WILDLIFE TODAY By Jim New Wildlife Biologist Susie Bergens is one of the young and upcoming biologists. She has had a great deal of exposure to different areas across the United States. Her observations arc both informative and refreshing. Recently she asked if she could do a scries on regional State properties and what they have to offer. Here’s Susan! Hurrah! Spring is in the air. With the nice weather we’ve been experiencing you may be like me — chomping at the bit to get out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air after having been cooped up all winter. It you have the urge to get out and can t think of a place to go that’s not too far from where you live, you may be interested in finding out a little more about your State fish and wildlife areas.

ment and maintenance of these properties comes from the sales of hunting and fishing licenses and special taxes on sport, hunting and fishing equipment. We all owe a big thanks to the hunters for providing these areas for our use, as well as providing a home for manywild critters, both game and nongamc. The seven fish and wildlife areas in the northern part of the state are Kingsbury. Jasper-Pulas-ki. LaSalle. Winamac. Tri-County. Willow Slough and Pigeon River. Today's featured property is Kingsbury Stale Fish and Wildlife Area. Kingsbury is located off of U. S. 35 about 5 miles south of LaPorte. Kingsbury's main claim to fame is its deer herd, but many other wildlife can be seen by the observant eye. A 450 acre marsh is one of Kingsbury's highlights. With a little patience, many water and marsh birds can be spotted, ranging in size from the Great Blue Heron that spears fish with its long pointed bill, to the very small Longbilled Marsh Wren which emits that loud raucous call you may have heard but would never dream came from such a tiny creature. Watch the surface of the water in the marsh and ditches and maybe

you'll spot a beaver or muskrat swimming around. The uplands and woods at Kingsbury also abound in critters. Squirrels. chipmunks, bunnies, ground hogs, fox, coyote, badger and many more, are beginning to make themselves visible now. The spring migration of birds has begun for those who enjoy watching our feathered friends. Also located at Kingsbury is the state s only cold-water fish hatchery. the Mixsaw bah Fish Hatchery. The manager at the hatchery and his staff provide tours twice daily at 11 :(X) a.m. and I :(X) p.m. to any interested people. Sould you wish to make an allday or week end outing of your visit to Kingsbury, a small primitive campground and picnic area is available. A fee is charged for camping, but picnicking, sightseeing and other activities are free of charge. Requirements are few: just abide by the rules and regulations of the property, and treat it as your land.

RADISH QUICK GROWING VEGETABLE An early vegetable that is easy to plant and quick to grow is the radish. As such, it can inspire the new gardener with confidence. Most radish varieties require less than 30 days to reach proper size from seed. And since they resist frost, radishes can be planted in a garden as six>n as the ground in workable. "For best results radishes should be encouraged to grow dur ing the cool conditions of spring in a light, loose soil," says John A. Wott. "Radishes do best in a rich, fertile soil," the Extension home environment horticulturist adds, "but they require plenty of water during dry spells." When planting radishes, sow at intervals until the weather turns hot. Sowing all at one time will bring them to maturity at the same time, thus providing the grower with too many. Radishes left in a garden become enormous in size, pithy and unusable. Some popular varieties in this area are Early Scarlet Globe. Scarlet Knight. Icicle. Comet and Cherry Belle. Sow seeds one inch deep and thin them to one inch apart when they are still small, counsels Wott When planted in straight lines, leave 12 inches between rows. Most people think of radishes as round and red. Some are. But others arc white or red and white. Still others are shaped like icicles with lung tapering roots. It's all a matter of taste as to which to plant in your garden. Generally, people prefer to use radishes raw in salads, but an interesting variation is to steam them in thick slices for 10 minutes and serve with butter. Steaming gives them a milder taste, but thev remain crisp and delicious. Little boy: "My parents and I have finally reached an agreement.
