Guests Mr. and Mrs. Bunger from Southern
England, and land of the chalky downs, gave
humorous glimpses of the limitations of their soil.
Under a slight topsoil there are 200 feet of
chalk, - not clay or sand, loam -no, -chalk.
How they manage to grow flowers, vegetables and
trees is another instance of the hardy persistance
of the British which seems to be shared by the
vegetation.

Two motions were passed, one, reinstating
the April meeting, the other, deviating the basket of vases
to the Hospital.

Jack Bentley told of the kudzu or telephone
vine, which aroused much interest. Its properties
as a legume soil-buillder were noted by Mr. Bunger.

The best advice says, "Let the frost get the
new asparagus growth at Tanglewood."

Be sure to see tha the field-corn stalks
of The Porches are cut up so that the corn borer
can not winter in them.

Have you ever "smelled the sweet goldenrod",
or heard the "singing mice" in the cornfield?

Lofton Wesley and Helen Hallowell were
appointed readers for the April meeting at The
Cedars.

It was to be regrettd that darkness had
descended when time came to view the wonder garden
of Tanglewood.
