From this 1t follows that an effective
remedy for the ravages OF birds upon
cultivated fruits Is to plant the pre-
ferred wild varieties OF the number of
plants which bear fruit preferred by
the robin, many are ornamental and
arc easily obtained. The following arc
few OF the plants the robins arc fond
OF: blackberries or raspberries. cher
ries, wild black cherries china berries,
Towering dogwood. bluebcrries, persim-
mons Mississippi hackberries. western
hackberries. mulberries, cat brier,
green brier. red cedar, pokeberries,
smooth sumac. pepper berries, Ameri-
can holly, woodbine. black gum and
others.
Investigation OF the food OF 1926
robins from forty-two states, District
OF Columbia. and three Canadian prov
inccs showed that 1910 per cent OF
their food was animal, and $3.50 per
cent vegetable. or the latter more
than so per cent consisted OF fruit, more
than four-fifths OF which were wild
species.
While the robin to-day probably ia
doing much more good than harm, a
bird whose diet consists of so large n
percentage OF fruit may at any time
become pest whero It's natural food
fails and cultivated varieties are ac-
cessible. The birds must have food and
it is decidedly preferable to supply the
food they desire. and for which they
will amply pay, in tho destruction OF
harmful insects. instead OF killing the
birds.

THE ROBIN is OUR FRIEND

Few native American birds arc more
universally cherished than are the
robins. ON csthctic grounds alone
they receive free protection. partly
from the romance that clusters about
them in story and legend and partly
because of their graceful shape and
movement, bright color and pleasing
song, and close association with man
and his works. Quick to realize their
safety these birds nest and rear their
young about human abodes. and at
times become very abundant. their
numbers frequently reaching such pro-
portions that apprehension is felt
that they may become dangerous to
agriculture and horticulture. a study
