nightbawks are the most important,
according to the biological survey Of

there are sixty kinds of birds that eat

The nighthawk. OF bullbar. catches

hawk Is shot for, sport or eaten for
food In some parts Of the South. but

turists. and every effort should tie

The orioles, barn swallow, roughing

and the martin are all persistent en-
ernies Of the boil weevil. From the
standpoint Of the farmer and the cot
ton grower. these swallows are among
the most useful birds. Especially de-
signed by nature to capture insects in
miaair. their powers of fight and en-
durance are unexcelled. and in their
own field they have no competitors,
Their peculiar value to the cotton
growers consists in the fact that. like

Hammondsport Y. Y, June I'll
The new route for the Rodman Wan
amaker transatlantic flight from ST.
Johns n. f., to Queenstown. Ireland
by way Of the Azores and Cape
Finisterre. which recently was re-
yealed. is the chief topic of discussion
in aviation circles The following
statement was prepared for Lieuten-
ant Porte to give out: since il has
leaked out there seems no reason for
further denying that the Azores route
has for some time been under con-
sideration. have seriously con-
sidered this route. hat thought it best
not to make the matter public until
too late for any one else TO take ad-
vantage OF my plans as I have been
TO great trouble and expense in maxi
ing the arrangements. Until all tests
OF machine are completed 1t is i'm
probable that I Will be absolutely de-
cided as to which route ] Will take. -"
In spite of lieutenant Porte's qualified
statement the fact remains that John
Lansing Callan, 4 Curtiss aviator and
brother of Assem- blyman Calian, of
Albany. sailed from Boston on June
8 for Porto Deigada. the principal
seaport of the Azores. He took with
n m many spare parts and tools 10 re-
pair the Wanamaker machine and was
instructed TO arrange for gasoline
supply. He was given full authority
to complete arrangements there, 1t
Is believed here that caiian will
charter a tughoat and cruise about the
Azores when Lieutenant Porte Is due
there. Lieutenant Porte will not be
able to tell just what island of the
Azores groupe he VIII strike After
the Wanamaker machine leaves the
Azores it VIII encounter what Lieuten-
ant Porte terms merely landlubber
flying. His distance from land will
be comparatively short, and he can
steer by coast line instead Of COM
pass His main difficulty Will be over
when he finds Callan al the Azores.
