IL you have seen swans swimming
about the waters of a park or 200,
they most likely were mute swans"
OF the eight kinds OF swans in the
world, they are the kind most often
tanned.
The word mute" means silent"
and the mute swans live up to their
name. They seldom. If ever, make
any voice sound while in captivity.
In the wild state, however. mute
swans are reported to make a
trumpet-like noise when they are
feeding AS we see them swimming
about they are slow-moving but
graceful. 1t is their habit to keen
their wings raised while swimming.
The neck of swan is usually
about as long as its body, often a
bit longer. Most swans have necks
about two feet long, but the trump-
eter swan may have neck as rauch
as 8 feet long.
The trumpeter swan Is North
American bird with a loud voice.
When its wings are spread out they
measure from to 10 feet from the
tip of one to the tip of the other.
Trumpeters are the largest of all
swans. They raise their young

members have white spores and a
leathery cap known as the pileus.
The gills or lamellae are hairy and
grooved or split.
The one shown here is the COM
mon one found on twigs and
branches. Some of them are from
one-half to inches across. They
resemble f1uted shells fastened on
the tree bark. Most of these mush-
rooms are beautiful, but they are
not edible. They belong to the
Panus family and are very pros
porous.
The brackets are removable
making interesting subjects for
study. OF course, the damage has
been done when the shelves begin
to show on the tree. It is abso-
lutte evidence that what we see. the
fruiting part, has been developed
at the expense of the host.
Lest one become confused by
names, it is well to get the three
fungus types we'll in mind: The
toadstool, common form; the
mushroom, which means the edible
plant, and the bracket, or shelving
form.
1t is beyond our conception how
vast Is the loss to our forests
through the activity of these
growths. 1t has been conservatively
estimated that bracket fungi de-
stroy about 20 per cent of our tim
Der. Or one out of every five trees
cut for use is the victim of these
wood consumers.
This is how the plant works:
Settling as a tiny spore on the
wood, it sends out a tube to find
an opening so that food may be
obtained. The tube develops tiny
bodies known as enzmes, which
have chemical effect on the wood
substance. 1t branches out, form
ing network of tiny strands in
the wood.
The plant has prospered at the
expense of the tree. The strands
converge on one side of the host so
that 1t may push out to form a
knob. This is the first appearance
of the bracket. 1t develops spores

go far to the north and build their
nests inside the Arctic Circle.
| The whistling swan also breeds In
Northern Canada. In winter it trav-
els southwark, sometimes to islands
in the Gulf of Mexico Its notes
have been compared to those of a

however, sound more like a tin horn
than clarinet.
Europe has several kinds of swans,
one of them being called the
"whooper." All the native swans of
Europe and North America have
white feathers.
The only swans with dark feathers
are those which have their native
homes south of the equator. Aus
tralia has black swans with brown
ish- black feathers) and the south
ern end of South America has black
necked swans.
Odd little stories are told about
swans. An Englishman relates that
he watched two female swans lay
their eggs in the same nest and that
they took turns sitting on the eggs
until the time of Matching. This
plan, he adds. was followed by the
two females for period of three

Hoover For
Food Gar
By GEORGE PECK


Does America need a MscAr-
t h u or an Eisenhower or a
Nimitz to lead i g armies or
navies against the enemy, it does
not inquire as to his political af-
filiation. The ore thing the ma
ton ANTS to know is, do his
ability, training and past perfor-
mances qualify him for that lead
ership.
Our generals and admirals are
doing a mighty fine job on the
battle fronts and on the seas.
Our enemies have not yet been
vanquished but we are on the
way. We know now have the
military leadership, the fighting
forces and the equipment to de-
feat Hitler and Hirohito, with
Mussolini thrown in for a wee
bit of added measure. But We
Are Losing The Battle On The
Home Front because our leader
ship at home does not measure
up to the high standard of our
leadership abroad, Surely, this
is no lime to pay politics-we
cannot afford to leave unemploy-
ed any great leader whose ser
vices are sorely needed, be he
New Dealer or anti-New Dealer,
Republican or Democrat, Liberal
or Conservative.
Our most vulnerable spot on
the home front is the food situa-
ton with its many rami6cations.
The President has said that the
Angel Gabriel couldn't solve or
straighten out the food tangle.
Perhaps not but we knew a hu-
man who could. His qualifica-
tions are so we'll known to h e
American people that it would be
trite to enumerate them here.
We considered it our duty to
divuIge the identity of this indi
vidual. and so. on June Goth ad-
dressed the following letter 70
our Commander in. Chief, Presi-
dent Roosevelt:
by this time it is pretty we'll
known to the American people
! that the food situation, to put it
mildly, is not what it should be.
Your original intention to ap-
point food car to take over
complete control of the food sit
uation, in my humble estimation.
was an excellent one, and l re-
greet that you have either changed
your mind, or have postponed
taking such badly.needed action.
AT the time OF writing this
letter, t he man whom almost
everyone agrees knows m r e
about food than any other one
individual in the world, sits on
the sidelines without berg given
t he opportunity to serve h 8
country in this emergency. in the
capacity for which he is most
ably fitted. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for me to say that the man
to whom l refer is ex President
Herbert Clark Hoover.

that you give serious and prompt
consideration to appointing Mr..

IN The MIDST OF PLENTY

The bung.ing and confusion in
Washington is n owhere m Or e
sharply reflected than in the an
omalous situation which finds the
people OF American cities feel
ing the effects of a shortage in
fresh meat while ranges and lots
have never in history included so
80 many cattle and hogs. The
figures released by cattle growers
show more than 70 million head
of cattle in the United States on
Jan. l of this year, compared
with herds averaging 81 million
before the war and SO million in
the boom year of 1929.
1t is plain to almost everyone
that conflict and overlapping of
agencies charged with control of
food is largely to blame. Giving
power over prices to one group
and control of production to an
other might have been expected
to produce confusion. Obvious
corrective administrative
measures are in order. More
over, regulations limiting packers
to 70 per cent of their 194l kill
for civilian purposes might be re-
laxed. in view of the surplus of
meat animals.
Washington authorities should
lend an ear to the apparently
simple program of adjustment by
supply and demand proposed by
the American Meat Institute.
Under this plan the needs o f
military, civilian, lease, and
relief would be met, in order,
with an available surplus which
could go into reserve. first for
the people of the liberated areas
and secondly for the civilian pop.

Proper Way
To Divide
DahIias
BY ISABEL ZUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

EARLY THIS spring, in q
gardening class that I was
teaching, l discovered that many
members, some of them even
experienced gardeners, did not
know how to properly divide
their dahlias.
One woman said she'd been
dividing dahlias for years and
often wondered why so small a
percentage of her divisions
grew. On Investigating II was
found that she simply had never
heard of the connection between
tho roots properly tuberS)
which merely contain food
stored by last years plant and
the eyes growing on the crown
OF the plant which are the grow
ing tips.
