almost entirely upon vegetable food
This consists for the most part of
weed seeds, since in the North these
birds do not appear to attack grain
to any great extent. They eat few
oats, but their stomachs do not reveal
great quantity of this or any other
grain
As the season advances they gather
into large fiocks and move southwark,
until by the end of August nearly all
have left their breeding grounds. On
their way they frequent the reedy
and on the inland waters OF the coast
region and subsist largely upon wild
rice. In the middle states, during
their southwark migration, they are
commonly known as reed birds, and
becoming very fat are treated as
game.
Formerly, when the low marshy
shores of the Carolinas and some of
the more southern states were de-
voted to rice culture the bobolinks
made great havoc both upon the
sprouting rice in spring and upon the
ripening grain on their return migra-
ton in the fall With change in
the rice-raising districts. however,
this damage is no longer done.
Cooperative Marketing of Wool.
Serious losses are often suffered by
the flock master because of improper
methods of handling the clip. West
ern wool growers are paid lower
prices than foreign producers because
OF inaccurate grading. In recent
years they have made some ad-
vancement in clipping and assort-
ing fieeces as shown by cleaner
clips being offered for sale in
some localities In the West some
of the large sheep breeders associa-
tions have officially recommended
certain changes in the handling of
wool by the growers. 1t is estimated
that improper methods of preparing
the wool for shipment cost the flock
master from one to three cents a
pound. for the manufacturer is fire.
quently put to an extra expense,
against which. of course, he protects
himself by lowering the price to the
grower.
To remedy this condition. some
form of cooperation among wool
growers in any given region is urged
in a new publication of the depart
ment of agriculture, bulletin zoe. THE
Wool Grower and the Wool Trade.
The individual alone can do little to
improve matters, for his clip is like
" to be too small to induce the buy
ers to make any alteration IN their
accustomed methods of estimating
wool values. With cooperation, how
ever, it should be possible to prepare
the entire clip of any section so that
the reputation of its wool would be
enhanced and the growers obtain the
full market value of their product. A
sufficient number of wool growers
should be included in each co-opera
tive association to enable at least
1000 or 5000 pounds of each of the
various grades to be marketed at one
time.
Cooperation will. of course. do lit
tie good, however, unless the individ
ual growers follow improved method:
