BID THE THRUSHEs WELCOME
and Much Good--Hard to Over
estimate Their Value.

That the group of birds In which
are included robins and bluebirds do
a great deal Of good and very little
harm to agriculture. is the conclusion
reached by investigators who have
carefully studied the food habits of
these birds. Altogether there are
within the limits of the United States
eleven species of thrushes. FIVE of
which are commonly known as robins
and bluebirds. The other six include
the Townsend solitaire, the wood, the
veery, the gray-cheek, the oliye-back
and the hermit thrushes.
The robins and bluebirds nest close
to houses, and even the shyest of the
other species are content with the Sc
clusion of an acre or two Of woodland
or swamp For this eason these are
among the best known and most care
fully protected of native American
birds, and at times their numbers be-
come so great that it is feared they
will do much harm to crops and fruit
Recent Investigations, however, show
that there is very little ground for this
fear. On the other hand, they destroy

such vast number of insects each
year that it is probable that without
them many crops would suffer serious
damage.
The bluebird has not been accused,
as far as known, of stealing fruit or Of
preying upon crops. An examination
of SS5 stomachs showed that IS per
cent Of the food consists of insects and
their allies, while the other 80 per
cent is made up OF various vegetable
substances. found mostly in stomachs
taken In winter. Beetles constitute 81
per cent of the whole food. grasshop-
pers %, caterpillars 10, and various
other insects 8, while a number of
spiders and myriapods, about six per
cent, comprise the remainder of the
animal diet. All these are more or
less harmful, except a few predacious
beetles, which amount to 9 per cent.
In view Of the large consumption Of
grasshoppers and caterpillars we may
at least condone this offense, If such it
may be called.

COVER CROPS FOR ORCHARDS
Means Provided for Preventing Win
ter Soil Erosion, and to Hold
Moisture In Spring.

BY c. w. RAPP. Department of Horti-
culture, Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege)
Any orchardist who neglects COW
er crops is missing a good oppor-
tunity for improving his orchard. In
fact, We might almost say that the
cover crop is an essential. Its use Of
fers a means of preventing winter soil
erosion, adding humus and retarding
fall growth Of trees.
Cover crops are especially impor-
tant in hillside orchards. IL the soil
in these orchards is left bare the heavy
fall. winter and spring rains will wash
of the top soil and reduce the land
to rough infertile condition. Cover
crops will largely prevent this erosion
and will also cause large amounts of
water to be held in the soil during the
winter and spring.
Oklahoma soils are generally def
cient in humus and nitrogen. The
summer cultivation which is recon-
mended for orchards in this state pre-
vents the growing of summer crops.
Cover crops are. however, beneficial
to the orchard. and when plowed up
in the spring aid greatly in improving
soil conditions.
Wet falls are especially trying to
orchards. The wet weather causes
the trees to take on new growth
which is easily winter-killed. Cover
crops will aid greatly in preventing
this growth. They utilize the surplus
moisture and the result is that late
growth is largely prevented.
Wheat, barley and rye are especial
ly adapted to Oklahoma conditions.
These crops should be planted as soon
as possible in order to get well es-
tablished before cold weather. This
early planting is especially important
in case of wet weather conditions.
