Our friend, Minnie, told us
a true story about a Sams Val
ley farmer. It seems he had a
fresh cow, but didn't like to
milk her so he told a neigh
bor who worked at field work
for him that the cow gave
more milk than they needed,
so he could have half cf it.
The farmer, seeing no milk
the next day, asked the man
if he had milked the cow, and
was told he had, and that he
had milked his half which was
two teats, as the cow had four
teats, two were left for the
owner.

Army's Atlas
Firing Called Off
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
(UPI The Air Force tried to
fire a full three-engine Atlas
intercontinental missile Satur
day but called it off with sec
onds to go when unexplained
trouble developed.
Earlier in the day a Thor
missile was fired successfully.
The search was called off
for a little white mouse that
was sent aloft Wednesday in
the nose cone of another Thor
intermediate range missile.
Engines of Saturday's giant
70-foot Atlas were roaring on
the launching pad when they
were suddenly shut off and
the firing was cancelled.
The Air Force made no offi
cial announcement of what
the trouble was, but said the
launching would be resched
uled as soon as possible.
One-Cell Plants
Creep Thru Lawn
Albany (UPI) A mys

has been creeping up through
the lawn at the home of Mrs.
Irvine Hood here was diag
nosed Saturday as an unusual
ly large slime mold made up
of one-cell plants.
jPr. Lewis Roth, botany
professor at Oregon State col
lege, said the cells begin mov
ing in the ground after col
onization and, in this case,
moved "out of it." .
The gummy fungus first ap
peared on Mrs. Hood's lawn
two months ago. Finally, she
called city police who turned
the matter over to city en
gineer Dan Lee who called
on the OSC botany depart
ment at Corvallis to investigate.

Is That So?
By EUGENI BURNS
Rangcr-Naturaliit
Amman As we stepped
out onto the beach where the
Jordan empties into the Dead
Sea, assorted ravens, vultures
and other birds flapped lazily
away to the other side of the
delta. They had been gorging
themselves on dead fish that
had foolishly come down the
river to die in the heavy, leaden-greenish
brine in which the
brown freshwater loses itself.
The water is heavy. It
slapped listlessly on the sand
in little, tired waves.
; One . of the leaden waves
pushed three or four gasping
fish onto the sand. 1 1 picked
up the biggest one. It was a
type of carp, about 12 inches
long. I took him over, to the
fresh water and released him.
He righted himself briefly
and headed out into the cur
rent", but not upstream. In no
time at all, he was taking the
same route he had tried a
little earlier.
The phenomenon is a com
mon one on the deltas of
streams emptying into the
Dead Sea. And since death
is quick and inevitable, there
must be some logical explana
tion. It doesn't seem likely the
fish are obeying a migratory
tendency inherited from pri
mordial times when the Dead
Sea was first created. And
there is nothing I can find
to indicate the fish feel the
current too strong for them
and so are swept into the sea.
The Jordan is not so swift in
its lower reaches.
Point of No Return
What does seem a possible
explanation is that food con
ditions in the river may oc
casionally become so difficult
that the fish go downstream
farther and farther until they
reach the point of no return.
Since there is no tide, there
is no brackish interval to
serve as a warning.
This possibility is height
ened by the fact that the Sea
of Galilee is rich in fish
though fished extensively, for
commercial purposes. The Jor
dan, however, is not exten
sively fished. Along much of
its course fishing . would be
difficult. Also5 the v majority
of the inhabitants in the rath
er sparsely.: populated valley
are not especially interested
in fishing. ' .
As a consequence, it could
happen that the river fish
population periodically be
comes overcrowded and ex
pands downstream where
pressure is instantly relieved
by the briny water of the
Dead Sea.
