SHOULD ROBIN BE PRO.
TECTED BY
LAW?
Numerous Authorities Claim
that Al They Are Insect
Eating Birds, they Should
Not BE Killed.

Is the robin game bird that should
be killed and eaten, or is it a valuable
insectiyorous bird that should be pro-
tected at all seasons?
This is 4 question which the next
General Assembly will have to solve,
and orr readers are asked to consider
its Importance in an agricultural way.
Dr.. I. s. Palmer, in charge Of the
Game Conservation division Of the
Biological Survey Of the Department
of Agriculture, in answer to inquiries
from Frank NJ. Miller, of the Louis
lana Game Commission, quotes an
authority who gives the results Of
his observations at Abbeyille, La,
under date Of February Of this year
as follows:
II collected ~ robins near here
Yesterday and got the following re-
suits from an examination Of their
gizzards: 8 had eaten nothing but in
sects; the other four had taken re-
spectively 95. 80, 65 and 0 percent
Of insects and other invertebrates.
The insects include grasshoppers,
bugs, beetles, beetle larvae (wire
worms and others, caterpillars in
GLIDING cutworms. On the basis Of
the 18 stomaehs / have examined this
month, | consider the robin essen
TALLY an insectivorous bird in Louis
lana in February
The shooting of so beneficial q
bird should by no means be allowed
The same authority above quoted
under Date of Feb. IL, from Long
Bridge, La, wrote DR.. Palmer:
7 shot SIX robins to-day; 4 in q
blackberry tree and 2 on the ground.
Three Of these six birds had eaten III
sects, including lsrvae Of crane flies
which are sometimes known as leather
jackets. These larvae feed on the
roots or grasses, including grain crops
and other plants and r sometimes
quite injurious. Each Of the three
birds had eaten one or more speci.
mems of a leaf beetle, a plant feeder
and injurious"
These facts bearing the stamp Of
the federal government through :
conservation worker as widely known
as Or. Palmer, are entitled to serious
consideration BY the farmers and
planters Of the State.

CAPABLE
OF CLOTHING and
FEEDING SOUTH.

Washington, March 1I.-That the
cotton plant is capable not only Of
clothing, but feeding, in large part
the people of the South was the state
ment made to Secretary Dickinson BY
his nephew. who resides in Ennis,
Texas. He has informed the secre-
tarY Of the shipment to him from
Texas Of samples Of cotton seed flour,
bread and cakes. The food has been
privately tested for twenty years, and
the seeretary's nephew wishes him to
test it.
The cost Of the cotton seed -four is
said to be only so OF IS per cent of
that Of cereals, while It's nutritive
value is declared to be from FIVE to
seven times as great. To give the
necessary consistency, about 40 per
cent of wheat flower IS added to the
cotton feed flour, but for cakes and
such food no mixture is required.
Analysis shows that the cotton seed
contains 37.7 per cent more protein
than wheat flower, and though it is
deficient to the extent of AT per
cent in carlo bydrates, the lack can
easily be remedied by the use Of
vegetables and sugar.
Secretary Dickinson and his friends
are awaiting the arrival Of the box
with interest.

negro population IL 1890 was only
one-ffh Of / per cent of the total
shows STA Of those negroes to be
malattoes. while South Carolina, hay-
ing so per cent Of her population
negroes, ID che same decade, showed
only 81. Of them to be n1alsttoes.
Massachusetts,. With 1 per cent Of
her population negroes, showed that
1858 per cent of them had a Cauca-
sion strain, while Mississippi, with
more than one-half Of her people
negroes. showed only lib per cent
Of them TO be mulattoes.
Mrs. Hale argues that these stats.
tics establish the fact that as one
passes from the great cotton-grow-
ing States between South Carolina
and Texas toward the North there is
a marked increase Of racial fusion"
This seems to be the truth, and no
doubt it is due to che fact that the
Southern States have enacted laws
prohibiting marriage and miscegena-
ton between whites and blacks. Laws
against miseegenation have been pass
ed also by some Of the States above
Mason and Dixon's line, namely Della
ware, Indiana, Idaho, Nebraska and
Oregon, but the Eastern States have
no statues prohibiting it, hence the
racial mixture is increasing in that
section of the country.

SLAUGHTER OF The BIRDS
FsrmllIan POI Hunters Consider 0ss aandrsd
Buchs 4 Day for Each Hunter 4 Fair Huai.

AbbeviIle Meridional-With the
advent of March the hunting and
trapping season closed save on a few
birds and the blue wing teal duck.
The trapping season il Vermilion has
been the most profitable in the history
Of the parish, fur sales being more
than $4,000! Some contend it would
conserve the game better in this sec
ton to open the general season on
Oct. ! and close on Feb. 1. Later
than that date runs into the mating
season for a great many varieties Of
birds. even the ducks that nest in the
far North, and the destruction is
necessarily greater. It is also argued
that it is a mistake to allow an open
season Of jack snipe and blue wing
teals to extend beyond the general
closing date for shooting. A closed
season, ii is pointed out, should mean
closed for every kind Of bird, and to
leave a loophole gives the hunter who
would disregard the game laws an OPP
portunity to shoot other ducks and
birds, under the guise Of shooting
blue-Wing teals and jack snipe. The
game in Vermilion is a great money
asset il properly aafeguarded. At
present the pot hunter, who has nc
regard for the laws, is destroying
thousands Of birds and ducks annually,
and for which The general public re-
ceives no benefit. 1t is a known fact
that a number Of the porfessional poi
hunters on the marshes in this par
ish consider their days shoot a pool
one if they do not kill upward Of LOG
ducks each.

Mlscegenation I'm the Northern
States.

An article contributed by Mrs.
Annie Riley Hale to the current num-
Der Of Pearson's Magazine shows that
miscegenation IS aourishing in New
England and other States north of
Mason and Dixon's at a rate that
should crafty the Cosmopolitan
Society Of America" whose avowed
object is the removal Of all social and
racial lines. After calling attention
to the Boston Herald's declaration
that negro men are marrying white
women in Massachusetts to the num-
Der of about fifty every year, Mrs.
Hale presents some figures from Bull
Ietin No. s, of the Twelfth Census,
showing an astonishing number Of
mulattoes in the Northern States,
where the increase is greater than in
the groups Of Southern States, says
the States.
The figure which stands against
New Egland in the computation fol
1890 is 32.7 per cent; against The
North Atlantic division, 23.2 per cent;
against the most northerly group in
the South Atlantic division, including
Delaware, MARYLAND. District Of Col
umbia, Virginia and West Virginia,
1872 per cent; while for the Southern
group. comprising the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida, is is only IL per
cent. Opposite the North Central
division, embracing Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
~nesota, Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska and
Kansas, stands 81 per cent mulatto
in the total negro population; where
as the South Central group, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. shows only Il per cent Of its
large negro contingent with an infu-
sion Of white blood.
