I 12 THE COURIER.JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1965 Much Of It Is Invisible Water, Wind And Man Play Vital Roles As Seed Carriers In Big Autumn Show On all sides, spiraling down from the maple, elm and sycamore trees are these seeds which appear to have wings. Wind-blown weeds and grasses are rolled across the field, scattering seeds as they travel. Some seeds are so very fine and dainty that just a passing gust of wind broadcasts them over a wide area in all directions. Water plays its part in the distribution.

Every rill, creek and river carries within its waters a million seeds, many to be deposited along the way to spring into life. The fresh-water lily bears seeds in a spongy belt filled with air chambers like a life preserver. When the belt finally rots and decays, the seeds sink to start new patches where deer will graze in the future and bobwhites will build their nests in the years ahead. Much of this show will be overlooked but certain parts of it will be seen and recognized. Everyone is certainly familiar with the filmy parasols of the common dandelion as they are blown around.

The silky down of the purple thistle infests the edges along country roads in company with the tiny balloons of golden-rod, aster, goat's beard, willow herb and salsify. And when the weather gets cold, surely no one afield will miss the milk-weed pods as they split open to release the glistening masses of white down attached to flat brown seeds. This is perhaps the most spectacular of the commonplace movements. dispersal of cover and feed so necessary for the survival and dispersement of many species of game and other forms of wildlife. Without this movement of plants, there would be no hunting nor fishing nor nature study.

Untold trillions of seeds must be cast over the earth in autumn in order to guarantee a new crop of the respective plants next spring. Most of this activity takes place in late summer and early autumn. And the plants make great use of water, wind, animals and even man in dispersing their seeds. About the most obvious of these movements are those seeds which catch the wind and ride its currents on sails or parachutes of fine silky fibers. Winds, for example, pick up the seeds of grasses and sedges and blow them for miles to By Bl'RT MONROE Autumn is a season of activity and movement.

Migrant geese, ducks, sons-birds, and numerous other species of birds are departing for greener areas to the South. Woodchucks, chipmunks, mice, and other small mammals are extremely busy preparing for their winter dozing in hollow trees and earthen dens. Monarch butterflies and some other insects are migrating to warmer climes and spiders attached to the ends of long threads of gossamer are soaring far above the earth. Most of these movements are noted by even the casual observer. However, few persons are aware of the tremendous movement of plants which are busiest at this time of the year.

It is this particular movement upon which depends the M'wiV Mil FA jf ft 4 Ex-Card Olsen Is Top 'Homer9 In NBA Games Staff Photo the mud bottom and take root. A striking example of water in the use of scattering seeds is that concerning the bird's-nest fungus. Composed of many tiny one-quarter inch cups, this fungus has many spore cases attached within each cup which is the right size to receive the direct hit of a raindrop. This raindrop tears the spore cases loose and splashes them up to seven feet from the parent growth. Some Plants Shoot Seeds Some plants merely "shoot" their seeds.

Certain natural fibers dry out, shrink, twist, and split, suddenly bursting open and ejecting their seeds with sounds very much like those made by a series of tiny firecrackers. The pods of the common witch hazel explode and send their seeds rattling among the leaves five to ten yards away. This action brought about the name "witch hazel" because years ago many persons believed that this plant was hexed or bewitched. Finally, many seeds just hitchhike a ride on hunters, fishermen, hikers, rabbits, dogs, sheep and myriads of other "carriers," These all have "anchors" and no outdoorsmen has escaped having his clothing filled with burdock, cockle-burs, stick-tights, Spanish needles and goose grass. But he doesn't mind.

He knows that this autumn movement means more recreation for him in the future. Duck Stamp Sales Increase For the third successive year, the sale ENROLLED Monica Gale, 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. J.

McGowan, has signed up for the 4-H Dog Club project. She will exhibit her "pupil," Rexe von Rheinlandsgold, in the Kentuckiana German Shepherd Dog Club match next Sunday in the St. Matthews Community Center, 5001 Shelby ville Road. Boy, Only 13, Unaided Shows Dog To Title Of all the National Basketball Association stars who'll visit Louisville next week for four exhibition games, Hud Olsen will be the one most at home. Olsen, a third year man with the Cincinnati Royals, played his college basketball with the University of Louisville.

The world champion Boston Celtics will meet the Philadelphia 76ers in the second game Monday night at 9:15 o'clock while the Royals clash with the St. Louis Hawks in the first game at 7.

During the fiscal year for 1964-1965, ending June 30, the total sold was 1,565,860, more than 110,374 over last year. The total for the Mississippi Flyway was 663,148 of which Kentucky contributed only 7,146. Indiana sales totalled Illinois Ohio 25,178, and Tennessee 21,616. Every person 16 years of age or older is required to have one of the $3 revenue stamps on his person when hunting ducks, geese, brant and swans. Proceeds from the stamps are used to purchase refuges for migratory birds.

By LEW SHARPLEY One of the proudest 13-year-old boys in the world is Jack Vest, of Scottsburg, Ind who unaided has shown his 18-month-old St. Bernard to championship. There may be several boys that young who own champion dogs, but Jack is the only one, within the memory of veteran exhibitors, who has handled his own entry all the way to the title especially in such a hefty breed that takes considerable man-sized skill to show. Jack's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Gene H. Vest, are especially proud of the fact that he also did all the training and grooming of Browser L'Ours Alpin. Browser completed his championship requirements at St. Louis by taking a three-point award (his third) and then going best of breed over several notable "Saints" already in the ranks of the titleholders.

Just for good measure, Jack showed his recently purchased female to take a reserve ribbon. Big sister, Joan, is hoping for a day to remember all her own when her Old English Sheepdog, Tamara's Sparkle Plenty, attains championship. His Dogs Win In 3 Cities Ruttkay Dixie Traveler, Keeshond owned by C. B. Embry of Beaver Dam, won three points at Gary, on the same day when his Samoyed, Snow King of Good Will, was best of breed at Nashville and his young Lhasa Apso, Maraja Ming Ti of Embrheights, went reserve at St.

In addition, he poured in a total of 362 points as a member of the freshman team. Olsen's career at the University of Louisville started in 1958 and ended in 1962 and included the Cardinals' near upset of mighty Ohio State In the Mid-J east Regional at Freedom Hall in 1961. Three members of that Ohio State team, which barely outlasted the Cards 56-55, also will play in the meet here. -Jerry Lucas, the three-time Buckeye All-jVmerica is a Royal teammate of Olsen's, awhile John Havlicek and Larry Sieg-, jtried are members of the Celtics. Another player who no doubt has fond --memories of Freedom Hall is Adrian of the Hawks.

STRIKES SPARES The high- scoring Masters Tournament opens its ninth season at Thelmal tonight, with "The Kin Men fill 48 men and 24 women entered. The tourney is double-elimination over a 30-week period this time, with no split season as before. Although matches have "NEEDED Single persons only, to bowl in a mixed league designed for single men and women wishing to make new friends." The response, says J-Town manager Lou Snipp, was very gratifying although, without drawing any conclusions, he reports that more women signed up than men. And when the new league opened its season Thursday night, there was still a shortage of two males in the ratio of two men and three women on each of eight teams. Snipp thinks those places will be filled shortly.

Incidentally, there's a league regulation that Cupid should like. From week to week, the two men on each team have to transfer to another team, bowling with different ladies each time. "It help's 'em get better acquainted," says Snipp. ORPHANS BOWL A winter bowling program for orphans, patterned after a highly successful venture during the past summer, has been launched at Mid-City Lanes. Now, however, close to 100 boys and girls from four children's homes are participating, rather than the 56 from two homes who took part earlier.

And they're getting together once a week for 20 weeks, instead of 12. Fischer Is 2nd In Capablanca, Won By Smyslov Of Russia By MERRILL DOWDEN Maybe American Grandmaster Bobby Fischer isn't the world's greatest chess player, as he is reported to have un- frequently been on television in the past, no TV is planned for the immediate future.

Nancy Jones of Owensboro, secretary of the Kentucky Women's Bowling Association, reports 224 five-member teams have entered the ladies' sixth annual State Tournament which starts Oct. 16 and runs three weekends at Owensboro's Bowlodrome. The total is a little under last year's record figure of 237. The Cleveland Kegler says Bowling Hall of Fame member Steve Nagy continues to make progress in a Boston hospital after suffering a stroke. He's still paralyzed on his right side, and doctors say he will have to stay in the hospital for at least three or four more weeks.

D3IiapBfi DIED blushingly stated in a recent interview but he is still a hard man to beat. And after more than a year's boycott of the world's major tournaments (he was most conspicuous by his absence) Fischer was still good enough to wind up in a three-way tie for second place in the Capablanca Memorial Tournament at Havana. Sharing second-place honors with him were Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia and Ewfim Geller of Russia. Not surprisingly, the tournament was won by Russia's Vassily Smyslov, former world champion. Smyslov finished the 30-day, 21-round marathon with 15Vi points, a bare half-point ahead of Fischer, Ivkov and Geller.

And Fischer won his individula encounter with Smyslov. Fischer, competing by telephone and teletype from New York because the State Department wouldn't grant him a visa to visit Cuba, defeated Wolfgang Pietzech of Germany in the final round. This game went only 24 moves. Twenty-two players from 15 countries participated in the tourney, named in honor of Jose Raul Capablanca, world champion from 1921 to 1927.

So far, Wright says, approximately 30 individuals and organizations have made $20-per-child contributions. The biggest single contribution $200 came from "alumni" of St. Joseph's Home. Boys and girls from St. Joseph's and Brooklawn participated in the summer program.

To these have been added children from St. Vincent and St. Thomas homes. ALL-STAR STARTING Qualifying starts in Louisville next weekend for the annual All-Star Tournament. And there's likely to be a lot of preliminary activity at the three tenpin houses where the qualifying gets under way.

This is because of the emphasis this year on pre-tourney "sweeper" events that offer paid entries for the qualifying. Thermal Lanes, the kickoff qualifying site at 1 p.m. next Saturday, already has had a couple of sweepers (won by Lee Hall and Gene McGrew) and plans to hold a number of others this week. The same is true at two other opening sites I'arkmoor, which holds a qualifier at 9 p.m. Saturday, and Mid-City, where bowlers will try for tourney spots at 9 p.m.

Sunday. Each sweeper requires only six bowlers men or womenwith the winner receiving a paid entry. Since the LB. IN YOUR OWN CONTAINER himself. ENGLISH OPENING I.
