doing driving along the edge of the road
pausing frequently to hOOt into the woods like
an owl Helen explained she was trying to
record owls in the area for the Audubon
SocietyS annual Christmas bird count.
She recalls with some amusement that the
officer drove away shaking his head He was
positive he had a crackpOt on his hands"
Helen feels that birdbanding has added
another dimension to her bird lore. In addition
to recognizing birds by sight and sound, she
now must trap and handle them.
You really get to know bird when you
hold it in your hand" she says.
Helen traps her birds in a specially con-
Structed wire cage and also in a fine black
nylOn mesh net, set up like a tennis net be-
tween two poles and standing almost head
high Birds flying into the almost invisible net,
are held fast but harmlesSly.
Just the same. Helen checks her net and
traps frequently to make sure birds aren't
held long. She carefully extricateS each bird
and holds it firmly in one hand while she
clamps small aluminium band around its leg
with the other.
Each band carries a serial number and the
address of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Issued free to banderS, the bands are gradu-
ated in size from 6OilOOO inch in diameter, for
use on hummingbirds (the worlds tiniest bird),
to those big enough to circle the legs of fherOnS,
swans and eagles.

bands taken from birds they've shot or found
supply a vital chapter in the life stories of
banded birds Particularly if they also report
where and how the band was recovered
A quick check of the band number at the
banding office then reveals how long the bird
lived, how far it travelled and where and how
it Jared since it was banded. All of which is
valuable in establishing protective regulations
on migratory birds.
After almost a year as a birdbander,
Helen has gained some insight into bird
personalities Titmice and nuthatcheS, for all
their charm, she finds, are bit too scrappy"
when held. But she says, The cardinals are
the Scrappiest-they can draw blood"
She was surprised to find that the blue
jays, the noisy bosses of the bird world, are
really terrible towards" when caught in a
human hand. And the mOckingbirds," she
adds, lust 60 all to pieces"

Helen's first step in the banding procedure
is to select the prOper-SiZed band for the
bird she holds. Then, with a pair Of pliers, she
spreads the band open, places it around the
birds leg and presses the aluminium edges
together.
She explains that great care must be taken
not to press the band too tight-a slip of the
pliers could crush the birds fragile leg.
She also smOothS out any rough edges on the
band and checks to see that it slides easily,
but not too loosely on the birds leg.
Before releasing the bird, Helen jOts down
in a notebook the band number, the birds

plumage), the date and time of day
This information is later transferred to
special forms which Helen, like all banders,
is required to file every March 81 with the

Sunruy Tomato
Does Well Here

Sunray variety tomatoes have
been raised with singular Sue
cess by the Rev. Norman
cambridge, 6408 Stoneham road,
Georgetown Village, Bethesda.
Part of his success he attributes
to removal Of excess foliage at
the base of the plants to give
strength to the blossoms
Blossom end rot, which is not
a disease but may be due to
excess nitrogen or water, has
been avoided.
The tomatoes are from 6 to
10 ounces each, having a golden
orange color. Sunray has been
on the market for about six
years, grows vigorously, has a
moderate season and is wilt
resistant.
Mr.. cambridge prunes the
plants carefully to keep out
suckers. He stakes up the stalks
which grow to some 5 feet.
Mr.. cambridge achieved con-
siderable publicity a few years
ago for his experiments in
raising oriental strains of
radishes and other traditional
vegetables. II got mail from all
over for some five years because
of an article that appeared in
Popular Mechanics"
Mr.. cambridge is a retired
Iproofreader from The Star. He
is now a Bible teacher and
spends much of his time in the
garden.

We still get gully washers
and once again it reminds us
that we must plan on the
worst, not on the usual or the
average. Many a gardener has
learned this fact from sad eX-
perience. Our gardens should
have protection from damaging
run-off as much as from in
Sects and diseases.
Rain or water damage comes
from two directions. First, the
obvious, is the washing out of
plants and the carrying away
of valuable top soil. This is
especially serious for those
with terraced gardens where
the water pours over the
slopes, sometimes cutting gap
ing bitches in them. The soil
from up above may be spread
over lawn and border below,
but more often it is carried
down the street, involving a
serious replacement expense.
Water in Soils
The second damage is the
unseen one, at least for the
moment. 1t consists of the
water logged soils affect on
plant growth. When this con-
dition persists for "a hours or
more the plant leaves begin to
wilt and hang. A sign that the
roots can no longer supply
oxygen and in many cases
means that the roots are rot
ting and will not be able to
function properly.
This kind of damage is par
ticularly serious on the bull
dozer damaged soils. The soils
thus compacted have very poor
subsurface drainage and heavy
rains Water-log the soils for
varying periods, depending
upon how deep and how much
compaction exists.
Planting holes that were so
labdriously dug in the new yard
fill with water during a rain
or watering and unless the eX-
cess can get out in a reason
ably short time, there is dam
age to the tree or shrub.
Plant Food Loss
There is a third loss from
the gully washers the leach
ing away of plant food. This
one we expect and can easily
replace, but not the damaged
plants nor the valuable soil.
The question then is, what
whould be done to protect the
garden? If there is drainage
from neighboring areas, either
a low wall or ditch can be
built to carry away such run
off. The size will depend upon
the area from which the run
