j Song Birds Most
Popular State Birds
Forty - seven states have state
birds, 32 of them designated official
ly. Sung birds are apparently the
1 most popular, having been chosen by
39 stales ami also by the District of
Columbia. Most favored of all is the
western meadowlark, the bird of sev
en states.
Four states have honored upland
game birds Pennsylvania, the
ruffled grouse; California, the Cali
fornia quail; and Oklahoma and
Rhode Island, the bobwhite quail.
Ohio, the only state to class the
bobwhite with songbirds, has the
cardinal as its state bird.
Louisiana has chosen the brown
pelican; New Mexico, the roadrun
ner; and Utah, the California gull,
to which it has erected a monument
in Salt Lake City commemorating
the gull’s destruction of crickets that
threatened the crops of Mormon pi
oneers in the second year of their
settlement. Delaware, the only state
to go outside the list of native wild
birds, has, by legislative action, cho
sen the “blue hen chicken.”
Find Cucumbers Don’t
Cross With Squash
In spite of what many farmers
will say, tests at the college of agri
culture, Cornell university, have
disclosed that cucumbers can be
grown safely in the garden without
fear of crossing with squash, pump
kins and melons.
According to common belief, if
cucumbers are planted too close to
squash or melons, a cross breed will
result, being neither a squash, a
melon, nor a cucumber, but having
mixed characteristics. Results of
experiments at Cornell have proved
that, although pumpkins and com
mon surrfmer squash will cross
j readily, cucumbers under these con
ditions will produce nothing' but
more cucumbers.
During the tests, several odd and
strange-looking mixtures of flat, long
pumpkins and oval squashes were
grown. Although none of them tast
ed particularly good, they promise
to add variety to any garden, ac
cording to Prof. W. C. Muenscher
of the department of botany.
Costly Orchids
Gathering orchids in steam
drenched jungles is no slight task.
Although there are some orchids
which grow in the earth, the tropical
orchids are commonly epiphytes;
that is, they live on the outside of
trees, but are not parasites. They So
no harm to their host, for they do not
take food or water from the tree, but
only obtain minerals from the de
caying bark. They send out long,
spongy roots which obtain water and
1 minerals by condensing the moisture
j in the air. Since the trees on which
the orchids grow may be six feet
lin diameter, and correspondingly
high, and may also be infested by
snakes and biting varieties of ants,
the orchid collector needs to exer
cise plenty of persistence and in
genuity before he can lay his hands
on the prized specimen.

Rinse Clothes
Many a good wash lady slights the
job of rinsing and then wonders why
the clothes don’t look clean. Soap
left in fabric may make it dingy,
yellow or even brownish in streaks
and may eventually weaken the fi
bers. Ideal for rinsing is an abun
dant supply of hot soft water. Home
management specialists in tests
have shown that rinse water about
as hot as the wash water removes
soap and loosens dirt most easily.
Hot water has the advantage of soft
ening fabric, opemng the weave, and
dissolving soap quickly. When
clothes go from a hot wash
water to a cold rinse, the fabide
contracts and may actually hold in
some soap and dirt. Even lukewarm
water is better for rinsing than cold
water. Rinse until the water shows
no trace of soapiness.
(
Soften Water
Conserve soap and get snowier
washes by softening the water first
--unless you’re fortunate enough to
live in a soft water locality. Hard
water requires extra soap for a good
suds. It forms a scum that clings
to clothes with maddening tenacity
and leaves ugly rings around sinks
and tubs. The “what” and “how”
of water softening are covered in
our leaflet “How to Soften Water
Safely.” Hard-to-wash sweaters and
gloves come out looking like new
with no shrinking, stretching, stiffen
ing or running if you know the cor
rect procedures. Water and drying
temperatures, handling, shaping are
important. Learn the best way to
do these from our leaflet “How to
Wash Sweaters, Socks and Gloves.”
Mosquito Control
Soap is now found to be a control
measure for mosquitoes. According
to a report by the New Jersey
Mosquito Extermination association,
soap solutions are being used suc
cessfully in treating pools and other
still-water breeding places of sum
mer’s most annoying insect.
If soap solutions in concentrations
of about 1 to 2V2 per cent are poured
on still water, the surface tension
of the water is reduced so that the
pupae are unable to maintain their
normal floating position and they
drown. For the same reason, the
egg-laying mosquito can not be sup
ported on the soap-treated water,
and this prevents breeding,
