Frost covers the ground. As we go along observing the birds that are willing to make themselves known on a cold morning we are apt to overlook a small, dark brown bird, that flits suddenly under a nearby brush heap, and from that point of vantage begins scolding us. This is the winter wren, who has just reached Piney Creek on its journey to the Gulf States. The date is Octo ber 10. For the last three years the date of arrival of this small wren has varied only two days. We see this wren from now until December; then in March and April we see it as it goes to nest north of the United States. I usually meet with this inter esting little insect-destroyer in woods near a clear, rippling brook, where there is an abundance of moss and tangled underbrush. However, last November I made a quite different discovery of its habits. One cold, fros ty morning, as I was splitting stove wood, I glimpsed something dart into the pile of wood I had already split. I was puzled as to what it was. Creeping stealthily around to where I could peek over the wood, what did I see but a winter wren, creeping about among the sticks, evidently in search of spiders, these making a large part of their food. Of all our wrens, I was thrilled to know that I had gotten so close to the shyest of wrens; becoming as near motion less as it is possible for a boy to be, I waited to seew hat the wren would do. I watched about ten minutes, in which time the wren came to within 3 feet of me, entirely unmindful of my presence. On March 20, 1933, I heard the song of this bird for the first time. Its notes, are very exqui site and melodious, vivacious and seeming to come from the very heart of the singer. It breeds from northern U. S. north to the fur countries. It is said to place its nest in deep moss beside a rippling brook, laying crea my white eggs. The nest is bulky, as is that of al wrens. I have seen this bird dive into a small stream when the borders of it were frozen over. It is remarkable how this wren, only 4 inches long, can travel from the Gulf to the fur countries and back twice a year, but, as Darwin says, some phases of nature are obscure and little known. The old colored farmer was not a preacher, but he could get at the gos pel truth in a very effective way, as the following incident discloses most clearly: A white man asked our farmer friend what church he belonged to and the old man replied: ‘‘Bress Ye, sah, dah’s fo’ roads leading from hyah ter town— de long road, de hill road, de sho’ road, and de swamp road— but when Ah goes ter eown wid er load er grainload er grain dey don’t say ter me, ‘Uncle Calhourn, which road did yo’ come by?’ but, ‘Cal, is yo’ wheat good?’ ” N. C. Christain Advocate FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AIDS CATTLEMEN OF SECTION (Continued Frome Page One.) ment, Congressman Fiannagan said today on the subject of the effort to better the position of cattle owners: “We succeeded in getting cattle put in the agriculture adjustment act in the house .It was taken out in the senate, and as strange as it may sound, it was taken out by the cattle men. I thought at the time that a great mistake was being made, when the cattle men joined hands with the packers and took cattle out of the act. My examination of the represen tatives of the packers when they ap peared before the house agricultural committee clearly demonstrated that cattle should be included in the act. “I think congress should put cattle back in the act, just as soon as we met in January, and until then I think the government should put the minimum price on cattle. I have ad vocated for some time putting a min imum price on cattle in the packers’ code, but have had little encourage ment. If this is not done, many of the cattle men are going to be wiped out financially. “General Johnson has threatened to regulate the price of coal and oil, and if this can be done, why can’t we regulate the price of cattle in this emergency ? To those who shy at price- fixing by the government is not half as bad as price-fixing by the packers, because the price-fixing that is going on now by the packers is absolutely destroying our cattle men. The packers are today buying the best cattle in the world for around 3 1-2 cents to 4 cents net to the cat tle growers, and selling beef steak and roasts for just as much as they sold for when they came out of a 9 cent steer. When such maninupula tions are going on, it is high time for the government to step in and see that the cattle men are given a fair and honest deal.” Correspondence between George C. Peery and Secretary Wallace on the subject of the beef grower's plight dates back to August, since which time Peery has been in constant touch with Washington in all that has been going on in the effort to find a practi cal plan of relief. One of Wallace’s letters to Peery is worth quoting since it sums up the recent history of activities of cattle men in Various sections to discover a workable plan of relief to the growers. This reads in part: “The cattle problem is somewhat complicated, inasmuch as cattle was not. included in that provision of the agricultural adjustment act which defines basic agricultural commodi ties. A number of representatives of the cattle industry are in hopes of ob taining some helpful action under the marketing agreement provision of the law. That possibility prompted the cattle men of the west to call a con ference at Denver on August 14 at which time the situation was discuss ed with a representative of the agri cultural adjustment administration. A committee of five was selected to represent the producers of that area in connection with proposals submit ted to the agricultural adjustment administration for consideration and action. “On September 8 a hearing was held on the so-called packers’ code. The Denver commitee as well as the other cattle representatives attended that hearing and offered sugestions to be included in a marketing agree ment with processors. A committee of the cattlemen also called at my of fice on September 7 and we discussed various proposals that might be adop ted by the administration. It is our hope we will be able to accomplish something for the cattle industry and work out a plan of action for cattle men that wall fit it with our proposed plans for the dairy industry and also with the long-time corn-hog pro gram.” If the plan agred upon by repre sentatives of the growers and pre sented by Senator Byrd to Adminis trator Hopkins is adopted, the gov ernment will enter the markets as a buyer, bidding in the inferior beef offerings and removing them from the market. White Litton’s sugges tion is for the conversion of these cat tle, into non-edible products, it is the suggestion of others that purchases by the relief administration be con verted into food, to be distributed in relief channels. In either case, the government-acquired beeves would be removed from ordinary consumer channels thus stimulating demand for other cattle. Senator Byrd has been extremely active both in correspondence and conference with Virginia growers, and has made diligent efforts to as certain and impress their views as to the most promising method of re lief. So fas as the Old Dominion is concerned, he has led the fight for cattle-growers’ relief. — Roanoke Times. MOUNT ZION NEWS Misses Ruth Black and Madge Jones visited Mrs. S. E.
