Juvenile birds arrive a week to 10 days later and they make up the bulk of the many flocks. The adult snow geese are a brilliant white with black wing tips. The juveniles have a dirty light eray col ored plumage. The blue geese are a dark blue gray with a white head and neck. The juveniles do not have the white neck and head. The blue and snow geese hy bridize and some odd color combinations result. Usually the wins and back are typ ical of the blue and the rest of the body and the head and neck are white. If you see a gray goose with a thin white band at the back of the bill and on the fore head, you are looking at a white fronted goose. These geese, commonly called "specs," are not nearly as numerous as the other kinds that migrate through Nebraska. The Canada type goose is very common throughout the state during the spring flight, but they are in smaller flocks than the blue and snow geese. Here in Nebraska you can ex pect to see three different types of Canada geese. The common Canada goose is the largest. The lesser Canada goose is the in termediate size and the smallest is the Hutchin's goose. They are identical in coloration and size is the only means of telling them apart. Understandably the lesser and tne common Canada geese are hard to identify in the field un less you are quite familiar with them. All of the Canada geese are gray, with a white belly and a black neck and head. They have a prominent white cheek patch on the side of their head. In conjunction with the tre mendous goose flight through the state in the middle of March; the arrival of the sand hill cranes is looked forward to by many Nebraskans. These long legged, gray birds are streaming into central Nebras ka, on to the Platte river bot toms in huge flocks. This is probably the largest single con centration point during migra tion for sandhill cranes in North America. You may see any of the 21 dif ferent kinds of ducks found in Nebraska, at this time of the year. All of the males' plumage is brilliant colored in the spring just before the breeding season. The ducks have new feathers and the colors are not yet bleached by the sun or stained by impurities in the water. By . duck hunting season, next fall, ; they all will have a much more somber appearance as the colors are not nearly as brilliant. To identify the migrating ducks in Nebraska, you can turn to many good books. A very good book is nublished by our neigh bors to the east, Iowa. The Iowa Game Commission's publication "Waterfowl in Iowa" lists the same waterfowl that migrate through Nebraska. h I AMES C OLSON, Smptrinfndni tVAfl BUTOIICAl SOCIIfV The names of J. N. and Nich olas Paul are inextricably woven into the early history of How ard county, and it is hard to write about the countv without discussing the activities of these two men. J. N. Paul accompan led Major Frank North, famed chief of the Pawnee Scouts, on ! a hunting expedition up the Loup ' Valley in 1870. Nicnolas J. Paul, in December of that year, visit- j ed the Loup Valley in company With the vice-consul from Den mark with the view to making ; i a Danish settlement m the area. ' j The Paul brothers and others were so favorably impressed with ! the region that they immediate ly set about organizing a settle - i ment in the area. They selected ! a spot in the vicinity of the pres j ent town of St. Paul. A group of Danish settlers ar- X A T V4 Xil MUPJ j X KJ A. 1VXVAJ KJ J1 VA-iV-HA were from Milwaukee where the Danish Land and Homestead Company had been organized for the purpose of settling the Loup Valley with Danes. On the advice of J. N. Paul, this group selected lands on Oak Creek. In the fall of 1871, C. C. Schlytern of the colony bought several sec tions oi land from the Union Pacific Railroad and made prep arations to build a town near the present site of Dannebrog. The Paul brothers were anx ious for county organization in their new settlement and thought that a new county should be formed in the Loup Valley from Hall County. Nicho las Paul tried to persuade the representative from Hall Coun ty to introduce the necessary legislation in the State Legisla ture, but Judge Beals, then serv ing in the legislature from Hall County, refused to do so with out the approval of his constit uency. His constituents approved, although they felt that a certain part of Adams County should be added to Hall County if a new county were created from Hall County. Finally, on March 1, 1871, the State Legislature pass ed an act defining the boundar- j les of Howard County. The coun ty was named, incidentally, in honor of the famous Civil War veteran and Indian fighter, Gen eral Oliver Otis Howard. From the beginning, St. Paul has been the county seat of How ard County. The name originally chosen was Athens, but because there already was one Athens in Nebraska the Post Office De partment rejected the name. The matter was then referred to Sen ator Phineas W. Hitchcock who suggested the name of St. Paul, in honor of the Paul brothers who had founded the town. Though Howard County is in an area which occasionally experi ences moisture difficulties, from the date of its earliest settle ment the county has been agri cultural. Also, from the earliest days, stock raising has been looked upon as an important part of the economic activity of Howard County. In 1880, the county had a pop ulation of 4,391. By 1890 the county's population had jumped to 9,430. The highest population 1 in the county s history was re turned in lylO, when the county showed 10,783. Since that time there has been a gradual, but steady decline, and the popula tion in 1950 was reported at 7,226. Time to Clean Venetian Blinds LINCOLN Now is the time to clean Venetian blinds of their accumulation of winter soil. The easiest way, of course, is to put them, right into a bathtub full of thick warm suds. Use a syn thetic detergent if water is hard. These are the instructions of Clara N. Leopold, extension home management specialist at the University of Nebraska. First make sure the tapes and cords are shrink-proof, the specialist warns. If in doubt about this, leave the blinds in place at the window for cleaning. Wipe each slat of the blind separately with a sudsy sponge and use a brush on tapes and cords. Then rinse the same way with a clean damp cloth. It may take a little time to clean those blinds but they will live longer if you do.
