RAW AGES OF RICE BIRDS.

The department of agriculture Is en-
gagged in publishing an interesting work
IN regard to the action of birds upon az.

IN this report are almost startling in their
character. 1t appears that the rice birds
entail an enormous loss ON the rice grow
trs IN the south. Capt. llagood, of
south Carolina, one Of the largest rice
growers, in describing the ravagcs of
these birds says: They come in the lat.
ter part of Apr'l.when they are known as
boholinhs. Their plumage il white and
black, ami they sing merrily when at
rest. Their flight Is always at night.
In the evening there are none. In the
morning their appearance is heralded by
the popping of whips and the firing of
ihllskctry 10y the bird minders in their
Efforts to keep the birds from pulling up
the young rice. This warfare is kent ,lp
necessarily until about May y, when
they suddenly disappear at night. Their
neat appearance Is in Il dark yellow pu-
mage as the rice bird. There is no song
at tins time, but instead chirp which
means ruin to any rice found IN milk.
My plantation record will show that for
ten years. except when prevented by
south or southwest winds, the rice birds
