How To Foil
Bird Predators
i What to do when birds
f arrive and impolitely help
themselves to either the
seeds you’ve just planted
or the newly sprouted
seedfings?
One way to foil these !
predators is to install 1
screening over the seed
lings, just a few inches
above them.
That way the birds can’t
reach under the screening
but the seedlings have
room to grow upward.
It isn’t hard to tack a
piece of wire or plastic
mesh to four stakes ham
mered into the soil at the
corners of a planting. And
it certainly stops the birds.

New Flowers
listed Yearly
Every year in the cata
logs and in the seed dis
plays yea see new varie
ties of flowers. Do you
ever stop to think how
they came about?
The process is a long
one and years of intensive
technical work are in the
background of every new
variety.
Plant breeders make in
numerable crosses, putting
the pollen from one plant
onto the receptive part of
another, growing the re
sulting seeds and observing
the offspring.
Generation after genera
j tion is bred until the qual-
I ities for which the breeder
has done all this, work be
come not only evident but
“fixed’’ yin she new flow
-1 ers. i
This means that there
will be little or no varia
tion in the flowers of the
plants that you grow from
those of the parents that
produced the seeds you
planted.
What are plant breeders
looking for? Perhaps an
entirely new flower. But,
more likely, improvements
or refinements of the pop
ular favorites.
In these they breed for
better and different colors,
more resistance to disease,
to heat, cold and other cli
matic conditions.
Also for better growth
habit, ea.-ier and perhaps
longer flowering and, of
.course, for ever more
flowers on each individual
plant.
Probably
Probably the reason God
made woman last was that
He didn't want any advice
while creating man.

THE KITE
HY MCKKKI.L SMITH
The balmy fragrant
winds of spring soothes
and refreshes as it tender
ly fondles the kite while it
leaps, jumps and prances
about like a girl hops and
steps passing over from
foot to foot.
Like glittering butterflies
they encircle the sky;
some are caught in the
treetops and they rip to
shreds and decorate the
trees like crystallized rib
bons; like falling 1 eaves
some plunge straight down
while others fly on and on
far into the night.
While the bright kite
flies like a tiny shield far
into the sky it witnesses
amusing happenings: like
little Johnny feeding chick
en bones to the dog, or an
angry rogue throwing his
supper out of the window
because it was cold. Cars
that come and go from
house to house; boys and
girls skating on wheels
gliding along until one
falls and hurts his self,
then goes into the house
for his mother to put a
band aid on it; a skittish
horse that breaks and
runs, because he is shy.
The glitter of people’s gar
ments as they blend into a
mass walking from stores
to stores, or little Mary
Ellen at a soda fountain
spending her last penny.
From the little kite’s
lofty height, the earth
seems di m and vague;
stones of flint nibble at
each other from Boy Scouts
in a nearby woods; the
rapping of a drum from a
far away summit.
The kite flies on and on
toward the star sparkling
night, under a trumpet of
dark melodies, into the
hunger of a million soli
tary stars, into soft river
trills of night.
Far into the night little
Johnny’s kite flies under
neath the brightness of a
, glistening moon. A mound
| of turtle shells and animal
! bones can be seen in a dis
j mal settlement. Four-foot
jed animals on bended
; knees guarded by the
: grace of night.
Into the far night it
climbs higher and higher;
into the night of deep
; woods ring with a splendor
i of silence and peace. Some
men’s cheeks are red with
, love; some art hot with
| anger. In the breast of
; night near journey’s end
| you fly the hours away.
; Far below the earth looks
11 ik ea yellowish berry
! coated in a flossy wax.
I In the early morning
j hours the sun turns you a
I cranberry bright and you
i rest in the bosom of gold
:en elements. Proudly in
the yard little Johnny
cries, “I see my kite; it
has lasted through the
night.” While it floats in
' the splendor of an early
morning’s gift.
Over the horizon where
the sea meets the sky, an
angry hurricane hurdles as
in a quick race, the wind
blows like a dog that has
: set on a throne, an ex
' pression of sadness touches
i Johnny’s face, because
I only too soon his kite will
be captured there. In the i
heavens caressed with
crude hands and not a ten
der breath of light; in the
; wind, at the end of the
| string little bits of paper
fell from its frame; rap
: idly it plunged through
i the clouds to the trees
j never to fly day or night.
Close to the light of time
and days it tatters the
: trees with paper and
i frame all the days that
: come and go it will glow
i over fields strewn far and
near. The little kite shall
never be taken from the
little boy, but gaze from a
tree.
From day to day, from
night to night Johnny’s
kite waves at him from
the fragrant arms of an
umbrella tree, shimmering
in tattered rainbows and
resting in the breast of
night and waving in the
beauty of the day—Johnny,
sees his kite every day
>nd every night.
Standing over Johnny’s
shoulder tattered in hang
ing paper his kite will
iive through dust and
wind’s might, though it is
clear never again will it
fly with an eagle’s might.
So deep in Johnny’s
dreams his kite remains
resting securely in the
limbs of an umbrella tree,
resplendent in tattered
riches and always to light
up the sky—to see the un
folding of the seasons—
like a sweetheart in its
bosom it lies.
Questions And Answers About Social Security
Q. I will soon be 50
years old and have never
worked under social secur
ity. Can I receive disab
ility benefits as a wife on
my husband’s earnings
record?
A. No. A wife cannot
receive disability benefits
on her husband’s record.
She may get regular wife’s
benefits at age 62, or at
any age if her minor child
ren are qualified for bene
fit payments. If her hus
band dies, she may be en
titled to benefits as a dis
abled widow if she is be
tween age 50 and 60 and
meets certain disability re
quirements.
Q. I became an ordained
minister in 1968. I would
like to have my earnings
as a minister count for so
cial security purposes. How
do I do this?
A. Your earnings as a
clergyman are covered for
all years ending after
1967 unless you apply for
and are granted an exemp
tion by Internal Revenue
Service. These earnings
are considered self-employ
ment income for social se
curity purposes. The so
