The results were outstarl- big! Growers found that, from the use of liquid fertilizer in the row at pleating time their corn got away to a, faster start, developing a stronger root structure that stood up through the dry weather. One of the most important factors for corn growers in using these high-analysis com.,: plete liquid fertilizers, 10-20- 10 and 2-20-18, is that the PTO pump does all the work, There's no heavy lifting.,. and the liquid fertilizer goes right in .the row with the seed at planting. time. Corn growerS spraying their corn with this complete liquid fertilizer have obtained drier corn, with increases• of from 12 to 20 bu. more per acre, The use of liquid fertilizer is growing, and more and more farmers are using these high- analyses throughout the, corn growing areas. It's only a few years ago that these high- analyses were introduced, and farmer are well pleased.

Woods) "You tell Lucy to write a, good stiff article about all the snares that are being set for rabbits! I used 'to feed the rab- bits that came to my garden. Now they've all been killed. We've got to preserve our wildlife! You tell her to give it to there—,but not to dare mention my name!" This was the substance of a message from a woman well- known in the village for her philanthropy in the cat and dog realm, relayed recently to Lucy. She has a tender heart, God bless her! But wildlife takes in all species and Lucy wonders if she would be as anxious to put, out milk for baby skunks. After all skunks have many good qualitiesnif one excepts killing snakes, chickens and robbing hen's nests. They feast on the white grubs which are so destructive 'to grasses and vegetables. They drive out rats. They are pretty, amiable little animals and are said to make wonder- ful household pets—it is- advisable . to have a veterinarian remove their "scent" sacs before suddling them too much! Though at least one ,citizeri of the village likes to en- courage the dear little bunnies to. her garden, there are those who wish them far enough! Take, for instance, the residents bordering on the river valley, Last summer 'there were people who went to all the work of planting, hoeing, and caring for lettuce, peas, beans, parsley, cabbage, etc., in their gardens only to have whole rows cleaned off in a night by Mr. and ,Mrs. Peter Rabbit and offspring.' 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' at 'The Hut' were rather lucky in that respect, but there was Dutch clover on the lawn for the rabbits and 'Mr.' sprayed the beans with a repellent. However, in , the autumn after the garden had been cleaned up a bit, those same 'rabbits ate off all the carrot taps. In the early fall,, young Peter and Floppy scampered about the lawn arid enjoyed the clover. While watching their play from the sunroom 'Mr,' would remark that he was letting them fatten for a good -rabbit stew. And young rabbits stewed, fried or baked with dressing make a tasty meal. But Lucy's spouse did not enjoy such a di-en—they must have overheard his remark. Now that the snow is deep those pesky rabbits come at night and are eating off the roses which ramble on the fences and arch, and the tea roses in the gardeii. Some winters they have overlooked the ramblers but they've never missed a japonica which for, years has 'been struggling to bloom! Next door to 'The Hut' most of the neighbour's raspberry canes have been' cut down. That means no berries next summer. And just think of how much damage rabbits do in or- chards and nurseries! Some 'estab'lis'hments put out alfalfa or leave tree prune ings for the Jacks and cotton tails, But those wee ,beasties just spread the glad news and more and more of 'their kin arrive to feast. This year such rid-bits are buried under the snow. No, Lucy cannot agree that we should preserve ALL wildlife—sbme of each kind . certainly! She would much rather see the rabbits shot or snared by boys to keep down the population of that species, ,than have poison set for them. The latter might in turn affeet burner, beings Or their pets. In fact Lucy has snared rabbits herself in her young day. One season she caught 50 and in another, 55 cotton tails around her cousin's property. In this venture she was joined by a girl friend who caught as many if not more in the same area. Sometimes they ran into trouble when a skunk got caught! But a seasoned trapper, Bob Brown, came to their rescue and dispatched the skunks pairdeSsly before the little animals could advertise their annoyance 'to the world. Fortunately it did not happen often! Lucy and her pal set up a snare line first and foremost for the sport of it. If the boys could set snares, why not the girls? Burt they were not allowed to ramble far afield like 'the boys. They had to get up early and do their line before scheol. Sometimes, if they were late, it entailed eating cold sand- wiches enroute for one must never be late for school! It was interesting to find 'the rabbit runs, etc. (this knowledge bad been gleaned from the boy's), Secondly, 'they did Lucy's cousin a good service—t'at's why she allowed them all around her property. Just imagine, gentle reader, all the damage those rabbits which were caught, besides countless others which never went near a snare, could do to a lovely garden with all Its flowers, shrubs and fruit trees! Thirdly, 'those rabbits kept the meat bill down. If she caught too many at once, Lucy' was' reminded in recent years by 'a man who relished rabbit pie, that she sold the odd one to him for the munificent sum of 10 cents per head. On those early morning Walks through the swamp in all kinds of weather, she learned a great deal about nature. She can Still smell the pungent odour of the evergreens, fern and bracken on a cool rainy morning, or hear the startling Whir-r-r- of a covey of partridge as they rose at her approach. Now perhaps you will consider Lucy hard-hearted. Not at all! Whet she stopped snaring cotton tails, she raised white rabbits, Dutch rabbits and Belgian hares, The first pair of white rabbits with pink eyes were pur- chased for her for the sum of 50 cents and brought home fecan London in a shoe box, abotit Christmas time, by Miss Edith Spackrbain What fun Lucy arid 'her Sister had With those rabbits- before they had to go outside to hatches specially constructed by their father! tut thee rolled on and soon there were 24 rabbits, And that is When rabbit in various recipes corn= ' xi-termed to appear in the family menu, Lucy 'has been reminded more than once by a former school teacher of the delielaus rabbit salad served on. special occasions by her mother. 86 one has to use cominon sense in keeping happy level Whether he in wildlife or amongst domestic animals, That is Lucy's last Word on thersUbjetti Squadron Leader E.
