CHECK SPREAD OF DISEASE
Further Proof Of How Necessary to
Mankind Are the Birds Has
Been Discovered.

4 new appreciation Of a heretofore
unknown service which birds render
to mankind has developed from Il re-
cent report OF Henry W Henshaw.
chief Of the biological Survey at
Washington. on research in connec-
ton with the diet OF birds
The value OF birds to the farmer
is plain enough Without their check
ing and destructive influence, the myr-
lads Of insects which would develop
In the course Of time would destroy
every green thing and tend to reduce
the country TO state OF aridity.
Their more general and direct In
fluencc In the checking OF the spread
OF disease has not. however, been
fully realized But IT is only neces.
sary TO note that 500 mosquitoes have
been found in the stomach Of q single
nighthaWk 10 appreciate what they
are doing 10 keep within bounds these
germ bearing insects Hundreds Of
larvae have been found in the stom-
aCh OF klldeer, and many shore
birds grcedily deyour the larvae of the
salt-marsh mosquito. AS mosquitoes
arc known 10 carry the germs of such
serious diseases as malaria. typhoid
and deugue fever. il is evident that
by destroying the insects the birds are
comforting a distinct benefit on man.
Since birds perform such an inyalu-
able service 1t is clearly worth while
for a community to protect them.
This can be done by furnishing boxes
for certain species, such as swallows,
wrens. martins. greatcrested fycatch-
ers TO nest in. and the planting OF
berry bearing shrubs and bushes, and
the establishment of "sanctuarics
wherein the birds may be reasonably
safe from their natural enemies and
from disturbance by man. in order
that they may breed and increase in
security.

The production of fruits. vegetables,
grains and livestock will be vastly In
creased in Arkansas this coming year.
Thousands of farmers are going to
diversity their crops and have more
live stock and poultry. Hundreds have
told ne personally that they were GO
iHe To raise enough produce to feed
their families and their live stock and
more to sell.
In many sections of the state the
early stages Of diverstGcatton were
marked by marketing failure. But
they began ut the wrong end The
first principle of good marketing is to
feed grains and forage crops to cows.
E@Es and chickens Live stock and
poultry are more easily marketed than
raw products They are the best
buyers of corn, hay and silage. Sell
Ing live stock and poultry. butter and
e9gs Is selling the finished products"
and this system brings the highest re-
turns and restores the fertility to the
land The first marketing problem is

to have live stock 10 consume a good

After this there are the problems
OF marketing fruits. chickens. butter
and eEEs and Vegetables Selling fruits
is. of course, a big question with a
natural truit-growing state like Arkan-
sas. would suggest that your com

the great fruit districts of Michigan
and see how the people there handle
their peaches. There is nothing like
seeing Just how the other fellow does
the thing successful year after year
Michigan is wonderful object lesson
of the value of having hundreds OF
farmers clubs. all cooperating in a
systematic plan for marketing their
products
The way the people of Iowa handle
their chickens is another remarkable
object lesson. Nobody need lose mc~ov
in marketing chickens. One man said
to me that he was going to lose ST.
600 in doing II right He should nor
go into II with the idea OF losing one
cent, for there is no necessity of loss
In Iowa he will see how the marketing

The Canning Proposition.
Then there is the canning PROPOSE

both the farmer and Gamer become
discouraged and declare there's moth

Gamer must contract with the farmers
for so much produce of standard

successfully. Promises will not work.
Only through contracting and max.

enough vegetables Will the Gamer be
successful. Success or failure in mosr
instances results from starting either
right or wrong. 1t is simple, but il IS
a mistake so often made because the
