annual two weeks vacation at the Plantation. Mrs. 1 on
decided to have a wild turkey dimi??
for her famous husband. She told S
perintendent Gregory to have somcV ly
shoot one for her. Gregory found Mr.
Ford looking over some rice fields near
the home site and reported: "Mrs. Ford
wants me to shoot a wild turkey. Srv s
she wants it for dinner tonight. I’d like
your permission to bring one in.”
Ford jabbed fiercely into the rich, blacl
dirt at his feet with a long stick and without
looking up, he replied, “Well, Gregory, yoi
know we have those ‘no hunting’ signs. If Mrs Ford wants a
turkey for dinner you run down to the store and buy her one
She will never know the difference.'
Deer Problem Solved
Several days later Gregory approached Ford with a ne»
problem. “Mr. Ford, we must do something about our deec

‘no hunting’ signs up but our deer population has reached th«
point where drastic steps must be taken. What do yo« sug

eye across
a crop that produced an income of about $30,00© annually
for the Plantation and in a firm voice he declared, “I
suggest you plant more lettuce. Some for the deer and
some for us.” . .__
One fall day Superintendent Gregory received a telephone
call from the Governor of Georgia who requested perwiissiou
to hunt wild turkeys on the plantation. Gregory promised
the Governor he would return his call in a few minu te*. He
immediately phoned Detroit and explained the Governor 1 *

Our cotton rats are capable of producing several litters
(about 6 per litter) during a season. If not controlled, this
pest in little or no time could make up a heavy population.
One farmer in Missouri reports cotton rats destroyed a lb-
acre stand of sweet clover. They eat grasses, cultivated
crops, seeds, roots and insects. They also eat quail eggs. For¬
tunately, house cats, wildcats, fox, owls and hawks prey on
the cotton rat and hold down its numbers.

The African elephant invariably sleeps standing up. (A
number of people have been accused of the same thing). The
Indian elephant lies down to sleep . . . There is a law which
forbids the use of aircraft to disturb waterfowl in the air or
on the water. The common garden snail has 14,175 teeth
. .
located on the snail’s tongue in 135 rows—each row having
105 teeth. What! No cavities? . . . The rhino’s eyes are effec¬
tive at 50 yards or less but its sense of smell can detect a man
a quarter-mile away. Here is a great spot for a Lifebuoy
comrnei vial. Wonder how the man felt who came home
