POETS CORNER ODE TO THE FARMER by Louise Koza Days growing shorter with each setting sun, Farmers so busy getting everything done. Corn ready for husking, hay mowing to do Before the first frost his work must be through. Tomatoes, string beans and pickles to can, Grapes, plums and peaches make jellies and jams; Apples and pumpkins for good homemade pies, His crops he must harvest for soon the snow flies. To feed all the folks when winter is here He fills upihe larder till spring comes next year ; Then once again he will till the land, Plant the seeds so needed by man. Without the farmer, what would we do? For he grows the food that feeds me and you. NOW SERVING!

Ignazio Porro invented in 1851 a prism combination which was to play an important part in the future development of bi­ noculars. The prism combina­ tion made it possible to reduce the size of binoculars without sacrificing magnification, thus enabling powerful binoculars to be hand held. 42.
