If you'd like to know more about your animal its racial history, its habits, its food sources, its fears then take another look at its eyes and how they are placed. For some, like the rabbit, the eyes are on the upper corners of its head; for others, like the lynx they are directly in front; for a few, like the crab, on stalks. Why? Predatory animals such as the lynx, bobcat and cougar live by capturing live prey. In their work it is necessary to look straight ahead to spot their quarry and stalk it. Because their enemies are few, side vis ion is relatively unimportant hence their eyes are set well in front of their heads. "Front ability" in fact is a characteris r.i thPir whole anatomy. See, how much of their biography is conveyed? Tn contrast, look at a hunted animal particularly one which lacks powerful teem ana ciaws HofpnH itself. Usuallv it must depend upon flight. With flight, how handy it would be if it could "keep an eye out" for the pursuing foe to make quick side-jumps, and yet be able to see ahead and" watch where it is ffoine."

May H. 1957 Advantages Seen in Applying Fertilizer In Orchard in May Grower tests indicate there are advantages in applying fer tilizer in orchards this month, according to C. B. Cordy, county horticulture agent. Most orchard soils are high in lime, some so high as to cause leaf yellowing, Cordy noted. The continued use of am monium sulfate lowers the pH, which is a measure of lime con tent. This is desirable on high lime content sticky soils. On lighter soils where larger quantities of ammonium sulfate has been used, Cordy said a more neutral fertilizer should be used to prevent lowering the pH too much. Ammonium ni trate and anhydrous ammonia are both good, he said. Light Application Light applications improve tree appearance, but have little effect on yield, according to the county agent. The following amounts are recommended, in pounds per acre on full grown pear trees: Ammonium sulfate, D'Anjou, 1,400 pounds, Cornice, 1,100 pounds, Bartlett, 700 to 1,100 pounds, Bosc, 700 to 1,000 pounds, and miscellaneous, 700 to 1,000 pounds; ammonium ni trate, D'Anjou, 850 pounds, Cornice, 700 pounds, Bartlett, 400 to 700 pounds, Bosc, 400 to 650 pounds, and miscellaneous, 400 to 650 pounds; anhydrous ammonia, D'Anjou, 350 pounds, Cornice, 275 pounds, Bartlett, 175 to 275 pounds, Bosc, 175 to 250 pounds and miscellaneous, 175 to 250 pounds. Since these applications are heavy, the county agent said growers may wish to omit the fertilizer every other year when the trees are in a good vigorous condition. On mature peach trees, Cordy recommended us ing of the same as the smaller amount of fertilizer suggested for Bartletts. Applications on mature peach trees should be made every year. Bus Service Slated To Resume to Lake Pacific Trailways will resume operation of bus service through Crater Lake National park June 15 with daily schedules planned, according to Tom Williams, park superintendent.
