woman who has not only asserted an

The American superintendent Of q

YER in the Green Forest they
I still speak of it as the great"
fight. There have been many
~ fights in the Green Forest, but
none like this one Those who saw It,
never will forget it. They still talk
about it. Way up in the Vast Wilder
ness, over beyond the Great Noun
tain, such a fight may occur once In
q great while, but even up there such
. fight would be an event never to
be forgotten.
It happened when Flathorns the
Moose interfered with Buster Bear.
Just why he interfered Flathorns
never has said. Peter Rabbit insists
that it was on his account. He says
that that interference was to save him
from Buster Bear. Certain it Is that
that fight did save Peter. Buster Bear
had cornered Peter in q hole under
an old stump and was busily digging
for him, and had almost reached him
when Flathorns interfered. So per-
haps Peter was justified in thinking
that Flathorns did 1t to save him, but
I suspect that if the truth were
known Flathorns wasn't even think
ing Of Peter. I suspect that he didn't
even know why Buster Bear was dig
ging there. I suspect that as he re-
turned from drink at the pond of
Paddy the Beaver he found Buster
Bear in his way and resented it.
There was no good feeling between
the two, anyway.
Buster Bear was so intent on what
he was doing that he was not aware
of the approach Of Flathorns until
the latter snorted angrily. Buster
whirled. with his lips drawn back to
show all his long, white teeth. He was
snarling, and that snarl was not q
pleasant sound to hear. There was a
growing anger in his rather small
eyes. You see, he had so long been
the biggest of all the people in the
Green Forest, and so the most feared
and respected, that he resented hav-
ing Flathorns there. Here was some
one who was not afraid OF him, and
this he didn't like.
Now when he whirled, snarling and
with sort Of angry cough, he fully
expected to see Flathorns back away,
for as yet he never had found any one
save man who did not fear him. But
Flathorns didn't back away. Instead,
he raised the hair along his great
shoulders, his eyes seemed to blaze
with rage and he plunged straight
Evening star., 1936-12-01

at Buster, suddenly rearing high
and striking down with his big,
sharp-edged hoofs.
Now Buster Bear is big and he looks
clumsy. He isn't clumsy. Not . bit
of it. Buster can move with q quick
ness that is astonishing. He can strike
with one of those big paws Of his with
the speed Of a trained boxer. Though
caught by surprise, he lodged that
first fierce plunge and the marks of
his claws showed red on a shoulder Of
the great Moose. The latter turned to
renew the attack. This time Buster
was prepared. Again he lodged. AS
Flathorns plunged past, Busters big
claws raked him and drew blood.
From then on the fight ragged. with
never a moment of rest for either.
Bushes were beaten down; the ground
was torn up all about: the air was
filled with gruntS, snarls, growls and
snorts. The sound carried far and
soon there was circle Of fearful yet
fascinated spectators. The Beavers
watched from the top of their house,
out in the pond. Lightfoot, the Deer
and Mrs. Lightfoot. wide-eyed with
awe, stared across the pond from the
other shore. Yowler the Bobcat, Reddy
Fox, Old Man Coyote, Little Joe Otter,
Billy Mink, all were there. Jumper
the Hare, timid as he is, came near
enough to see. Even the dull eyes Of
Prickly Porky the Porcupine held a
gleam Of excitement as he looked on
from high up in tree. Blacky the
Crow and all his relatives flew ex-
citedly from tree top to tree top,
screaming with all their might. Out
in the middle Of Paddy's Pond Honk-
ct the Goose and his flock crowded
together, with their long necks
stretched high as they watched. Now
and then they honked from sheer ex-
citement.
No, sir, never before had such a
fight been seen there in the Green
Forest. Which would win?

the logical and equitable plan for as
producers and distributors of milk in any
Virginia market wishing to come under
the provisions Of the Milk and Cream
Act. The officers and members of the
Virginia Dairymen's Association regard
the Milk and Cream Act and the Milk
Commission as the one court Of last APP
peals in meeting economic distress be-
cause of uncthical practice in any state
market and to their end the Dairmen's
Association has cooperated in drafting
the law and in bringing about its ac-
ceptance in the various Virginia markets.
Dairy Herd Improvement
Greater dairy income depends upon
more efficient production. Higher pro-
ducing cattle are necessary to meet the
ever mounting costs of production, par
ticularly in the face of restricted con
sumner purchasing power. The Virginia
Dairymen's Association recognizes this
need for better cattle and better dairy
methods and il has therefore rendered
unreserved support to the v. P. !. Dairy
Extension Service in the promotion of
its dairy educational program in all
parts of Virginia.

How to Control Them

and top.
The reason for seeding the area and
planting it to trees is to get ground
cover established, since this will help hold
the soil from washing away. The area
is covered with light mulch as in the
other case. This tends to protect the
seeding and seedlings from severe eli
matte changes which may be detrimental
to them.
Gulhes from ten TO thirty feet TN
depth: Use treatment similar to the one
above, although it may be advisable to
use dynamite in some cases in sloping
and it may be necessary to build log or
rock dams in place of the brush dams.
Vines such as kudzu and honeysuckle
may be used on the steep vertical banks.
Vines should not be used OH areas with
trees for eventually the vines will kill
the trees.
Guliies thirty to forty feet: Such
badly eroded land can never be returned
to cultivation. The best thing to do is
to get permanent growth of timber on
such land.

DOINTING out that various meth
DDS are required in the control OF
n the different types of gullies, Off
Gals of the Soil Conservation Service i'll
the southern states have issued these
recommendations
For the small shallow type Of gnlley:
This is form of sheet erosion which
can be controlled very simply. Work
the ground thoroughly either by plough
or disk. Seed to lespedeza in the early
spring and then mulch lightly with
broom sedge. hay, leaf litter or some
such material. Strips of sod may be
used in shallow gullies.
GuHies from frOo to eight feet in
depth: Build small brush check dams at
intervals in the channels of such big gull
lies. This slows up the water and re-
suits in soil particles being lodged in the
brush, tending to form solid bank of
soil behind each brush dam. In carly
spring seed the area to lespedeza and
later OH plant to trees. Plant yellow
poplar or catalpa in the richer soil be-
hind the brush dams, and black locust
and short or loblolly pine on the sides

Dairy Council Promotion
In view of the great under consump-
ton of fluid milk in Virginia less than
o. pint per capita per day., in view Of
the fact that medical authorities recon-
mend at least one quart of milk for
growing children and one pint for
adults, as the basis of a sound healthy
diet and since milk and milk products
surply sses are recurrent in the state, the
Board of Directors of the Virginia
Dairymen's Association and the Board of
Directors of the Virginia Dairy Prod
ucts Association formed joint commit
tee to sponsor and promote State
Dairy Council as a plan for health edu-
cation built on proper diet, and proper
health practices.
