Baltimore. June 2S.-The New York

Value OF Birds on Farm

1t has long been known that birds
sre closely related to the work Of the
farmer, and nowhere is their value
more clearly demonstrated than in their
destruction Of insect life.
1t is estimated that One-tenth of all
the products of agriculture are de-
stroyed each year by insects, the annual
loss in the United States alone amount
ing TO $S00,00O,000. The enormity Of
these figures may be best shown by
means of the following comparisons.
Consider for one moment the loss to
property caused by the San Francisco
"?"ihGrake, and its FAR reaching results
in the financial world; yet although this
loss was s4OO,OOO.OOO, it is only one
half what the ravageS Of insects cost
this country each year. "There are
about 600 colleges in the United States
today. The value of the college and
University buildings is estimated at
S26O,O00,O00, and the endowments at
S219, 100000. If they should be de-
stroyed omorrow-buildings and en-
dowments--the insect tax Of one year
would replace them and leave balance
sufficient to endOw 32 new universi-
ties in the sum of Si0,OO0,0O0 each.
I'VE have in this country today
about 2O,0OO,0OO school children and
the cost OF their education has become
by far the heaviest tax laid upon the
surplus Of the country, yet it costs
more by many millions to feed our in
sects than it does to educate our
children" says the American Field.
1t has been estimated that the insect
eating birds Of Massachusetts consume
81 900 bushels Of insects each day,
from May to September 80, and that
the remainder of the year about half
this quantity is consumed, and still
damage done in the state annually is
computed at $5,OOO,OOO Massachu-
spttS is 5000 square miles in area.
while California has an area Of about
$4,000 square miles. Therefore a
similar calculation in California would
show an annual loss to the state of
nearly 100000, AS this tax is
levied on the people Of the state every

FRED FULLER HURT IN

They had been to Brawley in Ford

Fred Fuller was struck by bolt,
which broke his cheekbone, while Ar
