BIRDS A HELP TO AGRICULTURE

Congress In a cynical MOOD asked
the agricultural department to fur
nish some reasons why the great ex-
penditure of money annually de-
manded for its maintenance should
be continued. There we're plenty of
congressman from non-farming con-
stituencies who needed the few mill
lions asked for by the agricultural
department to be disbursed for pub
lie buildings and the improvement
of dry waterways. II the department
could not give a good reason for its
existence there was hope that mel
on might be cut in their vincinage.
Secretary Wilson responded to the
request by issuing the annual report
of the bureau of biological survey,
which shows that If congress will act
on the report and the farmers will
follow the suggestions therein con-
tanned the latter will be saved mil
lions of dollars annually, says the
Fort Worth Record This bureau has
recently been pursuing the study of
birds and their habits with view Of
showing their value to those sections
of the country devoted to agricul-
ture through the destruction OF in
furious insects and the consumption
of the seeds OF noxious plants.
Farmers have known in a general
way for years that birds ate worms
and weed seeds, but of the number
other that the feathered tribes con-
sumed annually they have taken lit
tie heed. The revelations made by
this report are therefore not only a
sufficient answer to the cynical in
auiry Of congress. but revelation
to the agricultural mind.
The Investigations of the bureau
have determined absolutely that
with the exception of three species
of bird-eating hawks all American
birds are the farmers invaluable
friends, and this demonstration is
alone worth all the money that has
been appropriated for its mainten-
ance. The boil weevil. the great enc
my of the cotton planter, is eaten by
forty-three varieties of birds. The
Colorado potato beetle furnishes
subsistence for fifty-seven varieties.
Even the English sparrow, that has
no more use for a bug or a worm
than vegetarian has for blood rare
| beefsteak, devours SIS tons of weed
| cording to the calculations of the
bureau, and saves the farmers of the
country s35 100000 a year. BY g
careful computation of localities il
was determined that Virginia held
! 10000 quail and that these in a
given year consumed 1851 tons OF
weed seeds and III tons of noxious
| insects.
| Even If sentimental and humani-
tartan considerations are put aside
| the fact remains that from dollars
and cents point of view the preser-
walton of bird life would seem to be
| absolutely essential to the successful
prosecution of farming operations
The examples given herein are but
! few in number; the whole range OF
| bird life is full of others equally con-
| vincing.

Referring to the above I desire to
state that in my buying Mr.. Hud-
sons studio ! do so with a full ap-
probation of the reputation for high
grade work which he has always en-
joyed, and to say that | expect to
make better work would be consid-
cred egotistical on my part; at the
same time did | not feel reasonably
able to take care of his trade I would
not have decided to locate here.
With an experience of fifteen years
in the profession, devoted exclusive
ly to the production of high grade
portraiture and the many new ideas
and styles which | have to add to
those of Mr.. Hudson, it should en-
able me to meet the requirements of
the most critical and exacting. |
would like to add that 1t will afford
me great pleasure to have you call
and get acquainted, and while | ex-
pect to be kept busy | will never be
too busy to welcome visitor, and
even though you may not need any
work in my line at the present time
you could enjoy a pleasant and prof

handsome new styles. dS0w6
