sings merrily when at rest.
In the latter part of May, the night
of the 25th being counted on with al.
most dead certainty as the date, they
disappear as suddenly as they come.
Quite as lpunctual on the night of
August -21 following they return to
make the work of destruction as
thorough as they can. Their plumage
Is now sober, yellowish brown. All
night on August q their chirp can be
heard as the myriads of birds flock in
from the ocean, bound for the rice
fields. The flight ceases as morning
dawns.
No one ever saw a rfca. bird coming
in on the following day, but when
darkness falls on the evening of Aug.
ust % the fight is resumed. It con
tinues during the succeeding nights
until the 25th That night ends it, ana
then MILLIONS of the birds have spread
themselves over the rice fields.
Men, women and children are post
ed with guns and abundant ammunI-
tion to every five acres of rice, and
each gun consumes on an average two
pounds of powder with the necessary
accompanying shot between daylight
and dark, the pepiod4of daily effort to
save the crop.
"Cf course great number of the
birds are killed, not only by.oura hired
but by sportsmen. From eat
ing rice they become very fat and
their bones are softened. They are
delicate edible morsel, being greatly
improved in quality in this respect
even. over what they are as reed birds,
as they are known farther to the
north.

WAR ON RICE BIRDS
South Carolina Planters Wage a
Perpetual Campaign.
At Least One Quarter of Crop of State
Said to Be Lost Through Ravaees
of Myriads of Feathered
Songsters.

New York-iI venture to say TIN
at least one-quarter of the rice crop
of South Carolina is destroyed an
nually by the rice bird" said q rice
planter of that state.
For years the planters have beer
clamoring for some method OF riddlng
their fields of this pest, and, having
noticed that a living hawk lowering III
the air over rice field would cause
the departure of the devastating birds,
negotiations were a few years ago en-
tered into by the rice planters with
man who was an expert in the train
ing of falcons, for experiments IN
training hawks. The effort was made
but our hawks did not prove tractahle
and We had to give up that idea.
Then we tried the perching of
stuffed hawks here and there about
the field, in poses of evident watching
| for opportunity to swoop down on the
rice birds. This would have the de
sired effect for a day or SO, but the
little feathered pests would then dis
cover that the hawks were not the
real swooping down kind and resume
their raids.
"Guns, drums and other implements
for carrying destruction among then
and making noise to frighten them of
are the only means left u.s. The 'birC
minders, employees whose entire dut!
is to shoot and frighten away the ric'
birds from the fields, are an importan
and expensive factor in rice produc
ton in South Carolina.

7 experiments with alfalfa mdal1in food
stuffs and drinks which shd considers
very successful, although she has not
finished her work In a tbk to the
{ members of the Shawnee dounty AL
falfa club she explained theiresults Of
her experiments. The SAMPLES which
she brought before the club were
tried by those present and the yer
dlct vas that they were very good.
Miss lngham's experiments SO far
have been bread, cakes and tea. The
cakes, goodly supply of which the
young woman brought to the club
meeting for test, were perhaps the
most successful, as in this form of
food ralsins and nuts were used. which
partially removed the decided HAY"
flavor In the bread the alfalfa taste
was partially overcome by the adrfix-
ture of other kinds of -four ard cara
way seed The nrinciral objection vet
to be revode, Mss Ingham said, is tie
color, The alfalfa meal used thus far
has been unbleached and when cooked
turns 4 dark green, which makes the
bread less appetiairg. However. this
fact did not deter the members of the
sltalfa club from generously sarnling
the several big loaves which Miss Ing
ham had mixed and baked for the oc-
casicn.
Miss lngham told the club members
that her experiments with alfalfa
leaves in the making Of tea had rot
been entirely satisfactory Alfalfa
leaves have been mixed with tea and
coffee ard the results have been ac-
certabie, but alfalfa brewed alone was
quite a failure en- account Of its un-
palatable flavor
Il have used all these experiments |
on the family table" Miss Ingham !,
said, "and the folks have been patient
with me, but I find that people must
get. accustomed to the taste of alfalfa
before they will learn to like it, 1t is
like learning TO eat Olives oysters and
other foods; the taste must be culti-
waited When this is done alfalfa nav
play an important part in the cost Of
living, as ii is certain to add to the
health and longevity Of those who use
it,"
Miss Ingham did not touch upon the
meat boycott in her talk before tie

interest the value Of this new food.
She stated that alfalfa has better food
qualities than corn; that it has 'as
much as meat and has the additional
