Clute WHITE OAKS AND SPRING BEAUTIES IN THE JOLIET AREA plants, and perhaps collections of mosses and grasses, into the Higinbotham Arboretum, something more in the experimental and exotic lines, for here too, is an abundance of water ana all sorts and conditions of soil. Here too is our prehistoric ruin, a fort unknown to history. The golf course is a secret but alive. Now for the boulevard into Cook County. We are ever pleased with the bird and bug sort of citizens who come ram- bling into our woods, thus this sketch of our belongings and hopefulness. They are an interesting and an interested peo- ple. In our day dreams, always tilled with pleasant mem- ories, we see the woods and a straggling multitude with lunch- eons. At the Cherry Hill entrance to the Pilcher Arboretum the Rock Island railway has a milk station. Perhaps the "Cherry" name will be changed and more trains scheduled for stopping. As a bird preserve these woods are somewhat noted. A grove of fifteen hundred sugar maples, as a canopy, covers one flat completely. Giant trees, dense shrubbery, hills, ponds, running streams and a little prairie are attractive to all tastes in birdland. A covey of Woodcock, two of Quail and seventy- fiva wild Mallard were included in our crop of 1922. The rabbits, however, are altogether too numerous for the welfare of young trees, and the annual drive is the program, with a hundred or more "bunnies" for the orphans and hospital un- fortunates. I am not an authority in the bird line, but from a list made by Messrs. Swarth, Dewey, Meenke and Skeels for the Field.
