GARDEN TIPS
Don't Bury Your Seeds
BY GEORGE QUINT

A FTER seeds have been sown i'll
"A drills, cover lightly by drawing
soil over them with the rake.
DON'T cover with too much
earth, for the tiny seeds will have
to push through the soil, and it
may be difficult if there is a
heavy layer. Just move the rake
evenly, picking up enough soil TO
keep the seeds in position.

Hyattsville Boy Tells
How Baby Squirrel
Became His Pet
Prize Contribution
By Johnny Lourim, 10
Hyot,syitle Elementary School


One day, as I was walking home
from school, I happened to look UP
into tree in my grandmother
yard, and saw a little baby squirrel
He came running, upside down
down the trunk OF the tree.
Grandmother said I could have
him, because she was afraid her cat
might hurt him. So took him to
my house.
On the way, I met two boys. One
said he would give me all four Of his
turtles for the squirrel. The other
offered IS cents. I refused.
The first thing I did was to feed
my squirrel milk from q medicine
dropper. He held the dropper with
his front paws while drinking from
it. He also liked small pieces Of ap-
pies, small pieces Of graham crack
ers, peanuts and pecans. We fed
him these very often.
One morning, I went out to see
him. I found him very stiff and
cold, so I gave him to my mother
She put him on hot-water bag,
and in the afternoon, he was all
right.
Another time, my grandfather
took him around to his back yard
and told me that squirrels like pea
nut butter. He tried to feed him
some, but the squirrel wouldn't
eat it.
One day, at home, some boys were
playing with him, and he got scared
and ran up big tree. That night,
he came down and came around to
the back door. He climbed all over
the screen, trying to get in and get
something to eat.
