WILD TURKEYS ARE SCARCE.
The Birds, II Let Alone Would
Check Increase of hoxious
Weeds and Insects.


'They are the hardest things in the
line of game bird to bring down.
They can run like deer and duck

Il ought to know. bacause I've
chased them for days at time,
but never did get as close to real
live turkey before" says a writer IA
the Boston Herald.
II Is hard TO realize that at the
beginning of the nineteenth century
wild turkeys were SO abundant that
they sold for six cents apiece, al.
though the larger ones, Weighing from
twenty-five to thirty pounds, some
times brought quarter of a dollar
A big wild turkey nowadays would
not long go begging at $5. mpr
II is their value as food that has
made II worth while to hunt turkeys
TO the very point OF determination.
So-called sportsmen go out In the late
summer, ostensibly to shoot squirrels,
but really TO pot turkeys on the roosr

THE wild turkey consumes insects,
pests and seeds of weeds, but now
Is nowhere abundant enough to have
much effect on agriculture. The bt-
ologocal survey has examined In
all sixteen stomachs OF wild turkeys.
These were collected during Febru.
airy, March, July, September, Novem-
Der and December. These stomachs
contained 1857 per cent. of animal
matter and S443 per cent OF vege.
table matter.
The animal matter consisted OF
spiders, snails. myriapods, grasshop-
pers, beetles, flies, caterpillars and
other insects. The wild turkey ia

cts. During the Nebraska invasion
OF Rocky Mountain locusts Prof. An.
ghey examined the contents of the
stomachs and crops of six wild tur.
keys, and every one was found to
have eaten locusts. The wild turkey
has been known also to feed ON the
cottonworm, the leafhoppers and the
leaf eating beetles.
The results of recent Investigations
should lead TO wider knowledge OF
the essential part these birds play

The Changing Area of Wheat Production.

Fresh thought rs to the changes Of a
quarter of Il century in the brcadStuifS
area of North America is invited by Il
unique souvenir from the Manitoba Free
Press, nj Winnipeg. The Christmas
greeting Of the Free Press is extended
through an artistic pamphlet accompa-
MED by miniature barrel IF -four. the
latter the product Of a min mt Ncrm!-
lion, in the Peace river country.
The point at which the -four was made
is 900 miles due north of the boundary
of the United States. Gao miles west
of lludson'S bay, and only 400 miles
south of the Arctic circle, Fort Nermil-
ion, where the mill is located is 1900 miles
northwest of Winnipeg. and on its jour
uoy southwark the flour Travelled about
300 miles in Il Hudson bay Sterm-whccl
steamer down the Peace river to Lake
Athabasla and across to the mouth Of
the AthahaSka river. thence by the river
to AthabasLa Landing, nearly 400 miles
in Il York boat. 1t was next carried by
pack train 100 miles to Edmonton. from
which point it Travelled 1922 miles TO
Winnipeg. The distance from Fort Yer
million, where the flour started. TO Mil
waukee, is 2GOO miles.
The pamphlet which describes the loca-
ton of the manufacture of this flour,
and the southwark journey of this prod
uct, contains the interesting information
that no longer ago than 1859 it was be-
licved by some experts that the wheat
raising area of the United States did not
extend farther than the boundaries of
Ohio. The fact is cited that in the year
mentioned. John II. Klippart. then secre,
tary of the Ohio State Board of Agricul-
ture. published a book Of 100 pages ell
titled THE Wheat Plant" in which he
supplemented argument to prove that the
wheat-produclng area of the country cX-
tended no farther than the western boun-
dairy of Ohio with prediction that the
tide Of population then moving westward
in great volume ''must soon return east
ward to the wheat-producng region"
Instead of Il back-set of the tide there
was Il steady westward flow. and now
descendants of the settlers of that day
are moving northward to the Arctic cir
Gle.
1t is asserted in regard To the flour
which has come down from that section
that the Peace river wheat from which
it was made was harvested ten days be
fore the wheat was cut on farms hun
dreds of miles farther south The sum-
mers of the Canadian Northwest are
short and the winters are cold. but the
season Of growth is long enough for the
development of good grain. The soil is
suitable for wheat raising. and under
proper cultivation, it will produce good
crops.-Evening Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
