SLEEPING AT THE SWITCH

About my progress being SLOW

And this is what he said to me:

In de climbin' of a hill;
If de way you am a-trabblin'
Keeps you headin' TO- ditch,

Someone's sleepin' at de switch.
If de crops you keep a-raisin'
Always prove de poorest kind;
Or in place of you a-leadin'

If your boat in any weather
Always wants to roll an pitch,

SOIL SURVEY INCLUDES
HALF OF TILLABLE LAND

During the last 25 years more than
half of the tillable land in the United
States has been surveyed and mapped
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, according to A. G. Nc
Call, of the Bureau of Chemistry and
Soils.
"The finished work of the soil sur
vey consists of soil map showing
in colors the location and extent of
each type or kind of soil within the
area, and report which describes
the soils and discusses briefly their
suitability for particular crops. The
reports also give brief review of

the root rot of cotton. AS result
of this preliminary survey it seems
certain that there is very certain
soil types and the development and
spread Of this disease. 1t is hoped
that a continuation of this line OF
soil study will be of material aid IN
indicating the soils in which the dis
ease will develop and also indicate
the characteristics of types and the
particular field conditions which
favor the spread of the organism re-
sponsible for this disease"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Linoleum, to give the best service,
should be laid over a smooth floor in
such way that it does not buckle,
and it should be cleaned with damp
cloth wrung out of suds made with
mild soap. Alkali washing powders,
strong soap, or too much water, will
ruin even the best lineoleum.
Tomatoes, fresh, raw, or canned,
are good source of vitamins A. B.
and c. This is the reason tomato
juice is often recommended for young
children and even babies. Include
tomatoes frequently in the menu in
one form or another. Try them raw,
stewed, baked, fried, broiled, or
scalloped, or in sauces, soups and
stews.

Protection of Sang Birds

Several years ago there was a
universal complaint that the blue
bird had disappeared from the land
and it was predicted that his cpl
taph was to be written. Then after
season or two of his scarcity,
his grateful return was heralded,
and today the bird is back in its
old haunts and in the supply of
former days. The actual circum-
stances which control the supply
are but partly understood and
science still had much to learn
about the life of our song birds.
The greater number of species
of song birds are far more val
liable and important to civilization
than many people realize. Besides
bringing cheer wherever they may
be, the great destroying power
they possess on insect life cannot
be overlooked. Every species of
song bird should be protected.
Winter finds them in need of food
when SHOWS are deep, and few
hands full of grain, suet or bread
crumbs will go long ways toward
relieving their hunger.
Many species of song birds are
of the migratory family and fly
south when the cold weather sets
in up north, but the little winged
creatures that stay with us the year
round need protection and care.
Why not organize a bird club
among pupils in school and form
an army of crusaders to fight for
the protection of our American
song birds? Building bird houses,
feeding birds and discouraging the
use of the sling-shot, air-gun and
% caliber rifle on the CHEEKY song
sters should be a part of the by
laws of such an organization.
An excellant method to stimulate
local interest in the welfare OF
| song birds is through the medium
of bird house contests. Many chap
ters of the Izaak Walton League of
America sponsor similar contests
in their individual communities
each year. It is a splendid pro-
gram to foster during the long win.

spend much of their time indoors

house contests can be secured

of the Izaak Walton League, 549
w. Randolph Street, Chicago, up
on request.

Sentiment Against Game Warden
Changing

sIt has been many years since
the game warden was regarded
as a pest and man to be cir
cumvented at every opportunity,
says Willoughby Waiting, Chair
man of the Executive Board of
the Isaak Walton League of Amer
lea. MANY of you can remember
mid-winter hunting expeditions
when deer were coralled in some
swamp pocket filled with snow and
slaughtered by the score.
'You can remember when phea-
SAINTS and ducks were killed out of
season with impunity and sold al
most openly in the public markets;
when topic of discussion at rod
and gun clubs concerned only the
methods of destroying more game.
"You can remember when game
laws and fishing regulations were
considered merely something in
vented to make hunting and fish
ing more difficult. This was be-
cause we did not realize what we
were doing. The people did not
stop to consider the effect of this
indiscriminate slaughter on the
future of sport. but happily there
is a change in sentiment. A new
era has dawned.
1.-The game warden is rapidly
coming to be regarded as the best
friend the real sportsman has"
continues Mr.. Walling. People
have awakened to a realization
that if the sport of hunting and
fishing is to be perpetuated, the
laws must be observed, not only by
a few but by all"
"a desire for indiscriminate
slaughter of game and the wish to
harass game law enforcement Of
ficers is giving away to intelligent
cooperation with game depart
ments and their representatives.
interested groups of sportsmen
and citizens are being formed
throughout the country for the
sole purpose of assisting the state
conservation department and the
Izaak Walton League of America
in it's work of bringing back and
perpetuating our wild life.
IT believe that everyone who has
the welfare of the outdoors at
heart should join the Walton
League in it's program for better
conservation. This organization
is the strongest and most recog-
nized conservation organization in
the world today, and this body of
nature lovers urge cooperation
with local game protectors.

ton rather than game destruction "
