     THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT, THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT. Profound 
     
     truth is contained in those simple words. Even very amateur natural— 
     
     ists know that everyone who sincerely starts out to learn something 
     
     about nature will quickly find the rewards flowing back to him when 
     
     he begins to recognize as old friends the flowers, trees, birds and 
     
     mammals.
