Bob-white q valuable Bird.


I The ornithologists Of the department
Of agriculture have been making an In
vestigation Of the economy value OF the
bob-white, as a result 0f which 1t Is
announced that that bird Is probably
the most useful abundant species on
the farms" Fieldobservations, expe-
riments and examinations show that 1t
consumes large quantities Of weed
seeds, and destroys many of the worst
insect pests with which farmers con-
tend. and yet 1t does not injure sraiL.
fruit or any other crop. 1t Is Toured
that from September to April 20 an
Irslly In virginit alone the total con-
sumption of weed-seed by bob whites
amounts 10 five hundred and seventy
t',re. tons. Some Of the pests which
" habi,rally destroys, the report says.
are the Mexican cottoub. Il weevil,
which damages the cotton crop 20 the
extent of more than fifteen million dol
lars a year; the potato-beetle, which
cuts off ten million dollars from the
value Of the potato crop; the cotton
worms. which have been known to
cause thirty million dollars loss In
year; the chinch-bug and the Rocky
Mountain locust. scourges which leave
desolaticD in their path, and have
caused loss aggregating one hundred
million dollars In some years. The re-
port urged measures to secure the pres
ervation of the bob-whites In this

Most farmers would think $45 an

they do not raise corn or wheat or
