The Economic Value of a Toad.

{"
The Hatch Experiment Station of
the State College Mt Amherst has Just
issued bulletin No. 46, which is on
''The Habits, Food and Economic
Value of the American Toad" The
bulletin is the work of A. Fl. Kirkland,
assistant entomologist to the gypsy
moth committee. Mr. Kirkland finds
that insects constitute seventy-seven
per cent of the food of toad. To
show the number of worms which a
toad destroys he states that in the
stomach of a single toad were found
fifty-tive army worms, in another six.
ty-fve gypsy moth caterpillars, and in
third thirty-seven tent caterpillars.
He records an experiment where in
three hours time toad had consumed
between thirty and thirty-fve full
grown celery worms. He found by
examination of n large number of toads
that eighty-seven per cent. of the in
sects they destroy are injurious to cul-
tivated crops, or in other ways obnox.
ious to man. A toad would devour, in
the months of May, June and July, the
following: 1912 ants, 220S cut worms,
1910 myrapods, 2208 sour bugs, 36S
weevils and 36S carabids. OF these
9936 are injurious insects, and 36s
beneficial insects. Mr.. Kirkland then
figures out the amount in dollars and
cents which toad may be worth.
Confning his attention to but one ele-
ment of the food, the cut worms, and
assuming that ten per cent of these
insects would have been killed by the
carabid beetles, it still leaves 1883 cut
worms to the toad's credit; and if the
damage the cut worms would have
caused be estimated at one per cent.
per worm, figure which gardeners
and tobacco growers will probably
consider ridiculously low, it will be
seen that a toad might destroy cut
worms which would otherwise have de-
stroyed crops to the extent of $19.SS.

A Protest Against Sewer LENS.

ing issue OF your paper another kick
against the Sewers. | do not wonder that
Mr.. Wilson kicks against the Sewer Com
lntssioners and the Board Of Health Does
he not know that they own the whole
city. Whatever they say must be lone,
must be done, and done quickly. II it Is
not done and paid for they bring suit
against you and will sell you out These
two departments have entirely too much
power and 1t appears to INC that they are
working together
The Street and Sewer department lays
sewer bust, where it pluase4 They
don even ask the property owners If they
need 1t Or not, Then along comes the
officers of the Board Of Health and say
you must connect your property with the
sewer where there exists nuisance on
your property After they have issued the
order you must Oboy it and and if the work
Of taking the same is not done In ten days
they do it and make you pay for it.
II they keep on ms they have been doing
l think tho people will rebel, for they can't
stand It, About three hundred and fifty
OF our citizens who own property are now
kicking against the Street and Sewer
Department before our Legislature for a
change in the sewer law in order to stop
this business OF putting lien upon our
property as soon AS the sewer is built in
front Of it.
The law allows them to collect the full
amount OF their claim when the connec-
ton Of the sewer is made. Therefore the
city would lose nothing by the proposed
change The change should be made and
our property holders should look into it
and urge our Legislature to pass the bill
as asked for As the law now is the Street
and Sewer Department can sell and has
sold several properties owing to the u-
ability Of the owners to raise the money to
pay the sewer liens. The property is sold
absolutely. No chance being given to re-
deem 1t.

THE attention Of tho members Of the
Constitutionsl Convention 10 called to the
fact that Of the total amount Of over
s33, 900 which the Clerk Of the Peace Of
New Castle county turned In to the Coun-
ty Treasury for the past SIX months, over
$4,000 was collected for liquor licenses.
With local option. the State would lose
nearly one hundred thousand dollars in
revenue from the licensing OF liquor 50.
looms, breweriss and drug stores. The
loss Of this amount yearly would moan
bankruptcy Of the State Treasury In few
years. which deficit would have to be made
up by increased taxation. Speak easies
would start up by the hundred all through
the State, which would dispense liquor by
paying only an internal revenue license.
Until SONS other means Is found to raise
revenue enough to run the State, 1t would
be suicidal policy to experiment. with
local option. 1t takes over million dol.
lars yearly to run the State and keep out
Of debt. The State Treasury now contain
less than $1,000, without the sum turned in
yesterday by Clerk of the Peace Ford.
Visions are all right. but it takes money
to run the State Government.
