The other day we took a drive
through some of the western
counties and saw spring come to
the rolling hills of Pennsylvania.
The lawns were green and
clipped whether they surrounded
a large house or a small un
pamted one. We saw horses and
colts, cows and calves, sheep and
lambs plus a few goats.
The dogwood was just begin
ning to bloom and the Judas trees
with their red or purplish flowers
dotted the woods.
I felt as though I caught
someone unawares when I spied
a farmer sitting behind his barn,
with his back against the silo. He
was fingering a small branch as
he gazed at his herd of cows in a
nearby field. Maybe he was
thinking of the future, maybe of
the past or possibly just staying
out of his wife’s sight and resting
a bit.

be more equality in this world.
I’m thinking of people who are
too busy and others who don’t
have enough interests to fill their
days. This situation seems to
filter down to the children also.
My children are so busy with
chores, lessons, meetings and
reading the books they love that
shoes go unshined and bureaus
remain cluttered until I insist
they do them.
Over the years we have had a
number of idle children break
into the cabins on our farm Some
have been caught and some have
gotten away. Mostly they are
mischievous and steal little
things.
During Easter vacation Philip
and I almost caught two boys but
they jumped into a boat and fled.
I doubt if the parents knew where
their children were and probably
cared less.
Learning to work early in life
has stood my children in good
stead and helped them through
their college years. It is a joy to
hear our children complimented.
Prune Ornamentals
With A Purpose
Homeowners should prune
only to prevent, correct, or im
prove an undesirable situation,
say Extension ornamental
horticulturists at The Penn
sylvania State University. In
order to do the job well, one must
consider the plant growth rate
and habit, the specific techniques
recommended for the plant, and
the desired end result.
Mildew
Mildew needs moisture and
warmth to survive and grow.
Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension
clothing specialist at Penn State
University, says keeping clothing
and textiles dry, cool, and clean
will prevent mildew formation.
Supervision Needed For
Some Toys
Wise selection of toys is not
enough to insure safety, cautions
the Cooperative Extension
Service Farm and Home Safety
Committee of The Pennsylvania
State University Some adult
supervision may be very im
portant. For example, an air
rifle, archery set, dart game,
sharp knife or chemistry set,
may become dangerous in the
hands of a child too young to
understand the hazards involved.
The committee suggests that
even an older child should have
adult supervision when playinng
with this type of equipment.
Mini-Roses Like High Humidity
Mini-roses like high humidity,
but pots should not come in
to direct contact with water,
reminds W. Robert Fortney,
Extension floriculturist at Penn
State University. They can be
placed on a tray that is filled with
gravel and water.
