Perhaps farmers with spring crop to cut or thresh think otherwise. But still, when you think how much every other kind of vegetation is needing moisture a good rain would surely do more good than harm. Yesterday I was setting out geranium cuttings — fifty of there — and there wasn't a bit of moisture in the ground. And near here a farmer was taking out old fence posts, four feet down in the ground. He said he could have split the wood and burnt it in the kitchen stove for kindling it was so dry. Part- ner is having his trouble with fences too. He is rebuilding a field gate and a section of fence and of course his main obstacle is also the hard, dry ground. And then there's 'the garden. After a lapse of a few days I went out to pick string beans. I expected to get quite a lot as the last time I looked there were plenty of little beans and all kinds of blossom. All I got was a handful. The little beans had dried up and all the blossom had dropped off. Harvest apples are still fall- ing off the tree but I am pick- ing out the best of them, cook- ing them with the skins on, forc- ing the pulp through a rotary colander and canning the apple sauce. One needs to make the most of every bit of fruit that comes along this year otherwise there will he a lot of empty jars this winter. And it is more than human beings that go short of fruit these days. Have you thought what it means to the birds? So many of then feed on wild fruits and berries. For in- stance, we generally have quite a few cedar waxwings around in the late summer as they love the wild honeysuckle berries. This year we have very few of either berries or birds. :Even the poor little frogs seem to have an unnatural brownish, shrivel- led up appeurance. But yester- day I saw something that was really green -- as green as a tomato worm. It was some kind of praying mantis. Any I had seen other years wore a brown- ish shade but this one was a beautiful colour. This rnalttis was among my geraniums and I took great care not to disturb him because the mantis is a de- sirable insect to have around the garden as it destroys many in» sects injurious to plant life, The mantis is a fascinating thing to watch acid it doesn't seem to mind being ]candled at all. You don't need to he afraid of it either. It doesn't bile or sting ISSUE 37 — 1961 and the average human is too big for it to' eat. It will cling to your finger as quietly and con- tentedly as if it were on the stalk of a plant. The niantis is common in Europe and the tropics but appar- ently it made its first appearance in Ontario about 1914. It prob- ably carte into Canada without a passport under cover of imported fruits and vegetables. The mantis is no ordinary in- sect. It has been connected with various legends and superstitions for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks thought it had supernatural powers and the Moslems claimed the praying mantis, when in an attitude of prayer, always turned towards Mecca—Mohammed's birthplace. In southern Europe it was known variously as saint, preacher, nun or soothsayer and, according to an old legend, a mantis alighted on the hand of St. Francis Xavier, who thereon commanded the mantis to sing the praise of God. The mantis, according to the legend, intoned a very beautiful canticle. Per- haps that legend has something to do with the superstition that for a person to have a mantis alight on his or her person betokens saint- liness or else is a token of good fortune. Well, a mantis certainly crawled over my hand yesterday but, as I don't expect to shine as a saint, maybe it will bring me good fortune instead. In fact, it has brought me good fortune al- ready as since I began writing 'sack Style! Simply stunning sack dress that's style -sure for every occa- sion, launder -easy!

Always dependable this column we have had a lovely shower of rain, so I won't have to carry water to revive my geranium cuttings, It wasn't a whole day's rain but it was cer- tainly a nice refreshing shower. It will make Partner's Scotch thistles grow a little taller. You see, Partner has a thistle project out in the back yard, When he was cutting weeds he left two Scotch thistles just to see how tall they would grow They are now over four feet high. Every day lovely little canaries perch on the sturdy thistle branches and have a wonderful time feed- ing off the seed In fact, they fight over it, The other day there was a battle royal and the bushy thistle swayed back and forth while the little birds fought for undisputed possession. Also in our backyard we have a ground- hog who loves to sit up eating apples. So far Tippy hasn't seen him. The yellow -bellied sap- suckers are with us again and just recently blue jays have greeted us with their un - melodious cries. And we had another transient looking for a meal this morning. We asked him why he didn't try to get something to eat in town, To which he replied: "No good, Town people won't never give a man a meal!" As to that I leave you to draw your own conclu- sions.
