Here Is A Definition Berserker, Meaning Frenzied Anger, Comes From The Icelandic Here is a phrase connoting fren- zied anger bordering on madness. When it comes to appropriating what it wants for its own purposes, the English language plays no favor- ites. So, we have this expression from the Icelandic, berserker.

The an- cient facis are that I was from 1904 to 1908 getting the first 11 Canada Geese to alight at Kingsville, and by 1912 the flock had grown to be known all over the continent. That spring one blue goose came with the honkers and to tell the whole truth IT had not been far enough from home to know what it was, but we named her dolly white head. In 1915 we started banding the Canada Geese and soon got in touch with the Eskimos and Missionaries of the far, far north. We found that the Eski- mos called these Blue and Lesser now Geese, Wavies. Well gradu- ally more and more wavies came un- til I found myself weaving and way- ing away into wavy anticipation as wavies were seer at Point Pelee, Rondeau, St. Clair Flats, Cedar Creek, and Anderson Marsh. In fact odd ones were seen for fifty miles around our sanctuary and I got the Snow and blue goose fever so badly that I wrote Mr. Paul Reddington who was then Chief of the United States Biological Survey, at Wash- ington, D.C., asking permission to go into the Louisiana Marshes to band the wavies. He replied at once stat- ing he would allow me the privilege providing I would put the United States Biological Survey Bands on them. To this I made no reply, but in about two weeks I received an- other letter offering me the privil- ege to put my band on one leg and the Untied States Biological Survey band on the other. Readers please pardon my lack of grammatic edu- so Many new moons with their faces down. Following them was not a flock, but a small swarm of wavies— yes, there were over five hundred of em. Some of the V-shaped lines Would be most all snows, while the others would be blues. Some lines Were mixed about fifty-fifty. The adult snow geese being pure white, all but about twelve flight feathers at the tips of each wing, which are dark; the young being a smoky White. The adult blues have a pure white head and slate colored breast. The young blues vary from light to dark slate color, and heads from smoky white to dark slate—seldom two alike. These lesser snows and blue geese are one and the same birds in habits and size. They dif- fer only in color and in captivity they will cross as readily as Wyan- dotte chickens, and I am sure they cross in the wild state, for I have a high-bred wild one here right now. So it is plain to be seen there would be at least six different colors in that beautiful flock of wavies. Yes, the Eskimos have it right. They are wavies and how they did weave and wave in the sunlight and shadow as they passed over this sanctuary, and will you believe it, this swarm of wavies was followed by another flock, then later on another and an- other until five flocks passed over, and in all there would be at least fifteen hundred. They passed over Kingsville on Monday, October 29th. I believe they were booked right through to Louisiana but had there been only fifteen or twenty in that first flock, my pickedup bird knowledge causes me to believe they would have landed here with the fifty honkers that they were following. I also believe they had rested some- Where between James Bay and here, as the majority were young birds, and they were all flying high and strong. In closing I just wish to say that the thrills I am getting out of knowing that the Canada Geese are cation, but if Mr. had written me the last letter first I would have banded five thousand of those wavies in less than three years, and the results could have gone into all the schools in America. But b; the time I received that last letter [ had changed my plans and I plant- ed an evergreen forest border two rods wide around a ten acre back field, then I dug a small pond in the centre of the field and named this ten acres the wavy field and I placed five wing-tipped wavies in this ten acres, and last spring, 1934, we caught and banded seven wavies, six blues and one snow, and according to a report I saw in the Toronto Globe there was a blue goose seen near London. This is fully one hundred miles east of my home, where we are gradually drawing the wavies from the West, but the report stated this goose had orange color on its head. Now this orange is not a goose color at all; it is an orange stain gathered from feeding in the dead flags and oat tails where they nose about for the tender roots below. Well, about May 10th, these seven banded wavies circled high and took the northern air line special for parts as yet un- known to me, and nothing worthy of mention happened until between one and two A.M., October 20th, when 1 was awakened by an ear-full of goose honks, and when daylight came we found that fifty-three honk- ers had arrived, and one young snow goose. We named this goose Lucy Snow and Lucy Snow is going to be banded. Monday, October 29th, was a beautiful cold morning and the bright blue sky was dotted here and there with low dark scudding clouds. The sun shining through in different places gave the heavens a glorious— yes, I feel like saying a glorious whispering effect. I was, of course, out chumming with all nature, when my north eye picked up as thrilling a sight as I will ever remember. Here were about fifty honkers with their konks and motors shut off, planing down out of the Heavens. They were ese wavies to come here, and that I have been able to catch and band seven in my little brickyard mudhole, home and bird sanctuary, brings me more heart pleasure and thrills me with more wide-awake bubbling Roses Old And New Hybrid Perpetuals Are Recommended For The Beginner Although this fs the day of the hybrid scentless rose, the sweet-smell- ing ungrafted Irish rose has not been driven from the Dominion. Its deli- cate perfume still permeates the summer evening air in many a Cana- dian garden and flourishes as of old. The hybrid may be more beautiful to the eye but it lacks that frag- rance which lends an inexpressible charm to the home garden. Holland is a country which has developed the hybrid to a very high degree of perfection and from there Canada gets an immense quantity of rose bushes every year. In 1934 the total importation into Canada was 285,000, Holland alone supplying 125,000 bushes. Great Britain sent 90,000, and the rest came from Denmark, France, Belgium, Italy, and the United States. The beginner in rose growing would do well to keep to hybrid perpetuals for a season or two before attempting to grow hybrid teas, which, though more continuous bloomers are less hardy and less vig- orous in their habit of growth. Safe varieties for the beginner are Hugh Dickson, red; Mrs. John Laing, pink; Frau Karl Druschki, white. Climbing roses need careful protection but are worth growing. Some of the hardiest, mentioned in “Spring Work in the Rose Garden” issued by the Domin- jon Department of Agriculture are Dorothy Perkins, pink; Flower of Fairfield, red; Goldfinish, cream white; Tausendschon, pink; Paul's Scarlet climber, and the bright red Blaze, the latter two blooming throughout the season under some conditions. over of what can be done at home than if I had gone into Louisiana and band- ed seven thousand. Therefore I can conscientiously say I am thankfully glad I did not receive that last letter first. No Leather Shortage Situation Here Not Parallel With United States Canadian consumers and boot and shoe manufacturers have no need for concern if a shortage of heavy sole leather due to drouth and increased slaughtering of heavy cattle in the United States develops in the re- public, Dominion government officials said. “The feared United States situa- tion is not paratleled in Canada and the slaughter of heavy cattle in the Dominion is almost negligible, as the tendency is to market our cattle earlier than formerly,” officials said. Approximately 95 per cent. of boots and shoes worn by Canadians are manufactured in this country, it was estimated. Of those imported the great bulk was from the United Kingdom.
