THE soswh,rEs.
Department OF Agriculture invssti.
gates Their Economic Value.

Washington. May 3o.-The ornithol.
osists OF the department or agriculture
have been making an investigation OF
the economic value OF the bob-white
as result of which il Is now an.
nounced that that bird Is probably
the most useful abundant species on
the farms"
Field observations. experiments and
examinations show that IL consumes
large quantities OF weed seeds and de.
stroys many OF the worst insect pests
with which farmers contend and II
does not injure grain, fruit or other
crop. Ii Is figured that from Septem.
Der to April 80, annually. in Virginia
alone, the total consumption OF weed
seed by bob-whites amounts to 573
tons. Some of the pests which II ha-
bitually destroys. the report says. are
the Mexican cotton boil weevil. which
damages the cotton crop upwards OF
$15.OOO,OOO year. the potato beetle,
which cuts off s10.000,00O from the
value of the potato crop. the cotton
worms, which have been known to
cause SS0,O00.000 loss in year. the
cinch bug and the Rocky Mountain To-
Gust. scourges which leave desolation
In their path and have caused losses
to the extent of 800 900 900 In some
years. The report urges measures to
secure the preservation Of the bob.
whites in this country.
Discussing the prospects for the silk
industry. DR.. l.. o. Howard. the ento.
mologist OF the department of agri-
culture in an official treatise, says:
The department is justified in its
initiatory effort to create the condi-
tons for a constant supply of cocoons.
Ii can keep up it's reeling work and
thus keep open practically the only
market existing at present for a period
which must be determined by the will
OF congress. The outlook for what we
have termed a more natural market Is
problematical. There are many por-
tons OF the United States well adapt
ed to silk raising, many places which
might well become silk centers. where
labor can be employed practically at
rates comparable to those of Southern
Europe. The establishment of a silk
mill in such location with its own
filature attached with the surround.
ing people employed as operatives in
both filature and mills and with the
otherwise unoccupied members of their
households engaged in silk raising in
the spring. is feasible and can be made
to pay. That in some of these ways
the natural market will come seems
possible and even more than possible.
What the success of silk culture would
mean to the United States is indicat-
ed by the importations of raw silk in.
to the United States during the years
1892 to 1902
