Beauty Of Shrub
Or Tree Is Not
The Only Factor

Almost everyone wants orna-
mental trees and shrubs around
his property to take away the
bare look and make it more at
tractive. But many people don't
realize that good plants have
many more uses around the
home grounds, for example:
l. Plants add to the resale
value of the property we'll
planted and properly maintained
property may have its original
value increased from ten to fiji
teen percent.
2. Plants afford a great deal of
shelter. They give shade from the
hot sun and eliminate much of
the cutting force of strong rains
as they strike the ground surface
They protect the home from the
force OF strong winds. and retain
moisture in the soil for the bene-
fit Of smaller plants.
8. Plants can be used to screen
out unslightly objects or to en-
frame and accent pleasing views
or garden features.
4. Plants help us to secure
privacy by providing eye-pleasing
barriers. borders and hedges.
5. Plants, can enrich a pleas
ant feature in the garden by
forming a contrasting back
ground for that feature.-Fact

well. With the first sharp weather
the usual fall invasion of mice
has occurred.
We have them all over the
house. and the more we trap,
the more, it seems, we have. We
have invited the cats inside, but
somehow they can't do much
good. Too many things for mice
to get under.
l don't understand how mice
get IN. unless they melt through
the walls. They even seem to
have little trouble entering

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
A Wild Goose Pays a Visit
BY JAMES BIRcHFlELD

We were visited the other eve
ming by lone Canada goose,
who found his way to our pond
just at dusk.
1t is strange, but while we had
domestic geese on the pond. we
never received a call from one
of their wild cousins. Now that
they have gone, the Canada boy
dropped in on US.
I wonder why. I have always
believed that wild geese travel
in f1ocks, ana many a time I've
seen them fly over in their W"
formation.
Could be our visitor was blown
off course, and that he had been,
for some reason, banished from
the flock.
I rather think he enjoyed his
visit at the 40 Acres. For a while
he tried the pond, swimming
from end to end. Then he
marched onto the bank where
he gorged himself with the
fresh, green grass.
He was an unusually handsome
bird. We watched him through
binoculars, and he seemed larger
than the domestic ganders that
we once owned. And his neck
had the graceful bend of swan.
Now that the migration is be-
ginning. maybe we will have
other visitors drop down from
time to time. Having flown over
our place recently. I know that
from the air there are several
ponds near ours that might in
vite the winged travellers. hope,
however, that ours may prove
the more tempting.
Our hawk was upset a day or
so ago by a flock of starlings. For
several years now I have watched
our haWk as ne SKINNED over
the back field in search of field
mice.
On this day. however, he came
too close to the large flock of
starlings that had gathered in a
maple behind the house.
They took after him in a body,
and did not give up the chase
until he was over the woods at
the back Of the place.
AS soon as he was left un-
molested. he glided off to the
adjoining field and started his
everlasting search, up and down,
for mice.
