PROF. GREEN RETURNS.
Made An Extended Tour of the Cit
rus Fruit Belt.

THE situation in the citrus fruit
belt is quite promising" said Prof
E. C. Green director of the South
Texas Gardnes Saturday, upon
his return from weeks trip of in
spection and picture taking through
the territory included in the fruit
belt.
Although the season in that part
of the Gulf coast country has been
dry one, the professor said, the
Satsuma trees, the only variety of
which any number have been plant
ed. have made a good growth and
give promise of bearing a very fair
crop.
While in Houston, Professor
Green was shown some ginger root
grown from specimens sent out by
the department of agriculture
twenty-five years ago. This, he says,
is very interesting and maybe OF
considerable Importance to this re
gion, as the ginger root is used
largely in medicine and in making
various drinks and practically the
entire amount used in this country
now is imported from India anC
I China.
In San Antonio. Prof. Green saw
some splendid growth of prickly peal
and spineless cactus at the ground:
of the experiment station, and alsC
at the cooperative station. where {

These birds are to be looked for In
trees and groves; though so shy and re-
firing, yet they will often build close to
a house. when their ways may be noted
and their gurgling, liquid notes may Of
ten be heard. I found these birds nest
ing over near Union Ford in the yard Of
a house that stands little back from
the road that leads into Cottonwood can

sects, and is partial to tent eaterpillars.
The Belted Kingfisher.
3-As already indicated, to this order
belongs the kingfisher. OF the $50 known
kingfishers, only eight occur in the
Americas, and Of these. the United
States has two. OF these, the common
form is the belted lkingfisher. This is
the big-billed, blue bird that may often
be seen sitting on a limb near water,
into which it will plunge to catch fish.
Whether successful or not land also
when startled from its perch) it will
usually speed up or down stream,
springing its rattle-a sort of diabolicai

cess or failure. sunshine or cloudy
weather. However, the kinghshers do
not depend entirely upon fish, as they
vary their bill of fare with frogs liz
ards, grasshoppers and crickets.
This bird drives tunnel into a per-
pendicular bank to a length anywhere
from four OF five to fifteen feet; at the
end Of that tunnel a chamber is eXca-
waited. and in it the eggs are laid and
the brood reared. The specific name OF
this form connects the belted kingfisher
with a pretty story Of cOntugal affection
in Greek mythology.

XIII-The thirteenth order of birds
(PsittacD. which includes parOquets
and parrots, is not represented in Utah
although an acquaintance of mine, and
an old resident Of the state, insists that
i'm the early eighties a gOOdly number
of paroquets came into Utah valley by
way of Spanish Fork canyon; but no
specimens were taken, and no other rec
ord of their supposed appearance was
made.
cuckoos and Kingfishers.
XIV.-In the fourteenth order
(Coccyges) belong the cuckoos, the king
fishers and the trOgOns-a composite or
der having three families and ten spe-
cies and sub-species.
The birds forming this order are not
closely related to each other. This is
seen in the fact that. while the cuckoos
have slightly curved bills, the trogons
have broad, short and stout bills, and
kiHgfishers have long, stout, pointed
bills. other differences may be noted
i'm the tail; that Of the cuckoo being
long, that OF the trOgOn short and
bread, and of the kingfisher medium.
There is also a noticeable difference in
the feet The cuCkOos and trogOns have
two toes in front and two behind, while
the kingfisher has three toes in front
and one behind, and the middle and
outer toes are Joined for fully One-half
their length. In food habits, too there
Is a marked difference, especially so far
q S the representatives of the two fam
lilies to be found in Utah are concerned.
The cuckoos are efficient destroyers of
insects, and are especially fond of tent
caterpillars; while the kingishers live

into the water from some conveniently
located observation point
The Strange Road-Runner.
We pass now 10 a consideration, a lit
tie more in detail, of the several local
forms of the two families of this order.
1.-The road-runner. This strange
bird is restricted to the southwestern
portion of the state, where 1t is to be
found in the sagebrush areas: it is a
ground dweller, and is a rapid and ex-
pert runner. Its food includes a re-
markable variety, such as Crickets, bee
ties. caterpillars, grasshOppers, cent?
pedes, lizards, crabs, snails and snakes,
1t viii not infrequently dart out of the
sagebrush and run ahead of the horses
as they trOt, keeping in the lead with no
difficulty; and then it viii suddenly turn
out, and stop itself. apparently by
throwing its long tail over its back as
a sort of brake. There is little about
this bird. which externally resembles a
fowl. to indicate that it is a cuckoo;
but such its structure declares it to be.
Another name for this species is the
ground cuckoo.
The California Cuckoo.
2.-Of the cuckOOs proper, we have the
western representative of enc of the
eastern FORMS which is called the Cal
ifornia cuckoo, and is a sub-species form
Of the yellow billed cuckoo.
These birds are probably more widely
distributed than at first might appear.
They are so quiet and retiring that only
one who is looking for euckoos is likely
to ind them. They are not numerous
