Old Beliefs Are
Proved Baseless
Schenectady.—Contrary to pop
i ulsr belief, the ostrich does net
: stick its head into the sand when
; frightened or in danger.
Neither does the beaver work
jali the time "like a beaver,” nor
| does <■ bull "see red ' just because,
| a red cloth is waved in front of j
! it.
These popular myths were ex
| pioded here in a General Electric
Science Forum address over WGY
; and vVGr Yl t>y John ft. Saunders
of New York city, associate cura
tor in the department of public:
! education. American Museum of
Natural History.
1 “We can trace clear back to Ro- j
man times the belief that the os-!
trich, when frightened, sticks its ‘
head into the sand,” Mr. Saunders
pointed out. “Through twenty
centuries of time, and in the face ;
of all that is reasonable, millions
of people believe this to be true." \
“Meanwhile, the ostrich goes
about his business, never thinking ,
of sticking his heart in the sand,
living in a land where lions and
other predatory animals are ready
to ac rommodate a bird so foolish.
The ostrich would, in all prob
ability have disappeared from the
earth if it persisted in this sup
posed behavior every time danger
approached. In this case of ’.ird
behavior and man's belief. I leave
it to you to detenr.ine where the
foolishness iit-s.
The naturalist said that • t
"busy beaver’’ does not work all
the time.
The unimai does work to be
sure, ai.d when he docs, he works
hard,” said Mr. Saunders, “but he
also loafs and play., and observ
ers note that he does a great deal
of the- latter. In addition, the
beayer does not use his tail as a
{.iowt'i, nor jit? cirivt* stakes1
with it, or use it as a sled to carry
mud or other materials upon."
With regard to bulls, Mr. Saun
ters explained that they are col
or-blind. "In fact, the scientists
can find support in the statement
of the noted matador, Sidney
Franklin, that it is not the color
but the motion of the cloth that
annoys the bull,” the naturalist
declared.
“Some experimenters have
found that even in the course of a
thousand trials the animal is still
not ablu to discriminate between
two colors,” Mr. Saunders assert
ed.

Reforest 5 Million
Acres, Says Expert
North Carolina lias about 4 mil
lion acres of woodland that has
been poorly cut over and in many
cases burned over to a point
where there is now only a sparee
stand of growing trees. There is
also another 1 1-4 million acres of
cleared land that is idle, with
much of it badly eroded.
R. W. Graeber of State College,
who is in charge of Extension
Forestry, says'that a good portion
of this land should be reclaimed
through the planting of trees. As
matters now stand, these lands
are returning little if any income.
Graeber maintains that a bal
ance should be established be
tween land in cultivation, land in
pasture, and land in growing tim
jber. As a general rule, he says
that trees should be planted on
| idle fields not suited for profit
j abletinnui'l crops or for good pas
ture.
i Large openings in the woods,
where root competition is not too
.‘great, may also be planted. In
the Mcvr.tnins and thi uppci
r when-* woods arc* op§»rt
• or poorly stacked because of gra
ins;. he suggests underplanting*
, of white pine or Norway spruce.
For general planting. Graeber
retoinmer.ds the spacing of forest
trees about 6 by 7 feet. This re
quires 1.000 trees per acre. In re
claiming gullies, 5 by (i feet spac
ing hv* nd.vh'nb^
Farmers desiring information
of what tree seedlings are avail
able for planting, what types are
best for their farms, and other
such information, should contact
the county agent.
Thi' number of infant deaths
plus .'■till births in North Carolina
is tit) per 1.1)00 births; 74 for the
white and 120 for the negro.
More than 2.000,000 men and
women were discharged from the :
armed forces before the end of the
war. This is almost one-half the
total number mobilized during
World War I.
