MEADOW DISPLACEMENT
New York Herald Tribune

A cold, wet May means a barn full of hay is country saying, and May having carried out it's part of the damp contract, moving ma- chimes are now clicking upstate, while ScytheS trim around fence corners. The green product of May and June is being rapidly converted into that sWeet-smelling, sun-cured fodder which 3 Guernsey will nuz- gle appreeiatively next winter.
 This stripping of meadows where high grass has been making a snelt- CT for various creatures ranging in size and desirability from a mos quito or a f1refly to rabbit or a black racer, has resulted, as always in displacement of these and other inhabitants who have been dwelling since spring in streets of timothy. avenues of redtop and community centerS of clover.
 Field mice who raised families in green security, hidden from hawk or barn cat, now find themselves sud denly exposed to the bright light of U N4S a44N CI4t pCooIDlt dIlGIlUlOH OI a farm collie. Young rabbits are in the same hazardous predicament. flee ing hastily from knives which have been known to sever a rabbits legs And the only meadow residents who are able to slip away easily are gar ter snakes or black racer-the lat ter, with six or seven feet of shin ing, dark grace, being able to loop himself across field with speed which has set a standard in serpent travel ever since Garden of Eden having days.
 Fortunately this displaced meadow population is never caught in a housing shortage. There is always nearby stone wall, a creekside jun gle of alders, a stretch of scorned and uncut sWale grass where field mice, for instance, can be just as safe and happy as in a destroyed Timothy Street home.

Views of the Press

Of the years that saw our world pass through the agony of two world wars.
 MT. White Knew before his death, Mrs. White said that. his letters and papers were going to Washington. He was pleased. So, too, will be those who read them there years from now. For they could not help but be as vibrant, as compassion ate. as full of life as was the man who wrote them. We envy those who will have the privilege of read ing them from the perspective of history.

 Bubbling in him is infectious boyishness Hes surprised at what happened obviously bit nervous about what's to come when he moves into the shabby Governors mansion in Montgomery
 He impresses you as soft clay as of this moment.

 He might become a very effective fellow He wants to be good Governor for all the people of his state He carries mandate of a kind from the plaln people and seems conscious of it.

Cool Weather Hard
On County Corn Crop

UnSeaSOnably cool weather IN
August has retarded growth of corn
to such an extent in Noble couty
that farmers are now pairing their
earlier prediction that this county
would have a near-record crop.
Local grain corn growers also face
the hazard of properly drying a high
moisture content crop, unless warm
weather returns during substan-
tial part of September.
If hot weather doesn't return to
dry corn properly before harvest
time, Noble county farmers with
silos are being advised to cut it into
enSilage rather than tage a chance
on storing the grain under condi-
tions which may cause it to spoil.
Grain growers should leave the
cars hang on the stalk in the field
unless they are prepared to dry the
grain in the bin by means of forced
Ventilation.
Add to this the fact that Noble
county needs rain and the lot of the
local farmer becomes a very poor
one.
