No feeding stuffs are being tin ported to the island, Skomea, which rises gliuritly from the sea three miles off the West Wales mainland. The island‘ is about 800 acre... with no trees or other shelter from fierce winds which blow about it. Yet heifers are bringirg their owner as much as £50 102001 each above purchase price after about 1B months stay on the 1s- land. According to the British weekly agricultural journal, Farmer and Siockbreedcr, soil analyses have provided no explanation. but "e- ccnt samples of growth on the is- land have revealed rich forms of sorrel and campion plants. One theory is that these herbs, usually regarded as having low nutritive value, are stimulated by the droppings of the vast flocks of seabirds which wheel about tlic island and thus gain beneficial qualities as yet unknown to bo tanists. So eager are the cattle to find these weeds that some lose their footing and fall over the 300-l0ut high cliffs. 17 Fires Break ‘Cut In Maine's Woodlands AUGUSTA, Me., Sept.
