SEEDLINGS

I recall one day, while on an out- door ramble noticing thzit. the whole ground had a greenish cast, in‘ one place. When I examined this spot more clcsely 1 found that this color was caused by a great many almost microscopic plants. There were perhaps thousands of them, some a mere shoot. others a tiny green leaf or erhaps two leaves. But all were cearly "baby" ‘pl-ants in the first stages of growth, each adding its tzuch of color to the ground helping to make the whole appear as though covered with a green mantle. Seedlings they all were, each born of one of the mature plants all about Scme day later in the sea- son the little plant, so tiny now, would be o, tall goldcnrcd. a spread- ing aster, n, stout burdock, a thick- set thistle, a clover, a BUHCTCUP or even a. grass of some kind; a1 oi’ which were growing in pro-fusion nearby, But not all the minute seedlings I found were destined to become a mature plant. Nature does not do things that way. If all the seeds sown by any plant were to germinate and mature we would find the world so over- crowded that life would be impos- sible. Of all this vast host only the strongest, these best favored by circumstances, will survive, and that number is surprisingly few.

We can see is same state of affairs in progress on a much grander scale in any"'wcodlot or forest area, left to grcw in a nat- ural state The tall mature trees of the forest over-arch the whole scene as a canopy. Below, in their shade, the entire forest floor is covered with a dense mass of seed- lings in all stages of growth, from one or two inches to several feet in height, bearing one leaf or many. Little maples, birches. beech- es, oaks and elms are thrre. all reaching upward in their growth gtriving for the light above, each with the aim becoming a mature tree But this is not to be No land could support such a forest. It would be g solid mass of tree trunks. S0. as with the little seed- lings which mat the ground, Nature, in the case of the forest also, is continually weeding out the weakllngs. season after sea- son this prccess goes on. leaving onlv the strong, the healiy. and best adapted to live and replace those above which must eventually pass away.

But dces this not seem a deplor-

able waste of life? Thousands of .

seeds shed every year, germinating into thousands of seedling trees. which last but one, two or several seasons. only to drop by the way- side and perhh. At first glance it would seem s0 But. Nature in as

What a difference between a woodland growing at Nature would have it and many of another type which we see throughout our coun- try! In one we find all stages of

rorwth of trees. the high canopy above all. its ample leaves shielding the delicate plants below frcm the sun's overpowerin rays. and from the direct force o the downpour of rain. Under this kindl protection the saplings, the seedlngs and even the tenderest shoots find shelter and everywhere is sprinkled with a profuse growth of forest wild flowers. And in the other type, the full grown M106. above. and below the bare brown earth. devoid of any seedling growth, irodden into a hopeless barren mass by posturing cattle, or burned barren by headless firec-

BIRD TRAVELLERS

The tourist season ls now on. Al- ready some of our summer guest! have arrived from the south. They have not waited for good motor-in!- nor for the tourist camps to open. 0n their own power, they have come and are makin the best of condit- ions at this ear y date with summer

sweet subdued song worthy of bettor days. l1 there be enough brown earth in sight the meadow lark will be here also, whistling a clear call from the same fields. In the city we may hear any day now the notes of the robin, and in the thicket in some sheltered nook the carol of a soilg sparrow rings out- How sweet these bird-songs sound alter tiie llong barren months of soilgless will- er.

But these are only a few of our returning birds. From now on, ev- ery ilveek, in fact almost every day, will see fresh arrivals. The bright days of later March will find the phoebe, the bluebird and the grackle the iicids and the red-wings Lll the in full swing.

And the water is iiow free enough of icc for the many ducks, the kingfisher and the lisli hawk.

During the month of May bird migration reaches its height. The woods and fields are now alive with bird-life. All the sparrows, the many different species of Warblers, virsos, thrushes. flycatchers are here. We hear a perfect chorus of bird-song and catch a glimpse of the gal‘ plumage of the oi-ioie, the grosbeak and the tanager amid the green fol- iage. The shore line is dotted with the different plovers and salidpipers and the marshes are again populated with the rails and bittcrns, the coats and gallinules, while the many swal- lows fly overhead.

Arid when the sultry days of June are here we call consider that. the birds are all with us and the cares of nesting are taking up their at- tontion.

The spring migration of our birds is common knowledge. But there is another migration which goes on every year as general and on as grand a scale as that of spring, but so silently and unobtrusively that few but bird students are aware of its happening. This southward movement of the birds all over our land in the fall. Clad fcr the most part in the duller plum- ages oi autumn, and often in silence, the entire bird population ivlilcli ar rived in spring announcing its pres encc in full song. slips away along the by-ways unnoticed and are in another clime before we miss them.

Birds are the greatest travellers in the world. Marl Illily make lcng journeys iii far less time bilt molly of our commonest birds travel hun- dreds of miles in a few days. twice a year. and some extend their jour- neys for thousands of miles. And the marvel of bird migration is that not only is all this travelling done un- aided. by iviilg-power alone but in mnny cases through trnckloss spree willi all ulierrillg knowledge of (lir- eaion and the appointed destin- a on.

FAD FOR FEATHEBS

We wish to give all possible P111)‘ llcity to the fact that most of the feathers now being used in 1h milllnery trade are by no means the plumage of the barnyard. Wo- men have contented themselves with the thought that wings and breasts and the innumerable small feathers that go to make up a hat have been roduced from poultry and domesticated birds by skilled ringers to simulate the real thing- This is not the case. If doubt has arisen in the minds of women it has been quieted by the assuranm that. the feather trade is above re- proach Yet we have today 1119 speclacle of the same rope 1h“ took place a generation ago when the National Audubon Association, bird clubs, individuals and promin- ent pilblications took up the fight to save our plumage birds. In the meantime a new generation cf wo- men has grown up and while it musf, be educated all over again there can never be the some diffi- culties to convince tihem that fac- ed their predecessors. The world has grown conservation minded. To know the facts will be persuas- ion enough for them to save the birds
