Biological Survey, L. S Depart
mcnt OF Agriculture, has just
been issued: and from it the fol.
lowing extracts relative to this
subject are made:
The main purpose Of this cir
cular is to direct the attention OF
cotton growers and others in the
cotton-growing States to the i'm
portauce OF birds ia the boil
weevil war, to emphasize tn.
need of protection for them, and
to suggest means to increase
the Numbers and extend the
range of certain of the more i'm
portant kinds.
Investigations by the Biologic-
al Survey show that 50 species
of birds eat boil wccvils. While
some eat them only sparingly
others eat them freely, and no
fewer than ~ adult wcevils have
been found in the stomach OF a
single cliff swallow. OF the
birds known at the present time
to feed on the wecvil, among the
most important are the orioles,
nighthawk, and foremost Of all
the swallows (including the pur-
pie MARTINI.
Six kinds Of orioles live in
Texas, though but two inhabit
the Southern States generally.

The birds value for food, how
ever, is infnitesimal as com.
pared with the service it renders
the cotton grower and other
agrieulturists.
OF all the birds now known TO
destroy weevils swallows are the
most important. Six species
occur in Texas aud the South
ern States. The martin, the
barn swallow, the bank swallow.
the roughwing, and the cliff
swallow breed locally in Texas.

or tree swallow, nests only IN
the North, and by far the great.
or number OF cliff swallows nes,
in the North aud West.
The barn swallow is not al
com mon ia the South as i, is ia
the North. apparently owing to
the absence IN the South OF
large barns in the interior OF
which it can find a congcuial
home. Wherever the barn
swallow occurs its presence
should be encouraged in every
possible way. The barn and

bedbugs, and indeed are rather
closely related TO that objcc.
tionablc insect. Man. however,,
is safe from the attacks OF these
particular insects. since they
live only on birds or in their
nests and will soon perish apart
from their nor NAL hosts. Hence,
no one need fear TO encourage
the presence Of swallows under
the caves OF houses and about
barns.
The roughwing, another swal.
low, is com mon in the South,
nesting in the creviccs OF rocky
cliffs, in sand banks, holes in
masonry and in abutmcnts, un.

1t should not be forgotten that
the nearer the cotton fields the
birds are the more weevils they
will destroy.
The English sparrow is a
for midable enemy OF the martin,
as it is Of all swallows; and If a
martin COLONY is TO thrive, de.

to prevent this pest from GUST

From the standpoint Of the
farmer and the cotton grower,
swallows are among the most

and endurance are unexcelled,
