Timely Garden Talk
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
You all remember the negro spiritual "Nobody Knows De Trouble Tve Seen?"
That little ditty, in one form or another, seems to be the theme of my correspondence dur

past coupie 01 weexs.

I can't advise against that evil
unless, the grower builds a house
around the tree. We expect some
wind in April, some rainy weath
er, some warm weather and we
nave naa ail we could expect m
this line.
The wind took a few of my
magnolia petals too, but there
are many still standing up rosy
and pert and the cool weather
which followed the very warm
of last weekend is making the
magnolia last much longer. Last
Sunday I feared a quick bloom,
almost over before it began. Now
I have enjoyed a whole week
of magnolia bloom and have
promise of more to come.
The only answer to slues is
bait Bait thoroughly and fre-
quently. You may thLik you have
them conquered "but unless your
neighbor has done likewise you
will soon find a new colony has
moved In. The simplest thing is
to bait again.
If yon are very diplomatic
or if yon don't mind taking
chances, yon could suggest to
your neighbor that he also halt
or present him with a box
of methaldehyde sing bait
Still another method might be
to sneak over and bait his
grounds when yon see the fam
ily leave the house. Bat in this
ease yon might be caught tres

his pets. Most slog baits had
best be pat under something
that will prevent the pets from
getting it However, pets do not
find the attraction in methal

Was It ?
Wise or
Otherwise
By ETHAN GRANT
The subject last Sunday was
that branch of science known as
entomology; or Bugs to you, Mr.
M'Goober. X was truly abashed
by the number of readers who
wrote an, called up and sent
word saying how much they en
joyed it and asking for more. It
gives me distinct pleasure to
thank them all all three -of
them. It also gives me an equal
measure of happiness to continue
the s c i e n t i f i c discourse today.
Zoology, for Instance, or, to Mr.
M'Goober, Animals.
As everyone knows, George
Washington was our first pres
ident We know also that he was
first in war, first in peace and
all that But few indeed know
that he was the first American
ever to own s mole. The
beastie was a gift from the
king of Spain. The incident
started something, for a lot of
donkeys have since been sent
to Washington.
In South Africa there is an ani
mal that never drinks water. It is
called a "gemsbok." The only
other animal that never drinks
water is called a "souse." The
skunk is the only animal known
that will eat bees. The skunk also
has another peculiarity; it will
not enter into physical combat
yet its innocent presence alone
in a given area will evacuate
more persons than an official or
der from General DeWitt
The only sore way to judge
the intelligence of a dog is by
the number of human friends
it makes. Canine experts agree
that the fewer the friends the
smarter the dog. Thus if your
dog takes up with any and ev
ery person that happens along,
the chances are he's just an
ordinary dumb pooch. If the
same principle applies to man
I wonder if it does? Think
I'll just stop speaking to peo
ple. An animal that is half cow and
half buffalo is called a "cattelo."
Even the male, which I think
should be called a "bullo." An
inhabitant of the London zoo a
few years ago was called a
"tigon." Being half lion and half
tiger, it should have been a
"liger." A cross between a squir
rel and a weasel would probably
be called a "squeasel." but a
cross between a mink and a
skunk, or anything else and a
skunk, would still be a "stink."
Before the arrival on the
American continent of Cortex,
In 1519, the Indians had no
horses. Before the arrival of
Kelvin and Edison and Ford
and Eli Whitney, they also had
no high cost of living.
Zoologists say the easiest ani
mals to train are jungle-born
lion or tiger. Which only proves
that the zoologists never tackled
a swimming class, or an ener
getic young baseball team, or a
sleepy class of English literature
students. I don't care how much
the scientists know, they still
have a lot to learn. They also say
that rabbits will multiply faster
if kept in light-colored cages. Do
they think anybody wants rab
bits to multiply faster?
In India they have an animal
called a "xobo," which to also
the name of a jan-band musi
cal instrument Or to that a
"doio?" Anyway, 'tis said both
make the same sound.
You can say whatever you like
about Mr. Darwin and his teach'
ings, but the fact remains that
all animals are natural-born
swimmers except man and mon
key. And both are fond of pea
nuts. Personally, M'Goober and I
think Darwin was wrong. We
don't believe that man evolved
from monkey. We think monkey
evolved from man. If you dis
agree, then consider this: Man's
ultimate goal, or at least his
stoutest wish, is to obtain a state
of complete happiness. Very well,
have you ever seen an unhappy
monkey?
Way back in what is called the
paleolithic age, when the ice and
chilled wmds crept out of the
north,' man comforted his little
woman with warm and furry
skins. , You can take my word
for it that that was a long, long
time ago. M?n will tell you that
he has made great and impor
tant strides m civilized progress
since then. But. the fact remains
that he is still comforting his lit
tie woman with furs, as evidenced
by the fact that more than 30,
000,000 animals are killed an
nually for . the purpose in the
United States alone. Just think
of it, gentlemen!
And - here we again disagree
with the zoologist He states that
the best mink bait is a piece of
scented muskrat musk. I say the
best mink bait is a wealthy raid-dle-aged
bachelor. - Ask- the: girl
who owns one. ' '
"The normal" weight of a baby
elephant is between 160 and 200
pounds. So watch your calories,
boys and - girls. The - greatest
zoological mystery . is ' where ele
phants go when they die. : In
countries where they live in the
wild state, elephants which have
died a' natural death' have never
been found. . You can find out
where man goes. when he; dies
by. reading the. Bibles jf
? ' Among tne 1 a m a war
horses-of history were Washln
ten's "Dolly," Napoleon's "Ma
rengo," Grant's f Jeff Davis'
and Sherman's "Sam," which I
think should nave been called
"SatanV considering what
Sherman said war was. -

The display forms a review of

Each child is represented by one

of his abilities.
Subject matter varies from
high fancy to simple realism,
according to the age and inter

cludes fairies, airplanes, wood
land scenes, industrial centers,
and animal scenes, all rich with
colors and full of action. Four

This is the second radio program
to be sponsored by the Center
