Uncle Rays Corner

Questions about speed appear In
the following letter which has been
sent to me:
Dear Uncle Ray:
ITO settle query, please tell mo
which birds have q greater speed,
hummingbirds or falcons. Also
what Is the fastest thing known to
man?
WILLIAM SHY"
Falcons can make far greater
speed than hummingbirds, and one
kind is the champion flyer among
all birds.
When we think of their small size,
we can give credit to humming
for their flying. They can dart away
very fast when they want to do so.
Yet they cannot compare in speed
with some of the larger birds.
Among the fastest flying birds
are the golden eagle and the PEREZ
grine falcon. Golden eagles can cut
the air at speed as great as miles
minute. They are, indeed, fast
birds, but they would lose a race
against peregrine falcons.
Peregrine falcons belong to the
hawk family. Tests have shown
that they can make speed as great
as miles minute!
AS to the fastest thing known to
man." we must be careful in giving
an answer. If we think only Of liv-
ing creatures which fly by their own
power, the answer may be the deer
fly" This insect is a speed demon
of the highest order Tests of its
speed which have been made to
date may not be exact, but it seems
plain that deer fly can 60 even
faster than a peregrine falcon for q
short distance.
Airplanes can make greater speed
| than any bird or insect. A bomber
in power dive may travel at rate
of IL or l3 miles minute.
Shells fired from cannon travel
faster than an airplane. In astron-
omy, we find heavenly bodies which
make more speed than any bullet.
A comet rounding the sun at close
range may travel more than 200
miles a second!
! Even that isn't the fastest Of all
| speeds. Light travels 1856 900 miles
a second and no greater speed than
that is known.
Evening star., 1943-12-11

this hardens, the moths lay their
eggs on cotton plants. The cater
pillars feed lightly on the foliage,
but attack the flowers or bore into
the bolls or squares, and eat out all
or part of the contents. One husky
caterpillar may ruin several of these
forms. The infested squares flare
open and soon drop to the ground.
But the cotton bolls attract their
attention most, and If there are not
enough to 60 around among the
hungry brood, they cut of the grow
ing tips of the plant.
The growing caterpillar retires as
pupa for the winter, constructing
cozy cell a few inches below the
surface Of the soil. With the coming
of spring, the pupa will complete
its transformation and emerge a
moth.
Then vast following of valuable
plant consumers will soon be started
on their way. The moths prefer to
lay their eggs on corn so long as it
Is young and available. Corn that
is planted close to cotton field will
receive more attention than the
bolls
The most effective control meas
ures seem to be late blowing, which
destroys the pupae Dusting with
calcium arsenate, as one would go
