his store of food for the winter. All
those near the edge of his pond
had been cut. The others were scat-
tered about some little distance
away. "I don't know," said Paddy
out loud, "I don't know."
"What don't you know?" asked
Sammy Jay, who, now, that he and
Paddy had become friends, was
very much interested in what Paddy
was doing.
"Why," replied Paddy, "I don't
know just how I am going to get
those trees. You see now that Old
Man Coyote is watching for me it
isn't safe for me to go very far from

"What's a canal?" asked Sammy
abruptly.
"A canal? Why, a canal is a kind
of ditch in which water can run,"
replied Paddy.
Sammy nodded. "I've seen Farm-
er Brown dig one over on the Green
Meadows, but it looked like a great
deal of work. I didn't suppose that
any one else could do it. Do you
really mean that you can dig a
canal, Paddy?"
"Of course, I mean it," replied
Paddy in a surprised tone of voice.
"I have helped dig lots of canals.

he cried. "You know my eyes are
very sharp."
"Will you?" cried Paddy eagerly.
"That would be perfectly splendid.
You have the sharpest eyes of any
one of whom I know and I would
feel perfectly safe with you on
watch. But I don't want to put you
to all that trouble, Mr. Jay."
"Of course I will," replied Sam-
my, "and it won't be any trouble
at all. I'll just love to do it." You
see it made Sammy feel very proud
to have Paddy say that he had such
sharp eyes. "When will you begin?"
"Right away, if you will just take
a look around and see that it is per-
fectly safe for me to come out on
land."
Sammy didn't wait to hear more.
He spread his beautiful blue wings
and started off over the Green For-
est straight lor the Green Meadows.
Paddy watched him go with a puz-
zled and disappointed air. "That's
funny," thought he, "I thought he
really meant it, and now off he goes
without even saying good-by."
In a little while back came Sam-
my all out of breath. "It's all right,"
he panted. "You can go to work
just as soon as you please."
Paddy looked more puzzled than
ever. "How do you know?" he
asked. "I haven't seen you looking
around."
"I did better than that," replied
Sammy. "If Old Man Coyote had
been hiding somewhere in the Green
Forest it might have taken me some
time to find him. But he isn't. You
see I flew straight over to his home
in the Green Meadows to see if he
is there, and he is. He's taking a
sun bath and looking as cross as
two sticks. I don't think he'll be
back here this morning, but I'll keep
• sharp watch while you work."
Paddy made Sammy a low bow.
"You certainly are smart, Mr. Jay,"
said he.
April 15th Last
Date to File for
Cotton Insurance
Insurance at cost is proving pop-
j ular with the Texas cotton farmers
for the second successive year. Re-
ports in the state office March 3,
indicate the 6,633 cotton farmers
already have assured themselves of
a minimum crop this year by sign-
ing cotton crop insurance con-
tracts.
Under the Federal Crop Insur-
ance cooperation program, either
50 or 75% of the farm's average
yield is insured against all unavoid-
able hazards, such as wind,
drought, rain, boll weevil and oth-
er insects, frost and storms.
It takes money to expand war
crops and cotton insurance as a i
source of credit that can be used to j
expand production and at the same
time lessen total risks farmers
must carry, State crop insurance
supervisor said in pointing to enor-
mous Food for Freedom goals
which Texas farmers are being
asked to produce this year.
Due to the largeness of the state,
four closing dates are applicable
in Texas. First deadline was Feb-
ruary 1 for four Rio Grande Valley
counties, pvhile the second closing
date is March 1 involved other
southern counties. Other closing
dates in the state are March 15,
April l, and April 15, depending on
locality. The applications must be
made before cotton is planted or
before the final date for receiving
applications in the county.
