stead of being regarded as an enemy
by western orchardists, the blackhead
should be esteemed as friend, since

black olive scale alone constitutes a
fifth OF the birds subsistence. and the
frosted scale and apricot scale also
are destroyed.
The blue grosbeak is a small but
beautiful bird which breeds over the
southern two-thirdT OF the United
States. Blue grosbeaks do no damage
during the nesting period, and. in fact.
are of great value to any farm they
choose for home. since they eat
many insects. A tenth of the sub
sistenee Is made up of purslane cater
pillars and cotton cut-worms, enemies
OF sugar beets and cotton. Because OF
its effective warfare on these pests,
the blue grosbeak is an efficient ally
Of the farmer and deserves to be pro
tected.
The gray grosbeak, parrotbill, enters
the United States only in Texas, Ari-
IONA. and New Mexico. Like the blue
grosbeak II is more fond of cater
pillars and grasshoppers than of other
insects. Weevils are next in order of
preference. In August and Sep

yrosbeak eats practically no beneficial

noxious weed and insect pests, entities

creeper, ,bmeberTies, blackberries and
wild grapes. Not all the thickets on a
farm should be removed, since they
serve to harbor birds, to protect them
from enemies, and to furnish nesting
sites. Where thiokets are lacking, the
growth Of artificial ones should be
encouraged, for they are very attrec-
tive to grosbeaks, particularly to the
cardinal.
A permanent drinking and bathing
place on the farm and in the garden

potent attractions for birds, and with

mer
No efforts to attract grosbeaks will
succeed, however, unless protection is
assured. Grosbeaks are already pro
tected by law in practically every
state, but, since the machinery for the
enforcement Of the laws is often in
effective, statutory protection must be
supplemented by individual action,
particularly under trespass laws.

Seven kinds OF finches, commonly
known as grosbeaks. are to be found
within the boundaries Of the United
States. The majority of these are
good friends Of the farmer and de-
serve to be widely known in order
that their services may be appre-
ciated. The grosbeaks are easily dis
tinguished from other finches by their
stout forms. bright plumagc. massive
bills and melodious voices. All OF
these birds perform invaluable serv.
ice TO our farmers by destroying Ger.
tain OF our own worst insect pests.
The rose-breasted grosbeak. potato
bug-bird, has an extensive range,
breeding from Kansas and the noun.
tains Of Tennessee north to Canada
and north and east to the Atlantic
ocean and Newfoundland. The rose
breast has long been held in high
esteem because of its habit of preying
upon the potato beetle. and the name
potato-bug bird suggests its impor-
tant services in this direction. Larvae,
as well as adult beetles, are con
sumed and great many are fed to
nestlings. No less than tenth OF
