Woods) let them eatpickled worms Lucy got out in the car again on Monday after almost three weeks—due to bad joints and bad weather (or should it be visa versa?) At any rate there are •a good many words beginning with the letter "B" vehich cropped up in the afternoon trip to Hensall and back. Lucy is not a "back seat driver", at least she tells herself she isn't. But she does confess toe word of warning once in awhile to her husband lest the speedometer climb too high for her peace of mind. DriVer Sees All Although "Mr." is alert it is surprising how much he sees out of, the corner of his eye while Lucy's eyes are literally glued to the white line down the middle of the pavement. "Field of beans almost ready to pull," he remarked on Highway 21. Lucy looked too late to see them. Then she look- ed the other side and saw water lying on a field. "There's another field of beans almost ripe!" Lucy saw the bit two rows that time. Honey Bees 'Swarming "Look at the soil in that field, shiny with moisture!" But by the time Lucy turned her head it was another field of beans. Near Hensall we viewed a field of that crop, lush and green—"if the frost keeps off it may be a good crop", vouch- safed the retired farmer. In Zurich his sharp eyes spied honey bees swarming around the corner of a brick building. He stopped the car to watch them and decided that they must have gained entrance in a hole somewhere between the bricks. Attic Was Safe Place And that reminded Lucy of a swarm which she saw two years ago on the •Fourth Concession, Stanley Township. They were hanging on a post of her husband's farm fence and look- ed to her like the brown pelt of a groundhog hung on the post, They might even have come from his former home where heney bees had possession for many years in the attic between timbers from which they could not be ejected. Neither could their honey be extracted. But one summer in extremely hot weather it ran down in between the walls into the cellar. After arriving home, Lucy talked to Mrs. J. E. Howard. She had walked on the beach below Marseille and south for a mile, for the first time since the stormy weather hit this part. BEAUTIFUL BREEZY . By BELLCI-(AMBER ATFIELD PERSONAL ITEMS S .

Multitude Of Bugs Everywhere she and her companions looked, the twigs, logs, and even an apple core were covered with little brown beetles which resembled lady bugs, except that they had no black dots. The water was rough. She looked there, too, but only saw a few. Now, Lucy wonders, has some new• plague landed on us borne from their 'natural habitat on Sunday's winds ? And speaking of bugs, while 'Lucy was munching on a cob of corn from the kitchen garden at "The Hut", it suddenly struck her •that there had been no corn borers this years Fair Is Fair - Had the starlings imported from Europe so many years ago to combat the corn borer in the south western counties of Ontario. finally eradicated that pest? If so, then Lucy will not feel so resentful when they gobble up the feed put out for other birds in the winter! And speaking of birds being a nuisance, it grieves Lucy to read in the daily paper that the farmers in Tilbury North Township are asking for government help to save their corn and barley crops from swarms of blackbirds "so thick they almost, obliterate the sun". The blackbirds, following on the heals of a recent army worm invasion which caused thousands of dollars damage to crops, are being fought with shot guns and machines that make noises like shot guns, Men are up at dawn greeting the flocks coming in off the marshes along Lake St. Clair. Man Changes The Menu A great many are red-winged blackbirds which' are not so common in this vicinity. Lucy thinks it a pity the blackbirds wouldn't develop an appetite for army worms, clover worms and all such other pests. But then perhaps, they turn down such sweet morsels owing to man's tactics in spraying. If man poisons the birds' natural food, can we blame them if they turn to man's food? And who knows, maybe in spray- ing for bugs, beetles, etc., we are slowly poisoning ourselves though the fruit and soil crops. Lucy's spouse is of the opinion that spraying of fruit trees, crops and weeds with poison should never have been corn- menced hi the first place as it upsets nature's balance. Pickled Worms Lucy remembers when she was a child at school, Inspec- tor J. Elgin Tom, instructing the classes in dealing with cab- Osage worms, It was to add a tablespoon (or a teaspoonful, Lucy couldn't quite recall which) of ordinary salt to a water- ing can and sprinkle the cabbages. It killed the worms, ran down the stalk and acted as fertilizer for the cabbage. Now a caterpillar killed in that fashion would not be poison to a bird but rather tasty as a sweet pickled morsel is to a human!
