it ts his duty to warn the other*
when danger approaches. Even to
the farmyard you can hear "bird

warns the chickens that a hawk If

Mr. Wilburn Hugh*
Louis* Reynolds aI
Wichita Falls, Texas Oct. 17— The
finest dividends are not always direct
cash returns, is the opinion of Mrs
W, C. Desinis, about three miles north
of Kirkland, Texas. The influx ot
birds to the farm, Mrs. Dennis be-
lieves, makes this especially true of
an investment in tree shelterbelts of
which the Dennis place has one plan-
ted in 1936.
There are ten times as many birds
on the farm now as before the trees
were planted, says Mrs. Dennis. She
especially appreciates the presence
of mocking birds and other song
birds which stay near the home. This
continuous chatter and singing "bri-
ghten tilings up."
The Dennis shelbelt, planted by the
U. S. Forest Service, has become a
part of the Texas State Extension
I Service program which has design-
ated the place as a "whole demon-
stration" farm — that is, a place
where approved methods are exhibit-
ed by the extension service.
Th shelterbelt, only two years old,
has grown to the extent that it fur-
ni hes nesting plrces for hundreds of
birds, many of them Insectivorous.
Also, the extension sarvice ha« found
that the shelterbelt provides ideal
cover for game Hrxis.
Shelterbelt planting by the Forest
Service is a cooperative enterprise
with the farmers The belts' princi-
pal purposes arc to prevent blowing
of loose textured farmlands which
created a national problem, protect
growing crops from hot summer
winds, furni h fuel and fence posts
for the farm, and to provide cover
for wildlife The trees are furnished
nnd planted by the Forest Service
The farmer prepares the land, fur-
nishes the fence material, and cul-
tivates the shelterbelt until the leaf
canopy Is closed.
Gallaudet Was Firat to
Start School for Deaf
Dr. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet,
for whom Gallaudet college is
named, was the first American edu-
cator to establish a school for the
deaf in this country.
Born in Philadelphia on Decem-
ber 10, 17i!7, he was a tutor and a
theological student, but, becausa of
ill-health, declined a ministerial po-
sititiori.
Then Gallaudet became acquaint-
ed with a deaf child named Alice
Cogswell and it was his interest in
her education which led him to de-
vote his life to the education of the
deaf. Furnished with funds raised
by Alice's father and a number ot
friends, he went to Europe to make
a study of methods employed there.
Upon his return, relates Leslie
Hartley in the Washington Star, Gal-
laudet, in 1817, founded at Hartford,
Conn., the first free American school
for the deaf and was its president
until 1830. During that period he
was able to train a number of men
in his methods of teaching and
these, in turn, became heads of sim-
ilar schools all over the country.
Dr. Gallaudet. married one of his
pupils, Sophia Fowler. They had two
sons: Thomas, who became a mlfr
siona.y to the deaf, and Edward
Miner, who was the first superil*
tendent of the Columbia Institution
for the Deaf when it was established
In Washington. The advanced d^
partment of this institution, which to
til© only college for the deaf in th*
world, is named in honor of TbomM
