TOADS ARE MORE VALUABLE
TO FARMERS THAN SNAKES
State Zoologist Of Pennsylvania
Says, However, Serpents Are
Friends Of Mankind.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Official opinion has been rendered by
Prof. H. A. Surface. state zoolog.st that
snake. But at that. the professor says.
the snake is good kind of creature and
should be esteemed by mankind.
The little Surfaces. members OF the
biologists family. do not fear snakes in
the least, their father testifles in state
bulletin. They readily pick up and han
die serpents when they have the oppor-
tunity." he says. This is because
have never taught them to be afraid Of
them. as most persons are"
AS boy. the professor testifes, he
held snakes in aversion. but when he
learned to know the snakes better he
recovered from the condition OF such
feeling"
cepted to the people Of the state as
worthy of protection. because they are
bug killers.
When the snakes eat toads, which are
also bug killers, the professor admits the
situation is complicated. But he gives
the toads the decision. IF you have
toads In your garden and can keep them
spondent, ''it Is well to do so. They are
really more beneficial as insect destroy
ers than are the serpents."
While Prof. Surface does not issue in
strucsions as to how the snakes shall be
dealt with when they come into conflict
ueved the plan of catching the snakes
and removing them unharmed to locali-
ties where there are no toads would
meet his hearty approval.
