CROWS AND HENHAWKS MOST
JSEEIJI

If any member of the present
legislature should write to the agri-
cultural department at Washington
and ask if bill No. 622a, granting
bounty on crows and henhawks, is
a measure in the interest of agri-
culture il is not likely that the
proposal would be enacted into law.
There is hardly any excuse for max
ing a mistake about this matter.
The most thorough investigation Of
the whole subject of birds in their
relation to agriculture has been CAT
ried on for the past fifteen years by
the United States department of agrI-
culture. The stomachs of more than
40 900 birds, taken in all parts of the
country and at all seasons of the
year, have been examined to ascer-
tain the kind of food eaten. The
stomachs of more than 900 crows
have been examined. While "a per
cent. of the food was corn only 8
per cent. of it was sprouted corn
taken from planted fields. All the
rest was evidently waste graiu
picked up in the fall in fields and
feeding lots and of no value. As
against this, 26 per cent of the entire
food of crows consists of May beetles,
cutworms, grasshoppers and crickets.
During May, June and July these in
sects, so injurious to agriculture,
constitute nearly the entire food of
crows. c. Hart Merriman, chief of
the division of ornitholOgy and
mammalogy of the department, says:
"In summing up the benefits and
losses resulting from the food habits
of this bird, it is clear that the good
exceeds the bad and that the crow is
friend rather than an enemy of
the farmer"
The worst part, however, of bill No.
622 is the clause that would open the
door to the slaughter of the entire
! 16 species of hawks found generally
! in this state. There are only three
species in Wisconsin that ought ever
| to be killed and these are by no
means wholly Lad. Nor are any of
I the three known TO the farmer as
"henhawks." The three most com
mon hawks and those generally
called henhawks are the red-tailej,
Ired-shouldered and marsh hawks. OF
these an examination CT SOC stOmachs
showed poultry or game birds in 64
and other birds in 81 stomachs. On
the other hand. 4S7 stomachs con-
tanned mice, 1913 other little rodents.
such as moles, gophers. rabbits and
chipmunks. 154 contained Injurious
beetles, grasshoppers and crickets, and
nearly all contained snails, centipedes
and other insects and crustaceans.
The department of agriculture has
pronounced the hawks as among the
very useful birds, doing vastly
greater good than harm TO the
| farmer.
1t is suggested to the senators that
bill No. 622 be either killed, or laid
aside until an opinion can be re-
ceived from Washington. 1t Is
scarcely worth while to spend
millions of dollars to maintain a
national agricultural department I'M
less to profit by its Investigations
