A second building is basically an airy vault-a 200-ft. structure with two rows of nine columns running along each side.

Bird-Sparing Spray. Responsible forestry experts argue that these ill effects can be minimized by spraying the elms in late fall or in early spring before the buds swell.

Day after day, nearly a million geese honk their way across the carefully tended farmland. In a time of rising costs and declining markets, cotton growers are showing an expanding enthusiasm for an antiquated agricultural technique known as "cotton goosing...
