Captured Bat
Squeaks Protest
Prize Contribution
By Laura Mister, IA
G.eroe We.hjnoton Hioh Seho.

George Washington High School
Twice in q week we have had
a bat In our house. The last
time we caught 1t and inspected
it. He was light gray color and
about the size of a mouse. His
head was shaped like that Of
bulldog.
When we captured it he gave
a series of little squeaks and we
could tell that he did not like his
bondage a bit. In order to give
these squeaks. he had to open his
mouth wide and we could see the
tiny. sharp. white teeth.
He was very clumsy on the floor
because his wings got in the way
and his knees bent backwards.
The thin skin of his wings was
stretched on the very long, slim
bones of his forearms and fingers.
His thumbs formed little claws
which extended from the front
edge Of the wings. The wings also
extended along his sides and
fastened to his hind legs.
His flight appeared wobbly and
we blamed this on his lack of a
tail. Bats prefer to ny at night
and rest in the daytime. They
are the only mammals equipped
for flight and also the only ones
with built-in "radar." This COM
bines his extremely high-pitched
squeak and his acute sense of
hearing.
BY living on harmful insects, he
Is very useful to man.

Girl Has Pen Pal
Writing in Holland
Prf1e LONIrIbNffON
By Isobel Morkwood, II
Ben Mureh School


have been writing to a Dutch
girl for over a year. Her name is
Hanneke Brack. She is is and
lives in Utercht. Holland.
My father met her father in the
Department of Commerce (my
father works there) and her father
said he has a daughter who en-
joys writing English. and that
she would like very much to write
to me.
She has sent me many interest
ing pictures of the bulb fields and
also q picture of her Queen.
Juliana. Best Of all she has sent
me a Dutch calendar with pic
lures of Dutch folk costumes. I
have sent her pictures of Wash
ington, D. c., and the pictures and
newspaper accounts of the presi-
Dental Inauguration.
A few weeks ago she asked me in
her letter to send her picture
of Cornell Wilde. Her favorite
movie stars are Claudette Colbert
and Cornell Wilde.
She sent me a picture of herself
and also many Dutch stamps. I
have sent her the same. She plays
the piano and so do I.
She is a very interesting pen
pal. Writing to foreign people
gives one a broader knowledge of
the habits and life in foreign
countries.

Heavy Use of DDT
Retards Some Plants

Tests conducted at the Plant
Industry Station at Beltsville in
dicate that as little as Is pounds
of technical Goo per cent? DDT
per acre in the soil is detrimental
to the growth of some kinds of
plants.
The DDT was placed in the soil
three years ago, none has been
added since and crops have been
planted each season to note the
effects, If any. on plant growth.
Many kinds Of plants are appar-
emily unaffected by the DDT in
the soil, but some kinds are stunted
and of reduced vigor. Apparently
some varieties Of a given kind are
more subject to injury than others.
1t will take more time to deter
mine what kinds and varieties are
most likely to lose vigor and pro-
ductiveness and those that are
unaffected. Meantime it would
seem desirable to use this potent
insecticide, with discretion or
growers may be unable to produce
certain crops in a DDT-laden soil.

Life in the Country: Guinea Eggs Hatch

as a pair of twins ended up in a
freak. And this small error. I'm
sure unnoticed in the great
scheme Of Nature, has posed US
with problem.
What shall we do-let 1t live
as it is, for 1t seems healthy
enough. or shall we dispose of
Natures mistake, thus leaving
only the fittest to, survive? AL
though I dislike the sight of NAL
formed creatures. there is a
temptation to leave this little
matter to Nature and to observe
how. in time, she will correct her
error.
Hay is being made all about me
these hot. sultry days. and I am
glad that mine will not come on
until September. Although
should like to have hay in the
barn now. it is very pleasant to
be able to put off. with a good ex-
cuse. an unpleasantly hot job.
Up behind me. Tweed Howser
has been making hay like whirl-
wind. I had an idea, but it didn t
work out very we'll. I thought
would clean a road down through
my back field to my barn, and
that Tweed, having almost filled
his own barns, might be tempted
by the shelter my barn would pro-
vide, and haul in a few loads.
Didn't work, though, for I no
tice that instead of taking the
short cut to my barn. he con-
tinues to go the roundabout way
to his own.
At least I got one satisfaction
out of Tweed's haymaking. He
had looked with mild contempt
for some time at my small trac-
tor until the other day his big job
broke down and he came after
mine to finish cutting field OF
Ladino clover and timothy.
His horse mower wouldn't 60
through it, and he had doubts
that mine would. either, but it did,
and Tweed had to take back some
of the things he had said about
my tractor.

A setting OF guinea eggs that
had been resting quietly under a
hen in the barn Matched unex-
pectedly the other day and threw
us into several hours of feverish
activity. They practically few
from the eggs. almost like quail.
and we pulled guinea keets out
of dark corners and crevasses all
over the place.
We should have remembered
when the eggs were due to hatch,
but like most things on our 40
acres, this date just slipped up
on us. AS always, we had no place
to put the hen and keets, because
it takes a special pen of small
wire to hold them. Finally. we
solved our problem by routing a
flock OF geese from their house
and putting the new family there
There are bound to be freaks on
any farm, and we have just had
our first one. One of our new
guineas has four legs. A strange
looking creature it Is. too. When
I first saw it. I thought something
was wrong with its legs. But,

SpseIoI pispateh 10 The Stor

BERRYVuLE, Va.-Jim Wolfe
who manages Oliveboy Farm that
juts from Clarke County into JET
ferson County, w. Va. never had
any trouble growing either grass
or white faced Herefords on his
1000 acres.
Jim came from Southwest Vir-
ginia where grass is natural. In
his native country farmers used to
finish off 1,800-pound steers on
the succulent bluegrass that COW
ers the mountain ranges and val
leys.
Sure, Jim uses fertilizers on his
pastures. but there Is still another
trick he brought with him to
Northern Virginia. He feeds on
the land.
That's the way to make your
pastures. he said. I'VE never
barn feed. We spread the hay on
the land. and then sit back in the
spring and watch the grass come
on"
Each summer Jim puts the corn
grown on 140 acres into five silos,
and bales alfalfa, timothy and clo-
yer hay from about $50 acres.
That is what his $40 head of pure
bred Herefords eat during the
winter.
Little Grain Fed to Stock.
There is little or no grain feed
ing at Oliveboy. Not necessary,
Jim thinks. You don't need to
get your COWS and calves too fat.
They don't do so we'll then.
Jim is growing some bronze
grass, too. and likes it fine. Last
winter one field Of bronze graZed

a part Of his herd almost until
Christmas. That's not bad in
this section," he said.
Oliveboy, under Jims manage
ment, has pulled itself up by its
own bootstraps, so to speak. After
the foundation herd of Is cows
was purchased from C. A. Smith. a
West Virginia breeder, in 1886. the
farm has just about paid for its
increases.
There is a list of sires that have
built the Oliveboy herd like reg
lister of Hereford royalty-H.
Oliveboy, jr.. grandson of Wood
ford Domino Sd. register Of merit
bull; another grandson of w. H. r.
Princeps Mixer, and two years ago
Jim bought a polled Hereford,
Superior Domino. 9th. a grand
son of the register of merit bull,
Real Domino. 51st.
Trend Toward Polled Herd.
What about a polled herd? Jim
said it may be that Oliveboy will
move in that direction. 1t seems
to be the trend nowadays.
Jim places lots of his purebred
calves with All Club members.
and is proud of the records they
have made. Last year at the
Eastern National Show. for ex-
ample, three Oliveboy-bred calves
were among the first five.
There is one sure way to tell
where you are going in this cattle
game" Jim said. When you see
that you are getting calves that
are just a little better than either
their sire or dam, then you know
you are making progress.
That is the measure we use
here at OliyebOy.' j. B.

This Week in the Garden

Sowing seeds now is more Of a
problem than in early spring.
Plant a bit deeper, perhaps in the
bottom of a furrow that will be
filled in after growth has started.
The soil is warmer and drier now.
and, If the seeds are to receive
sufficient moisture to germinate
and grow.V they must be placed
where the soil is moist. One way
to avoid deep planting is to keep
the surface moist by sprinkling, or
better still, by covering with q
board or some mulching material
until termination has taken place
Remove board or mulching ma
terial as soon as the seedlings
break through the soil.
