BEACKBIRDS
RAID THE CORN

Red-winged blackbrds are causing
much trouble for farmers in New Case
tie county by their attacks on corn
fields. The worst feature OF this raw
aging by the winged pests is that they
are protected under the Audubon So
ciety's law enacted by the Legislature
and cannot be shot, no matter how
much damage they do.
IT was said today that this specie of
blackbirds' had destroyed fifty per cent
Of the sweet corn on the estate Of
Henry p. Scott near Delaware City,
and other farm owners in. that sec
tion have suffered nearly as. bad by
the birds raiding their corn.
On the farm Of Governor Lea, The
Orchards near Reybold station Swarm
OF blackbirds alighted in his field Of
sweet corn the other day and in an
hour and a half they had eaten 500.
ears OF corn. They rip off the corn
IN rows and consume il in short order,
1t is probable that the next Legisla-
ture will amend the law TO take red
winged 7blackbirds out of the protected
species. -.-

NOW BROWNTOWN
SAYS SOME THINGS

Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL
Kindly allow me a space in your paper,
which we appreciate as the best in up
holding sportmanship in this city, to state
that the Browntown team is willing TO
play any team In the city or State thar
lays claim TO the championship. The
Browntown club has been organized for
the past six years, but has been unable to
play but few games, just because the
men have proven themselves able to go
out and get the '1ong green" We tried
to get game off Manager Reeves bunch
of peanut leaguers last Saturday evening,
but he said that he did not play profess
sionals and pickup teams. guess Lester
has cold feet. Speaking about salaried
players we have one player on the
champs whom the kid" paid $40 for
one game. Yesl MOI Lesterl Concerning
Ned Fahey's X-Wilmington team which
the duPonts play Labor Day, how's that
for a pickup team? Ned" organizes a
new team every Friday night. but he is
god fellow. He always paid the Brown.
town boys gocS money when he needed
their services In conclusion let me state
that the Browntown team is ready to meet
any team in the State, on any old DUNN
with the same team that they won the
city league championship two years ago.
Respectfully yours,
