The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-04-07

The following are some papers and
essays that were read at recnt meet
ing of the members of the Audubon
society of the oBundary Street school.
They are worth while your reading
and show the Importance of preserv-
ing the birds. All Of these papers
were in our hands in time for the last
issue of the paper and two of them
we're printed but we are printing the
entire list so as to have them all TO-
gether. Our people have nevr come
fully to realize the value OF the bird
as destroyer of insects and if what
Is said about the boil weevil is true
and we have no doubt it is-then
we should be the more interested in
the preservation Of the birds. Miss
Mabry and her assistants are doing a
good work in teaching the children
about birds and their value.

tunately not all stand the winter cold
and so we have smaller number al
the beginning of the next season.
Have you discovered why We can't
kill it? Well, just remember that it
stays shut up in the cotton boil where
, We can't reach or see it until it is
ready to lay eggs for the next genera
ton. And while it is inside the boil
its destructive work is being done.
Then it is, that the bolls or blossoms
are so injured that they drop off. Could
we get at it in it's early life We would
spray it, poison it, kill it in some way.
But because of it's secluded early life,
We are helpless.
There are several ways, however,
by which we may help matters a lit
tie First, try to get kind of cotton
which will mature early in the sum-
mer before the weevil has time to
make much headway. To do this, we
must select an early variety to plant
Use liberal supply of fertilizer and
cultivate often and thoroughly to has
ten development. AS soon as posi-
Bile in the fall We should plow under
all parts of the plant which could be
used as food or for winter hiding.
Farmers should learn to plant less
cotton and more of other crops-to be
more independent. Plant fewer acres
of cotton and cultivate it better and
more profitable return will be the re-
suit.
This Is what mantle farmer may
do. Yet there is an easier way. He
may employ agents to help him. He
can't kill the weevil but his agents can
and will kill thousands for him gladly,
free Of charge, if he will let them. Who
are these workers? The birds and
some of the native ants.
About forty varieties of birds are
useful in this work. However, the
best helpers are the swallows and ORR
oles in summer and the meadow larks
and redwinged blackbirds in winter.
Other good workers which live among
us are the Carolina wrens, martins,
thrashers. mocking birds, cardinals,
killdees, bob-whites, night hawks Or
bull-bats, paintech bunting, phoebes
and cow-birds.
Would it not be we'll for the farmers
to protect and encourage thes bird
friends of his in the good work they
are so willing and eager to do for
him?

Why the English Sparrow is
Undesirable.
Fredna Schumpert.

Fredna Schumpert
English sparrows are the most unde-
sirable Of all birds. They are more
abundant than any other bird. People
have killed out other birds but they
still let the English sparrow run at
large. In fact they can't kill them
like other birds; they can only trap
them.
The English sparrow destroys gar
dens. He is almost as bad as a kill
ing frost in a garden. He eats the
small plants as soon as they appear
above ground. When the flowers appear
on the pants he pulls them off. In
stead Of eating worms and bugs he
eats the vegetables.
sparrows annoy, fight and run off
useful birds. Sometimes in the nest
ing season, the sparrow will bother the
nests and drive off the birds. They
drive off blueblrds. houseTTens and
swallows by destroying their eggs and
young and by taking possession Of
their nesting places.
They breed mites, lice and many 9TH
er kinds of vermin. They build nests
of straw and feathers which are good
breeding places for mites and lice.
They put their nests under the caves
of the house and mites may get
through into the house. They also
may start mites among chickens by
building their nests under the caves
Of the hen house.
The English sparrow destroys cher |
ries. grapes, pears, peaches, bulbs and

How to Attract Birds Around Our
Home.

Home
Herman Dickert.
We want birds around us because
of their songs, their help in gardening
and for their destruction Of harmful
insects.
If birds stay around US they, of
course, expect us to board them "free
OF charge for the work they do. IN
summer they can get all the wild fruit
that they want and will not bother the
orchard. All they want in summer is
a pool of fresh water to drink and to
bathe in. In winter when food is
scarce the birds look for Lood around
the houses. If you want to feed the
birds you can take box, open one
side of it, set it in tree or on a pole
and put food in it. Another way is to
take narrow box about two inches
wide and foot long, bore holes in the
side and put food in the box. Make a
platform for the birds to stand on.
All over the country people are
building nesting boxes for the birds.
Some are like hotels, others are boxes
with three corners open, others are
gourds with holes bored in them. Some
are tin cans with holes in them, set
On poles in shady places.
To keep squirrels, cats, weasels and
other animals that kill birds away, put
piece O. tin around the tree a foot
long and they cannot climp the tree.
Do not build platforms on the boxes
because English sparrows will both
er the other birds and run them away.
We should kill the English sparrow be-
cause they eat garden seed and plants.
They also run pretty birds away.
