The plowing match, which was inaugurated in Queen's County last year and which was an un- doubted success, promises to be as good or better than that of a year ago. The-officials and com-

imittee. having gained the experi-

ence in presenting such an attract- ion, have left no stones unturned in their efforts to make the match as good as possible.

And although plowing will be the main attraction of the day there will be other events. An en- tertainin-g sports program will be conducted. other games will be played. music will be provided. and the ladies will serve lunches and refreshments.

Premier J. Walter Jones will of- ficially open the Match at 1.30. three hours after the plowing commences. Other speakers will be Hon. 0. C. Baker. Minister of Agriculture: I-Ion. Dougald Mac- Kinnon. Minister of Public works; Mr. R. R. Bell. M.L.A. and Mr, Angus Maolean, M.P.

WIIISTLEIIS

"Whistle" rather than "sing" is more accurate in speaking of the sound made by many birds. This applies to a number of species whose voices are so absolutely dif- ferent that they could never be mistaken for one another. We talk of the whistle of Whip-poor- wills. Shrikes, Baltimore Orioles. several kinds of Flycatchers. Gros-. beaks, Sparrows, and Warblers.

The call of Brown Thrashers, the plaintive. tremulous note of Screech Owls, and the cry of Marsh Hawks as they beat up and down over a field looking for mea- dow mice, all these might be term- ed "whistles". One of the various. odd noises made by Blue Jays is best described as a harsh whistle. and among the many. curious sounds that come from the famil- iar. city starlings is a. whistle that can easily fool anyone into think- ing a boy is just around the cor- ner.

Two species are actually named whlstlers. There are Whistling swans, so called on account of certain unique "vocal powers they possess. Their windpipes are ar- ranged differently from other biids. in special recesses of their breast bones. But. according to people well acquainted with the loud. high-pitched notes of these beautiful, large. white birds. the name is not apt. Their "woo-ho. woo-woo, woo-ho" is said to sound like that sweet-toned musical in- strument, the flageolet.

Golden-eye Ducks are known to many sportsmen as ”Whlstlers". but. strangely, they have no con- trol over the whistling. The noise is made by their wings cutting the air as they fly. and not by their voices at all. " metimes the pecul- lar. penetrating whistle is heard and recognized before the Golden- eyes themselves can be properly distinguished.

other species whose wings do the whistling are the Mourning Dove. the American Woodcock. and the Wilson Snipe. The .Dove's light whistling is an distinctive that by it the bird may be accu- rately identified. The American Woodcock's outer wing feathers produce a unique whistle as. on being flushed, the bird rises sud- denly from the ground. The snipe makes a sharp, harsh whistle as it takes wing: but when it drops from a height (in some of its love- making. spring antics) the air rushing through its wings sounds more like drumming than any- thing else. We all know that the loud drumming of a Ruffed Grouse is made by its wings beating the air. How peculiar that air passing through wings should sometimes sound like whistling, and other times like drumming!

Are Warblers easily seen?
