A PLEA FOR
THE ENGLISH SPARROW

The English sparrow has his
faults, and to some folks are quite
annoying; but give him credit for
what he does, urges a writer ON.
pests.
Thousands of cabbage worms are
caught each year by the English
sparrows which frequent gardens
and fields where cabbage is grown.
The little chipping sparrow devours
the cabacge worm, and the English
sparrow, being a great imitator, has
localities where the little spar
rows are found. English sparrows
become proficient in worm catch
ing business. They will dive down
among the leaves and soon clean UP
a good-s'zed cabbage patch
Another observer of bird life,
says: 1--WE have seen THE English
sparrow catching and eating the
brown-tail moth. We have seen
him making a meal out of grass
hoppers. We have watched him hor
ping along branches of trees and
pecking away almost like wood
pecker. We do not know what he
was after, but Imagine it was some
sort of insect.
Some think he may be in pro-
cess of transform alton, adjust
ing himself to a country where in
sects are threatening to destroy neaI
ly all the fruits of agrri culture. We
may yet Live to be glad of his pres
ence."

PICK YOUR SEED
CORN NOW

We had late frost last year con
sequently it was easy matter to get
good seed corn at any time during
the spring. The fellow who took his
seed from the crib has pretty goot
stand and as usual is loud in his eN
pressions of the uselessness of pick
ing seed corn in the fall.
Even the fellow who intends to
pick his seed corn early is more
likely to put it off in season when
he has a good stand of corn, than
when he has worried all summer
over a poor stand.
The only safe way is to plan to
do it at a certain, definite time and
then do it.
/ Do not let anything short of a
most serious matter interfere with
your seed corn harvest. You can do
more in two or three days right
now say September 10th, to Sep
TENDER Goth to insure a good corn
VI w ASAl SOcl luSii you Cdu 40 1Q
as many weeks when next season
comes.
1t is impossible for anyone to
know whether or not the corn will
mature and become thoroughly dry
this season before a freeze, but
the chances are that it will not.
The only safe plan is to gath Ell
a good supply of seed for next years
crop and store it in a place where
freezing cannot injure it..
Mind you if you have a few bush
els of seed left over, you can usu--
ally dispose of it at good price
in the spring time.
Corn is likely to touch the dollar
mark next year, and it behooves
everyone to raise every bushel pos
sible. Europe Will consume our sur
plus after the war is over.
