Bluebirds Inspire Nurturing Home Efforts At Linden Home
A reader recounts spotting a pair of bluebirds in a linden tree and, inspired by the North American Bluebird Society, the couple places two nest boxes and plans to monitor and protect the birds from sparrow and starling intruders. They anticipate eggs, incubation, and multiple fledglings, with ongoing care and foster-parent intentions through summer.

Brazil's soybean crop jumps as exports stay flat
The Agriculture Department projects Brazil will harvest 15.1 million metric tons of soybeans in 1984, down 0.5 million from prior forecast but above last year's 14.75 million. Growth stems from larger plantings driven by higher prices, with exports expected to rise only modestly and influence U.S. prices during the off-season.
