Giant Cactus Preserved giant cactus of Saguaro, one of the won- ders of the Arizona Desert, is to be pre- served for posterity and in the interest of science, An executive order issued by Presi- dent Hoover shortly before his term expired set aside a portion of the Coronado National Forest to be known as Saguaro National Monu- ment. This area will forever be protected against any activity which might interfere with the normal development of the desert flora native to that section. The giant cactus specimens now in the by creamy white blossoms in May. The fruit is palatable and is used as a food by some of the Indians. The lattice work skeleton of dead Saguaros is sometimes used in the con- struction of shelters and in the making of art goods. Despite the thorny character of the strips the bird houses, exuding a cementing ma- terial which protects the woody structure of the trunks from decay. The Saguaro National Monument is fairly accessible, and is close to a region popular with recreationists in the Coronmado National Forest. The Lazy Cowbird HE cowbird ranks among the laziest birds of the field. It derives its name from the fact that it follows along behind or just in front of grazing cattle, feeding upon insects which are disturbed by the cows and leave their cover in the grass. When the cows decide to seek better grazing elsewhere and start off at a fairly rapid pace, it is not unusual for these birds to hop on the cows’ backs and ride along with them. Even when it comes to perpetuating their species, the cow birds still are lazy. They build no nests of their own but lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, preferably smaller birds. The foster mother, when she hatches the cow bird’s young along with her own, appears not to notice that the larger cowbirds are not her own and feeds them and raises them at the same time as she raises and trains her own. $1,500,000 Crop Loans - FEE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
