
rule: Winter is not said properly to
begin until these few moderate days
and the rising of the waters have an
nounced- it to man."
The origin Of the term, which Is
most widely known, occurs in book
printed several years later than
Crevecoeur's essay. This was DR..
Joseph Doddridge's "Notes on the Set
Element and Indian Wars of the
Western Parts Of Virginia and Penn
sylvania From 1763 to 1888" Dodd-
ridge traces the term back to early
colonial times when Indians still were
a menace to the backwoods settlers.
All during the summer, settlers in
the more harassed sections had to
live behind stockades in constant
dread of Indian raids. When the chill
blasts of winter came on, everyone
breathed a sigh Of relief. No longer
would the Indians attack. The sever
ity of the winter would prevent that
danger
The hemmed-in settlers now took
to the open, going to their log cabins
outside with the joyful feeling of
men released from prison.
1t happened sometimes, however,
that the welcome inclement weather
gave way to few days of unseasOn-
able warm weather. This was called
Indian summer because it gave the
| Indians another chance to wage de-
structive warfare against the cOlOnists
once more.

When the Acorns Drop

There's a whisper on the hilltop
and a murmur in the wood.
There's a dream of golden
glory everywhere;
On the beech a russell cover, on
the elm a mottled hood,
While the walnut lifts her
branches brown and bare.
Oh, the crows hold their meeting
in the old oaks top.
And no, for Indian summer when
the acorns drop!
There's a bloom upon the meadow
like the ghost OF summer
flowers,
But the forest and the. valleys
are af1ame,
And on hillside and in hollow
throughout all the misty
hours
Descend the rustling drops OF
autumn rain,
Oh, the squirrels at his FEAST

And no, for Indian summer when

production is about 20 per cent of
