OF GEESE • —0A Wild geese have begun to use a lovely fat -in pond on Scott's Poultry Farms as a resting place during their migratory flights. At Easter 15 geese stopped over there. Three weeks ago nine other geese arrived and began to nest. Unfortunately rising wa- ter at the time of the big rain flooded them out and they went away. On Saturday morning five more came and rested all day, taking off Sunday morning. ,It is unusual for wild geese to be migrating so late in the season. When the above picture was taken on Saturday afternoon the visiting geese were quietly rest- ing on the island in the pond situated beside the road be- tween farms 2 and 3. They were unconcerned about the occasion- al car or truck passing on the road and a man was working close by. The farm ducks and white geese came and scolded the photographer, but the wild geese never looked up. The pond was dug three or four years ago and is about 12 feet deep. C. W. L.
