J., Boyle Before the grass .became too long We decided that the orchard should be cleaned tip. In fact we have -decided to do that same thing each year dur- ing the pak number of years without a great deal of success. There always seeing to be some convenient excuse for delaying the work until the grass grows too long or else we get too busy with the haying to be bothered with the orchard, Mrs. Phil looks out across the wild- erness of orchard with it's thigh-deep conglomeration of weeds and grass and burdock stalks during each stint- mei' and says with a certain amount of scorn, "I can't for the life of me figure out why it is that other people can get their orchards cleaned up and yott have to, leave ours in that con- dition,;'' I get sorry and plan on clean- ing it op for sure the next year, During the middle of the summer we manage to get the mower out and attempt to cut the grass in the orch- ard. Ilrokett limbs and old wheels and piles of rubbish snarl the mower up, garret hoops left lying around by visit, frig holidaYers. annoy the' horses when they come flipping up from nowhere, The chicken coops with their little patches of trampled grass and cheep- ing chickens seem like villages in the jungle. Brooding hens start up like frightened game birds and we discover nests of either partly hatched or batch.- ed eggs. What a host of amazing things we have found this year in going through the orchard, It seems that a former hired man with a lilting for the juice of the grape must have deposited all his empties at the one spot in a corner of the orchard. When the salvage col- lectors decide they want to help the glass shortage they should come up here to Lazy Meadows. Two years ago in an industrious mood I cut down all the burdock stalks around the front of the farm. Evidently the scythe was hung over the corner post of the orchard fence and it slipped down in the corner and lay there ever since. I looked high and low for that scythe last year and couldn't find it. Mr. Howe will be interested to know that we found a rubber tire. It was one of those tires, considered un- safe in the days when tires were easy to purchase but a real treasure in view of the present shortage of rubber. The children from the city who were out here to visit us last year evidently were playing with it and they ran it off in a corner of the orchard and there it remained until this years his- toric cleaning-up campaign. Old Biddy was discovered with her nest in the bottom of that old, hollow Red Astrakhan tree. She 'was indig- nantly removed, to the horse stable and re-instated at her hatching operations under a bushel measure. Biddy has a habit of hatching for about two thirds' of the required time on a nest and then just at the important time she decides to move on someplace else. However, the orchard is 'cleaned up and everybody is much happier now at Lazy Meadows as they look out at the clean expanse of lawn and apple trees. HURON PERTH FAIR SOCIETIES ANNUAL.
