JANUARY.
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

Though January's climate varies
greatly in different parts of the
country, the activities of the outdoor
folks are no longer clouded in mys-
terry. Books, radio and press keep
us informed about them.
Florida is the meeting place for
many of our beautiful song birds.
Abundant food and sunshine lure
them to the South, season after sea-
son. Small neighbors from the
north remain in the East. Hospital
ity is eagerly accepted by the cheer
full little beggars.
Grouse have assumed their weird
snowshoes. Bob whites huddle close
together, heads out, under ever
green's. Dried berries, weed seeds
and tree buds solve their food prob
lem.
Heavily furred animals have only
one Worry-food. The Seven Fa-
nous Sleepers now draw on their
reserve of fat. In comatose state,
they await the call of spring
Wolves will broadcast their weird
love songs this month. Bear twins

hooks, tiny flowers are making their
stir toward blooming.
From bare stems and empty
branches torn birdnests are ex-
posed to passersby. Cocoons swing
from all sorts of places, and insect
eggs may be seen on tree bark and
stems. Weed seeds go dancing over
the frozen ground-nature' way of
distributing some of our pesky in
vaders of garden and lawn.
Stretches of pure white snow
make excellent writing pads on
which the outdoor folks leave fas-
cinating messages for those who can
read them. January is a month of
adventure for all those who can
interpret the sign language OF her
children.
