WISE BIRDS 

 Photo at left shows 

 a crack in an electric 

 pole at V e n e d y , 

 Washington county, 

 in which woodpeck- 

 ers have stored hun- 

 dreds of pecans. 

 When food is scarce 

 the birds return to 

 their cache, eat a nut 

 or two. Prize picture 

 by Grover Brinkman. 



RECORD-MAKERS 

 Misses Bertha and Eva Strieker, 21, twin 

 daughters of Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Strieker 

 of Washington county, attended Metho- 

 dist Sunday School for 17 consecutive 

 years without missing a session. "That's 

 884 Sundays and quite a record, " writes 

 Editor Brinkman of the Okawville Times. 



PERFECT — 

 — except for sound effects, 

 says Letha M. Webb, Bureau 

 county, who filched this prize 

 photo of Floyd B. Culberson 

 while he slept. He is fieldman 

 for a co-op dairy.

VALUABLE WASTE 

 For 20 years or more, rock 

 dredged from Green river lay 

 piled along its banks, un- 

 sightly and unwanted. At the 

 suggestion of C. E. Yale, Lee 

 county farm adviser, the stone 

 is being ground for agricul- 

 tural use on nearby farms.
