has is 'a loved familiar sound. -Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit had found the first dandelion blossom of the spring. and it made him feel so good that he kicked up his heels, and did other foolish things. He acted as I be was crazy. And when Sam- my Jay joined him. Sammy was lure he was crazy. You see Peter said that that dandelion blossom wasn't just one flower, but a lot of flowers crowded together. This was the first time Sammy had ever heard that, and he just

'v didn't believe it. He didn't hesit- ate to say so. Sammy Jay is an who speaks right out.

Suddenly Peter sat up very draight. His two long ears point- an straight up. "Listen!" he eried.

"Listen to what?" asked Sam- my Jay. He was rather put out because of Peter's insistence a- bout that dandelion. so he spoke lather sharply.

"Don't you hear it?" cried Pet- I. and he began to dance again.

Then Sammy did be; it. It was a humming sound. and it seemed to be drawing nearer. "It's Queen Bumble Bee!" cried

Mechanical errors, such as miseountlng trumps. overlooking dsoards, etn., are bad enough, but I is not in this respect alone that average players hurt i'emselvee. One of their greatest faults is in assuming that because they know he ineaden of a oertain card, lei upct adversary, the de- elaru. knows also. la short. they do babel-in-the-wood when I eonsea h anything resembling de- Qln. Ito's a use in point:

South, howeew. the state of affine h hearts. and. not requir- the heart queen as a trick. ruffed h vim the club queen. Vleet Iamely discarded a spade, and now the trump situation was cystal-clear. Certainly, west would have over-ruffed the club queen if he had been able to do an; consequently, he did not have he club king. so, although "per- eeatagas" favored the club lnaeae, the fact that the king had been located made the finesse ab- eurd. and South played directly h the club ace. Finis!

In view of the bidding East had no right to be optimistic about his partner's ability to aver-ruff South. with the A-10 of elubs in dummy and the king in East's own hand, it was scarcely possible that South lacked either the queen or the jack. East's one objective should have been to pro- tect hie club king by allowing South to take the normal finesse. So, instead of returning the third

Peter. "frhat's the most joytul sound I've heard for a long. long, time."

"Hub! It's nothing but a bum." said Sammy Jay.

"But. think. who's doing the. humming!" cried Peter. "Here she comes now!”

Sure enough, Queen Bumble Bee, in her rich black and yel- low velvet cloak. lighted right on that dandelion. and began to go all over it. This was Peierls opportunity. and be made the most of it. "I'm ever so glad to see you!" he cried. "You got here just. in time.”

"Listen to what?" asked Sam- Jay.

"What did I get here in time for?" bummed Queen Bumble Bee.

"To tell Sammy Jay I'm right." said Peter. "Nothing of the sort." lhterrupb ed Sammy Jay. "You got here Just in time to tell Peter he's crazy, and doesn't know what he's talking about." Queen Bumble Bee stopped walking about on that blossom. "From the way you both talk, I think you're both oraav." she bummed.

"Peter says that this blossom isn't Just one flower, but a whole

Did you know that our Queen has won more money on her race horses than any previous British monarch? Her winnings from March 22 to July 17, 1953 amounted to 8103.135.

Giraifes are the tallest of mam- mals. Bulls are as tall as lav: feet from hoof to crown; females mea- sure about 16 feet. An old male may weigh as much as two tone. The inch thick hide alone often weighs more than too pounds. Old bulls like old seals, often battle for herd supremacy.

Most electric light bulbs for the home give 1,000 hours of use. They could be made to last longer, but they wouldn't give as much light.

hummed Queen Bumble Bee.

Sammy Jay blinked. ”You mean it is really true that that blossom is really a lot of tiny ” together?" cried Sam- my. ”That's what I mean.” hum- med Queen Bumble Bee. "and I ought to know. What my family doesn't know about flowers isn't worth knowing. If it were not for flower we couldn't live."

Sammy Jay looked as if he didn't know what to say. He didn't. He just had to believe. If one of the Bee folk said such a craz, nding thing was true. it must be true. He looked down again at the smiling yellow blos- som. and he looked at it as be had never looked at a dandelion before. That dandelion had sud- denly become something very wonderful instead of something common place.

If you saw an island farmer giv- lng his cows a hot bath. ,pIanting weeds in his garden. and spraying his orchard with ground glass distesse germs youid say he was no s.

But that's exactly what they do on a farm near Washington. D. C. Why? Well. its all an experi- ment by men of science to de- termine new methods 'to control diseases. to increase the flow of milk in dairy herds, and to in- crease the crop yield of various kinds of farm produce.

Using well known laws of genetics, plant breeders now trans- fer superior traits from one plant to another. in much the same way as farmers produce a mule by breeding is jackass and a mare. The result is increased vigor. greater yield, and healthier, better adapted crops.

Always remember that each im- provement in the things we eat comes only after long years of ex-

eriment. We are growing crops that yield two to three times as much as they did in pioneer days and in another quarter century the quality and yield will he stepped up unbelievably.
