The small boy in town is
restricted on every side. He can
not do this or that, either because
] his parents are the municipal well
fare desires it, and he doubtless
often thinks the world wrongly
conducted. But the restricted
energies of the boy could be well
employed, it seems to us, in one
useful way, while at the same time
giving his fondness for killing
thugs, throwing, shooting. and
Indian tactics full vent. And that
is, in killing off the English sparrow.
This pugnacious little importation
from Old England is driving our
song birds and insect enemies from
the country, We need the help of
these birds ard it would be the part
of wisdom to give the boys bounty
for every sparrow shot, trapped or
destroyed. Unremitting war on
the sparrow should be made.

The crop reports brought in by
farmers who are coming to town
these day are gloomy in the ex-
IRENE. Talks with men from all
sections of the county develop the
fact that this is likely to be the most
backward season in fifty years. The
extreme cold has retarded the grow
tn of those crops already planted,
while the rain has been both curse
and blessing. The rain has not
harmed the small grams but the
corn in many sections is rotting.
Without exception, however, those
who speak are Of the opinion that
warm weather from now on will
make material difference in the
crops, and it IS more than likely
that the damage in the end may not
be as great as it now promises to be.
