NEW JERSEY - 4-H Club members from severi 

 widely scattered counties have been growing Tjf 

 ean honeysuckle and autumn olive to provide fooc 

 and shelter for wildlife. The 4-H'ers grow the 

 plants from seed and sell them to the New Jersey

 of Conservation and Economic Development at a 

 small profit. 



ANOTHER WESTERN INSTITUTION ON THE WAY 

 OUT? ? ? Might be, according to an article in the 

 Grit Newspaper that pointed out the attributes of 

 using geese to herd sheep. The story notes that 

 geese can be as hostile & aggressive as dogs in 

 protecting persons and property. In New Jersey 

 and Texas, geese are actually being used to herd 

 sheep. Their honking and wing-flapping, and dart- 

 ing nips on the rear of sheep keep the woolies in line 

 Furthermore, they are as aJEfectionate and faithful 

 as a dog. I don't know, it just wouldn't seem right 

 to have a sheepgoose named Rover', '.
