sign to keep implements from run

unfortunately the matter became mix

Some Statistics Showing the Value Of
Certain Birds to the Orchardst.

Some Statistics Showing the Value of
Certain Birds to the Orchardist.
From various sources have compil-
ed the following data relative to GER
tain common birds found in our or
chards. The facts here presented offer
arguments sufficiently strong to con.
vince every fruit grower in the county,
hat not only is 1t to his interest to put
up trespass signs and see that the bird
hunters are kept off, but that he also
owes it as a duty to the fruit industry
of the county To do so.
LIST. The Quail-rhe food of the
quail has been carefully studied by Or.
Sylvester Dwight Judd, of the BIologi-
cal Survey, with results that will
doubtless surprise many people.
Speaking of Is birds which he shot, he
says:
These Is had taken weed seed to the
extent of 90 percent of their food
Thirty eight per cent was wagweed, 2
percent ticktrefoil, partridge pea, and
locust seeds, and % percent seeds of
miscellaneous weeds such as pigweed,
sheep sorIel, Pennsylvania persicaria,
climbing false buckwheat, trumpet
creeper, paspalum, jewel weed, and
pigeon grass. though the stomachs
and crops were not well filled, the
birds had eaten {, 1872 weed seeds. One
crop contained 400s pigweed seeds,
another 500 seeds of ragweed. One bcb.
white, in addition to other food. had
consumed 500 seeds of sheep sorrel.
another $40 seeds of pigeon grass, and
several 90 to 100 seeds of jewel weed.
About IA percent of the quairs food
for the year consists of animal matter
insect and their allies. Prominent
among these are the Colorado potato
beetle, the striped squath beetle, the
chinch bug, grasshoppers, eutworms
and other pests of agriculture. AS the
quail subsists on vegetable matter dur.
ing the late fall winter and early
spnng, it is evident that during the
height of the insect season it must feed
entirely upon these creatures in order
that they should constitute IA per cent
