Two days later, Tito and League President Landgraf came to Lansdale and made arrangements with Shelly to use. his baseball Things moved swiftly thereaftei, and on February.

If one can take time to kick the overshoes into the corner after knocking the melting snows oft with, a few whacks on the door step, baseball hot store league is in session. Although basketball, according to statisticians, has the largest number of participants and also draws the largest number of spectators through the season, the empowering national influence has failed to ooie its way into the local scene completely, i Baseball reigns supreme in the1 upper reaches of the Bux-Mont' Conference in spite of the football fantastics who count the gate and forget the kids in the lower end of the league. On Saturday the kids were out with the Valentine tags, this will lead the junior baseball league. There is talk of an amateur league in the North Penn Valley, and already the Class league Is sconced in Lansdale. What a setup for an aspiring baseball player.

If a kid comes out of high school with the necessary, equipment, phy- steal and mental, he is a cinch to get the nod from one of the local company. His crook at organized baseball will not carry him to the wayward stations of the south, one of the usual detrimental treks that make a home-sick kid want to hang- up the glove. is little doubt that the baseball picture tihis year will be framed in activity seldom thought of and never" approached. To put It mildly, king horsehidc is even pressing the Hubbert Factory. For baseball magnate Ed reports that already the contractors are asking for basballs in nu-! mbers that make his head swim.

Production must leap far above J. the demand. Fortunately, now and in the past, we have this generous Hubbert clan to bank on when the baseball situation gets tight. i When and if the proposed onslaught en the crows (gets underway, this will be one of many actions against this gregarious bird. The increase in the number-of the crows is a logical result of the kindness of nature and mam.

Many of the crows seen here' during the winter are now on their way to breeding grounds in Canada. Clearing of the i bush in Providence has worked admirably, in. propagating the species, tor whereever the grain planting can be found, the crow will be on hand. That is why he haunts our locale during the winter. In fact he can be found in horrifying Humbert throughout this belt across the ii United States.

The' shocked mildness of winters In eomparision to excellent feeding facilities make this territory his home-i during Now he will take to wing, mate up, and breed. During the breeding season the crow is a homey fellow. There are no conclaves in the rooks nor swarmsin the fields at daylight. '-When the crow is moving" north, he may a roost for a week or ihore.v When he is migrating south, his longest stay is one night The nesting crow requires 10 ounces of food a day of about 13 Vi pounds for its nesting life of three weeks. At the end of this time the bird will weigh one pound.

During this time, the bird would have eaten two and one half times his weight in May bottles. The grasshoppers consumed, if stuffed into one large insect, would be twice the size of the bird. Wild birds and poultry would each form a mass about one fifth of the crow's -weight and corn approximately one and one half times its No less than 656 different items have been identified iahe food of a crow. There it is, the crow. Is he monster, menace, or friend Locally, the first is probably true.
