Ile does snake a noise, Of that I am sure, becau=e my robins hear him. 1 can't, but they do. And until America is ready to accept a Down - With - Robins crusade, / don't see much point in being is worm around here. Early oe late, This year a large and capable :obits brought his blushing bride to the maple outside my window here, and they selected the limb right by the sill. They financed a house, the came the eggs and the patience of incubation, and one day the little beaks stick- ing up, each looking like a Sumner Tunnel, and after that the insatiable search for worths, I don't mind telling you it takes quite a bit to subdue one of my worms. They are rugged, developed specially to inhabit the blue clay terrain. Come August, you couldn't stick a crowbar in our lawn - it would be like shoving a toothpick in- to cement - but the worm toots along through it like nothing. I don't intrude; I leave them to perform their clandestine af- fairs. I 'figure if I leave them alone they'll leave me alone, and the last thing I want is worms reciprocating. But this old ronin is equal to them I sit here sawing and splitting the vocabulary, and this Bull Robin is right at my shoulder. I have a good chance to watch him, and I suppose he can watch me, too. Sometimes I could use a little help. But he cocks his head in the other di- rection (that's why they call him a cock robin) and now I know Ile is listening for worms. Bird and worm fanciers may both doubt this, but it is so, You tlnustn't go by birds and worms YOU have known - these are lelir birds and MY worms. What I see from my window is mine. Anyway, he'll sit there a -cock with his little ones squawking in his off -ear, and the other noises of a rural summer are }doing on as usual, The drone of chain saws in yonder copse, the yammer of tree frogs drtmi- tming up a shower, the yak of 'ducks front the pond, the exu- berant cries of children who have found a dog that barks, the riot hubbub of roses a -scent, a'1nd the heavy din of lumber trucks grinding up the highway - all mingled and jingled. In the midst of this some incauti- ous worm in my lawn will make whatever noise it Is that worms in my lawn make. I can't hear it, but my robin does. He launches himself off the limb, flies directly about seventy :fleet to a precise spot, makes a lunge with his beak, and brings tip one end of a worm. There is no chance about it; it happens all the time. At :first, 1 thought the robin was lucky, like a boy finding a cent in the grass, but afterwards I knew that the robin was foreknowledged, and descended on purpose because he was well aware of what he would find. The possibility that it was sight instead of sound occurred to me, but I have evidence to discredit that. Sometimes the pussy cat will stroll across the lawn. If a robin had eyesight to see a worm, he'd have eye- sight to see a pussy cat. But he doesn't always see her. When he does, he'll set up the touse robins with nests always set up when they see a cat. But some- times the cat will get halfway across before the robin sees her. So, 1 conclude it is sound. The worm makes some kind of noise which i; either above or below they normal range ;e of the human ear. It is pereeptible to i•ohin:i. I believe it i+ a low, oniiuna., iti':cured o •i Heyser!, rather than a pi/ ie iui shriek. This is jive suspicion. Hut the robin heave it and attend.i. This robin doesn't have any easy time al it. Just because yon can hear a worm it doesn't mean you own it, '!'hese worms of mine fight back. They are hard to subdue. When the robin fetches up one end of them, the other end is about a foot inside the State of Maine, and they hang on, The robin will stretch one of thein some, and gain, but they frequently re- trench. When they do, they snap the robin ahead so his forehead plunks the ground with a thwack, and often the robin gets punchy and lets go. Then, I seem to hear a subterranean ha-ha, but probably I imagine it, The robin will stagger around some, and seem to have lost his bearings, and will twitter. But I've noticed if my robin manages to last through the sixth round, he'll usually take the fight. He'll have his feet braced like a heifer in the first halter, leaning far back with his head held high, yanking away, when the worm will lose his tail -hold, and everything lets go with a twang. The robin pitches over backward in a heap, and the worm lashes like a bull- whip. Then the robin jumps up and down on the worm and refers to hint in terns I can- not publish here, Then he winds him up for transport. I've been watching this so closely I'm late in my commite meats, but I'ne sure of my con- clusions. I never heard anybody advance the theory that earth- worms make a noise, and if it is important I should like to be the first, - By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor. Abraham Lincoln Loved Gadgets Despite the lack of success of his own venture into the field of mechanical innovation (a de- vice for buoying vessels over shoals), a fair case might be made out for Lincoln as a frus- trated inventor•... , Patent liti- gation invariably excited his lively interest... . Lincoln's bent for gargets was understandable. His father was a competent carpenter and cab- inetmaker, and as a boy Lin- coln helped him in this work. There are letters and accounts of lawyers who rode the judicial circuit with him that tell of his habit of pausing to inspect and draw his own shrewd judg- ment on any new piece of farm machiniery he happened to come across. He was known to have delivered a lecture in 1859, at the Congregational Church in Jacksonville, on thesubject of "Discoveries and Inventions." His consuming interest in the subject was later to prove of great service to the nation. Countless communications were received at the White Houle from inventors, promoters and cranks with sure-fire devices for destroying the Confederate armies. Lincoln studied many of thein carefully, and in a num- ber of instances personally supervised the testing of weap- ons in back of the White House. But for Lincoln's insistence, John Ericcson's Monitor, the ironclad which defeated the Merrimac, would never have been built. On the whole, his judgment regarding the tech- nology of warfare was sound, even though there were occa- sions when his support was en- listed on behalf of contrivances backed by crooked politicians. - From "A.

DOESN'T ANYBODY SIT? - If you look closely, you'll see why this crowd of people Is lined up in fairly precise ranks. They're racing fans standing on the benches at Belmont Park to watch the finish of a race. Nobody stays sitting down when the race is on, After all, is there any reason why a laying hen should sit in a square nest with a flat bot- tom, where slie can kick or push the litter aside and then deposit her egg on a bare board? No reason at all, even though the square nest has been tradi- tional since the jungle fowl of India was domesticated to evolve into the chicken of today, says Richard Lowe, assistant to Su- perintendent Burt Heywang at the United States Department of Agriculture's Southwest Poul- try Experiment Station. • a * On the contrary, it is logical that the hen should sit in a V- shaped nest where she can't dis- place any litter except that right • on top, and her egg always falls on soft straw. Since the "trough -nest" idea first occurred to Mr. Lowe, experimentation h a s proved even mor e advantageous than he foresaw. Q t * There is an initial saving of about a third in lumber. Litter, instead of having to be replaced every few days, lasts at least two months before it is "worn to tatters." The big saving, though, is in virtual elimination of cracked and soiled eggs, a heavy loss in' all commercial poultry esta- blishments. Q 4, 4. Another gain is that it is al- most impossible for two hens to crowd into one trough nest. }tens are sociable creatures and three or four often squeeze into one square nest, where they start fighting for room. To make a battery of nests, Mr. Lowe takes two pine boards one inch thick and 12 inches wide, and nails them together to form what would be half of a foot - square tube if it had two more sides. For ends and separators he nails in 12x12 squares, a foot apart. The "trough," of course, is set on edge. Any simple framework will support one sec- tion above another, clear to the roof of the laying house. This size is for heavy hybrid hens weighing seven or eight pounds. When Mr. Lowe begins to make nests for light White Leghorns, he will use eight -inch lumber, o 4 Q Chatting over the farm gate, Mrs. Lawrence Wehrman, ex- plained wyh her husband leaves his 200 -acre farm at three -thirty in the afternoon five or more clays a week to work the swing shift at Ford Motor Company's plant in a near -by town in Il- linois. He does it so he can buy the labour-saving machinery neves- sary to make farming pay in this day of mechanization. An indus- trial pay envelope is a big help when it comes to raising the $3,500 a man needs for a new tractor plus all the additional costs of farming today. Mr. Wehrman is ane of a number of farmers in that area a•1io have found jobs in industry an answer to the problem of insufficient capital for modern farming, The story Mrs. Wehr- man told me was by no means unique, but it is still novel. Her husband, for the last four years or so, has been working as materials handler for Ford at Chicago Heights, about 12 miles distant. He does his Perm work in the morning, continuing until about three in the afternoon, Mrs. Wehrman, a neat, dainty woman, often helps. "I'nt the hired pian," she says, smiling. "1 run the tractor or move machin- ery or use the disc." a Q 4, At three in the afternoon Mr. Wehrman comes in from the field, eats his dinner and is off • in his car in time to punch a clock at four. He works until midnight. "He keeps real busy," Mrs. Wehrman says. "But usually he has weekends. Sometimes, thpugh, it's a seven-day week. "But you've got to do it if you want a little bit for your- sePi. We don't get as much as we used to get for our corn, but everything we buy costs more. Even groceries. If you sell your eggs for 25 cents a dozen it would cost you 45 cents to buy them back." Mrs. Wehrman's beautiful white leghorns were clucking in the barnyard. She says she doesn't really make money on her small-scale poultry business, if she figures cost of feed, la- bour, and all, but 'she enjoys it. She sells direct to customers and likes her contacts, but most farmers she knows are getting out of poultry because it doesn't pay unless it's done on a big scale. 4, Q A The story of t h e Irving Schmeckpepers is similar. The Schmeckpepers, like the Wehr- mans, rent their land. Their farm measures 160 acres, a small farm in this day of mechaniza- tion, but one which requires al- most as much costly machinery as a larger unit, writes Doro- thea Kahn Jaffe in the Christian Science Monitor. In the mornings you don't catch this farmer at home. He's out as a driver on a milk route from seven until noon, earning the cash needed for his farm. Afternoons and evenings he's working in his fields. Usually he's on the land until dark, but in periods of emergency he stays on the tractor until mid- night. LaRue, his wife, helps. She runs the tractor. 4' * 4r "It's not hard work, it's a pleasure," she told me, She grew up on a farm. "1 used to help my dad like a boy," she said. "My husband and I both grew up on Perms. We wouldn't want to do anything else. But it's hard to make money now. When we bought that tractor it cost $2,400 and corn was bringing $2.34 a bushel, Now a tractor like that costs around $3,500 but corn is selling for only about $1.16 a bushel. The price varies a little according to quality. Some- times, if there's too much mois- ture in the corn, we get less - You can see how much harder it is to make a profit than it used to be," Q 0 The biggest farm - industry operation we have heard of in that neighbourhood is that of Bernard Surprenant, Mr. Sur- prenant raises corn, oats, and wheat on 600 acres with only the help of his 13 -year-old soft, James, and he works the swing shift at Victor Chemical Com- pany in Chicago Heights. et you look at his neatly cultivated corn fields as you drive along the Dixie Highway, you find it hard to believe that all this is handled by a so-called part- time farmer and a boy. Mr, Suprenant's hours in the plant are from three to eleven o'clock, 1;Ie has been on this job for the last four years. IIe owns 160 acres and until this year he rented 280 acres. But to get the best return from his machinery, he found it advisable td rent more land. This year he rented another 160 acres. His machinery is all designed for large-scale lamming. It includes a big diesel tractor and a combine, both costly pieces of equipment. a * Most farmer - industrial work- ers do not attempt to farm so many acres as this. More com- mon is the man who finds his farm too small a unit for to- day's agricultural practices and who therefore feels a need to supplement the family income by taking an outside job. Martin Witte, retired farmer living here, told me that his son finds his 80 -acre farm too mall, j1g alas taken a job in town, cofitind- ing to manage the farm but leaving most of the work to his young son, Mr. Witte's grand- child who carries on with mo- dern machinery the father is able to buy. It is not only in Beecher but in other Midwest farming sec- tions within easy reach of in- dustrial plants that you find farmers going to factory jobs. Census 3igures will doubtless in- dicate a growing trend toward this practice. Everywhere in this area farmers and their small- town suppliers are saying that you can't make grain farming pay unles you have enough land to carry the overhead of a cer- tain minimum of machinery. It is said that a man must have from 250 to 320 acres to be on a sound economic basis. The outlay to equip such a farm is substantial. The equipment list may include two tractors (one Diesel and a smaller one), a five -bottom plow and a three - bottom plow, a wheel disc, a six -row cultivator and a six - row planter, a drag, and a self- propelled combine. List price of the combined list, $19,000 ac- cording to an estimate by In- ternational Harvester. Of course, a fanner gets trade-in allow- ances and such. 1 '14,0 , Mg SC110 1 £SON ley 11P 11 I;. reeky Warren H z'. 1I.8, lsaiah'.s Vision of the Iloly Gond Isaiah 6: 1-10 In this, the first of lire les- sons tf•cni the prephocy of Isaiah, we have an aecoent of his call to be a prophet.

One of the angels laid a live coal on his lips, saying, "Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine in- iquity is taken away, and thy sin purged," In that hour 01 conscious in- ner purity, Isaiah heard the Lord say, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" He responded, "Here am I; send me." One of the fruits of inner eleansin.g is the desire to serve. We are no longer self-centered but Christ -centered.
