ing has been an enjoyable diversion
of Horse Heaven farmers and their
friends the last week. Dutch Staley,
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. man,
so far this season has had to admit
the elusiveness of the goose but he
did bag a beautiful coyote Saturday
evening. He tells a true tale of
shooting the animal squarely be-
tween the eyes. Since then, because
of the weather or Dutch's broadcast
ing, the geese have deserted the

BY LILLIAN cox AT1EY.

Here is another pine that has
accomplished much for man. 1t
has not been heralded as beautiful
tree because it is gnarled, rather
irregular in outline, and has short
trunk and rigid, rough branches.
1t reaches a height of about rs
feet. The bark is thick, given to
breaking up into plates that have
deep, irregular f1SSures. The scales
are thin, and the outer bark on the
tree is red to purple.
The wood is light red, rather soft,
brittle and durable. In the spring
the buds, from p to q of an inch
long, are reddish with fringed scales
The leaves are in threes. They
are rigid, strong, and from 3 to
inches long They are a dark
yellowish-green, their Sheaths black
and persistent. The flowers are
monoecious (both staminate and
pistillate en- one tree)-that is, this
pine is father-mother tree. And
the fruits are biennial They are
l to 3l2 inches long, ovate scale
barbed with sharp incurved beaks,
dIlu cover HldIly SeeO CnllQre0. lney
are equipped with wings.
Pitch pines are worthy trees, given
to artistic picturesqueness Each is
In old age true picture of what
the tree has had to battle with dur
ing its many years. The winds have
buffeted them through the winter,
the soaring sun scorched the leaves
IN the summer, but they have man
aged to conquer adversely, though
they are apt to look weary from the
strain.
In their youth they appear cheer
full and ready for any emergency.
They possess a rounded, symmetrical
head, which is formed by the sue
ceSSive whorls of branches. They
are not filled with the black squat
prickly cones at this time, either.
For the cones have a way of hang
ing on each year after the seeds
have long departed.
