CLUB
DISCUSSES FARM

At the meeting Of the Wide Awake
club on Friday evening the comparative
profits of the small and large farm wa
discussed. In the absence of Joseph
Promo the arguments were presented
by the president of the club, George B.
McGilvra and George P. Hackett.
Both were inclined to favor the farm of
80 acres or less because the growing
of crops can be more intense, have
better fertility, more profit per acre,
labor problem not so vexing and not so
much expensive machinery required.
Mr.. McGilvra said that no acre on
earth had ever been made to produce
to its full capacity. The advantages of
large farms were also pointed out. Be-
side the above there was music, a
play, recitation by Ruth McGilvra,
talk on Europe by H. E. Cole and cur
rent events by the president. Mr..
Mc(1ilvra brought out startling list
of industries in this country that will
be enriched by the European war.
This will be felt over the entire
country.

Birds Help Farmers.

Encourage the birds to build
their nests near your home.
Don't never kill them or try to
drive them away. If it were not
for birds, the insects would eat
up every thing on earth.
Birds eat not only insects and
destructive little animals, but
they also eat the weeds. The
value of the principal field crops
in a recent years was three and
a half billion dollars. 1t was es-
timated that the sparrow fami-
ly ate very many weeds which,
if not destroyed, would have
choked the crops.
Many hawks do untold good,
eating thousands of field mice,
which otherwise would destroy
the crops. In the west, a few
years ago, 600 acres of land was
sown to wheat. As soon as the
wheat appeared, missions of field
mice poured in. from the country
around and began to to eat it..
Hawks came and began to eat
the mice. Farmers began to
shoot the hawks. The mice kept
on increasing, and the wheat
kept disappearing. At last the
farmers appealed to the Govern.
ment expert for assistance. He
showed then. how to kill the
mice by sprinkling the field with
chopped grain soaked in poison.
He tol0 them, too, that the hawks
were the farmers best friends;
tnat they must encourage them
to come. and must import more,
if enough did not come of heir
own accord.
The farmers did as they were
told. After the wholesale pois-
oning Of the mice. the hawks
kept the remainder so reduced
that they did not do much harm.
The hawks saved the 600 acres
of wheat for men instead of
mice.
