WOODS These are veritable "dog days" and if, as some people believe, the weather on the last Friday in the month sets the pattern for the next month, we may as well make up our minds to endure it. Whereas this wet, humid weather has been very bad for haying and grain crops, it has brought the corn on at an amazing rate. Each day Lucy looks out and measures the growth of the garden corn against the old River House Hotel in the background. Carl and Lucy have enjoyed eating it for over a week. -The ',coons sampled a•cob first but it wasn't quite ready so they moved into the barn to be on hand for it. However, Carl sprayed a can of er 'mai repellent along by the cobs. They evidently don't care for it so left the next cob torn down. (The spray has to be renewed after rain.) Last year the squash vines dried up. This year Carl planted more so there is a super abundance. They are Lucy's specialty. Carl doesn't eat them. But he has plenty of green pale beans frozen for winter and the vines are still bearing and the other vegetables are growing well, so we have a great deal for'which to be thankful. The most luxurious growth in the garden is known as "weeds". It seems impossible to control. . Lucy has not been outside recently for the mosquitoes are sitting on the side of the house waiting for her appearance. And Carl does not enjoy getting vegetables as they are in swarms near the hedge and where there is growth of any kind. Even in the barn he has to spray himself with insect killer to prevent them feeding on him. Tibetha, the part-persian car from Toronto is again hunting in the garden at "The Hut" and carrying home moles to her year-old kitten Onza. As long as she sticks to mice and the like, she is welcome. But when she first appeared the robins were in quite a 'frenzied state. However, their young are probably able to take care of themselves by now. Incidently, the robins have given up singing for rain. It comes regularly anyway. The crested flycatchers got their young launched safely into the orld Lucy hopes. They stayed around in the vicinity of the nest for while, learning to catch their food on the wing, Two pair of House Wrens are nesting again. They just moved from ne apartment to another. The males are rejoicing in song. The cardinal is also whistling his mating call. Carl thinks the nest in a thick syringe this time, but the pair became so upset when he "ed to locate it that he left them with their secret. Mr. and Mrs. George Beatty Woods, Toronto called at "The Hut" one Sunday evening recently. They were watching the birds in the garden. Their home is situated in .a ravine and Mrs. Woods was fortunate last spring to see the courting dance of a male Bluejay. Once again we pay a visit to the little town of Mule.. George M. Lazily woke up about 10 in the morning as usual. After fifteen minutes of arguing with himself Whether or not he should pull himself from bed at this early hour he stumbled out of bed, only to crash to the floor. One foot was still caught in the sheet. George wandered, eyes half shut, into the bathroom and there perched on the edge of the sink was an ever-friendly earwig. Mule, just like, most other towns nt Ontario, has a huge population of the weird little insects that look like a cross between a centipede and a crayfish walking backwards. But for some reason the sight of an earwig before his morning cup of coffee was just too much for George. He flushed him heartlessly down the sink. This is part of a popular sport in Mule. The rules are simple. Between the hours when the population rises and when they slump back to bed, everyone tries to capture earwigs and flush them down the drain (it's much less messy' than squashing them all over the kitchen floor with your shoe). You count one point for each earwig you put down the drain and a bonus of three points for every' one you can make stay down. Another benefit of the earwig is the way he helped improve the air pollution problem in Mule. With earwigs around no man dares wear stockings two days in a row or 'the second morning he may find that his feet have company. It's done wonders to clean the air. Downstairs George went now to find the earwigs holding a convention on the kitchen floor. He picked up the morning newspaper 'and sure enough, there was an earwig going over page one thoroughly. They like to keep informed. And so things went for George the rest of the day, at work; at home in the yard, everywhere — including the kitchen sink. But the earwigs of Mule are very democratic. They bother everyone, rich and poor alike. As everywhere, a great many solutions for driving the earwigs off have been advanced, but all have prompted a marching song among the earwigs of Mule which you can hear whenever a few get together: We like the dust, We love the spray; Don't bother folks, We're here to stay. Of course it has become a little embarassing for the people Drawing by Dan Ferguson From Stratford Beacon Herald of the town at times. Like when a local citizen tries to explain to a visiting city cousin that "no, that isn't a bedbug crawling across your pillow" and "no, this isn't the- town's slum area." But unlike many others who just grin and bear it, the people of Mule have turr ed earwigs to their advantage. Enterprising school children off for the long summer holidays, have caught some of the insects ,and taught them to do tricks. They've been doing a' booming business selling them to tourists. Finally, a souvenir that doesn't have "made in Japan" stamped on the bottom. Mr. and Mrs, R. A, Orr attended the Centennial Celebrations at Ailsa Craig Presbyterian Church.
