*'■ • \ — r - Recently, I had a visit from a mother and her grown son. The reason that they came was because I’d told them that 1 had letters that their husband and father wrote to me during World War 11. There were some 60 of them written from training camps in the U.S. and from overseas. During that war, I worked for a farm organization where 90% of For remodeling or new construction g| Gain capacity without sacrificing bird comfort or aisle width Chore-Time Ouratrim Cage Systems are designed to be perfect for remodeling! itmtm DURATRIM-CB Curtain Back You gat mora— room In our top cage for extra bl Note ttie extra wire in partitions, backs and tops ft added strength ULTRAFLO* goei 80 feet per mlnut has a 5 year wan Special wire on ci floors is welded I being galvanized, gives stronger wi and better coallnt one more reason why Chore-Time outlasts other systems SIMPLE OPERATION.

People complain of animals eat ing their garden plants but one does not know how they feel until the same thing happens to you. The other night we went to cover our tomato plants and found no thing to cover. It was dusk and af ter searching I discovered some one-inch stubs. I’d thought that with a lot of cats around no rabbits would dare venture into my gar den. 1 was wrong. On a happier note, our daughter in Texas surprised me with a big bouquet of flowers on May Day. When she was a child living at home, she always picked flowers and lay them at the front door on May first Then she knocked and ran away to hide and watch my surprise when I opened the door and found no one there. It is cer tainly nice to be remembered. OURATRIM-DBS ® Dropping Board and Scraper Remodel with Chore-Time and you can have more birds, better per formance and less maintenance.
