Chinch Bugs Destructive.


Chinch bugs, which are extremely
destructive to corn and wheat and
which are supposed to have but few
natural enemies, the Biological Eur
vey found, are eaten by "a species OF
birds. Of the other insects attacking
corn, the Southern corn root-worm, or
spotted cucumber beetle, is eaten by
26 birds, and the brown chafer by 81.
The Southern fig eater, which feeds as
we'll on other fruit, is destroyed by IA
species of birds, the crow leading in
efficiency.
OF the insects pests feeding on for
age crops, practically all kinds are
eaten by some group of Southeastern
birds. One of the most important of
these -leafhoppers-are consun-
ed by 100 different kinds of feathered
enemies of the Southeastern States
and score or more species of birds
feed on the various kinds of clover
weevils.
There are many bird enemies of
truck crop pests in the Southeast.
From 19 to SO species of birds were
found to eat each of the following
Flea beetles, sweet potato flea beetles,
grapevine leaf beetles, grape flea
beetles, rice weevils, Colorado potato
beetles, and the 17-year locusts. The
survey disclosed that 40 species IF
Southeastern birds feed on horse flies
which, while they do not attack plants,
are exceedingly annoying to both
humans and animals and even trans
NIT some forms of disease.
The Biological specialists who
made the survey of insect-eating birds
in the Southeast draw the conclusion
that the birds of this region are much
more important to agriculture than is
generally supposed an dthat farmers
should recognize the fact and do all
int heir power to protect their feath-
cred friends. The bulletin may be Sc
cured free of charge on application to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture as

MANY BIRDS HELP IN
FIGHT WITH BOIL
WEEv|L PEST HERE

( WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 22.-At
least &C species of birds found in the
Southeastern United States are of ser.
vice in destroying the cotton boil Wee
vii, according to ornithologists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. A
much larger number of the $40 diff
ferent species found in the Southeast
also render important service to ag-
riculture by feeding on various in
sects which attack field crops, garden
truck, forage plants and fruit through
out the region These facts have been
determined by extensive field and lab
oratory studies made by the Biological
Survey, the results of which have just
been published by the Department of
Agriculture as Farmers Bulletin 755,
Common Birds of Southeastern Unit
ed States in Relation to Agriculture"
The most active of the Sc feathered
enemies of the boil weevil, it was
found, are the orioles, which are
among the few birds actually taking
the insects from the squares of the
cotton plant and the swallows, which
feed on the weevil while the latter are
in flight seeking to extend their range.
Tn uintor. tho most affioiop+ onoroiac nj
the boil weevils are blackbirds, mead
owlarks, titlarks and Carolina wrens.
The cotton worm is eaten by Al spe-
cies of birds, of which the cucko0s
are the most effective. These birds
frequently consume from 100 to $50 OF
the worms at a meal. Twelve South
ern birds attack the boil worm and 7
feed on the cotton cutworm.
White grubs are a serious pest
not only to corn but to Strawberries,
garden crops and grasses, are eaten
by 81 species of southeastern birds
Wire worms and their adult forms,
click beetles, another pest of corn,
are consumed by 1913 kinds of birds,
while 55 species feed on the bill bugs,
which also attack corn. Cutworms,
which often occur in the Southeast in
summer and fall and attack practical
ly all vegetation, are eaten by So spe-
cies of birds.

SEC. DANIELS TELLS
OF HIS LONG DREAMS
And How the Dreams Have Come True
Incidentally He Urges Democratic
Success in Maine.

Roekland, Me-, Aug. 3l,-"The dream
have come true" said Secretary Danicl
yesterday in an address here urging thu
election OF Senator johnson, Representa-
tive McGillicuddy and the other Demo
cratic candidates for Congress in Main,
ito the end that when Woodrow Wilson
is inaugurated for his second term mex
March the Congress will be in sympathy
with the policies of reform and progress
which the Democratic party, aided b,
forward. looking men Of other parties
will continue TO carry out
"Some days ago." said Secretary Dan
iels, IA veteran Republican member Of
the House, who suddenly became a ma
val expert and critic the day alter his
party went out OF power, paid me the
! high compliment of stating that as q
dreamer about naval affairs | might give
points to Alnascher in the Arabian
Nights.
IL plead guilty to having been dream.
er about the navy. Soon after entering
upon the duties OF secretary, | had sew

| listment, having found it short about
5000 men. This dream has been fulfilled
and in three years 6,63l men have been
enlisted as against 5000 during the pre-
ceding four years. And then, when the
authorized enlistment had been filled,
dreamed of Congress giving power TO
add enough men TO man all the ships in
the navy, something which had never
been contemplated since the Spanish
American war. And that dream was
translated into reality of the president
at an emergency to increase it to $4,000
men instead OF the limit of 81 800 fixed
under Taft Such dreamngs and such
fufllment of dreams is the basis upol
which strong navy must rest.
Il dreamed again, and dreamed of leg
islation that would provide enough Off
GERS to man all the ships, something not
seen in our navy in many years. 10 and
behold that dream is coming true. The
63d Congress added 300 appointments to
Anna polls and the Gath Congress au-
thorized 53l appointments of midship-
men. 1t also increased the officers need
ed by opening doors in aviation, engl-
neering, and instruction at Annapolis, to
civilization. That splendid dream Con-
gress has splendidly made fact.
Il had another dream for making the
navy more truly American in spirit. 1t
was that provision should be made by
which bright bluejacket might have an
opportunity to become an admiral. That
dream seemed too much akin to the
teachings of jefferson and Lincoln to be
realized, but Congress has authorized
the appointment Of twenty fiye smart
enlisted men each year to Annapolis, and
no longer is the door of the highest pro-
motion slammed in the face of aspiring
young blue jackets.
"There was another dream that has
come true in greater degree than |

Does your back ache constantly?

Tafts administration, only one dread.
nought was authorized My first dream
dream, but in view of the fact that both
the Republican leader and the Democrat
ic leader in the House opposed more than
one it was all that could then be real
lied. Congress voted three, the Idaho,
the Mississippi and the New Mexico,
which are nearing completion.
IL dreamed again, and this time
dreamed OF the most efficiently directed
navy in the world through the selection
of officers to command by the merit sys.
TEN rather than by the prevailing sys'
tenn OF promoting officers TO command
rank by seniority. No navy or institu'
ton in the world can attain the the high
est efficiency if men are put at the head
because of given term of service. The
64th Congress did nothing that Will mean
so much 20 improving the navy as abol-
ishing promotion by age and substituting
promotion by ascertained ability, initia'
tive and resource.
"There is one other dream, not 10
mention all, the realization OF which has
largest possibilities for making our
navy lead the world. That dream was
that the inventive and engineering was
scientific genius of America could be
enlisted 10 join with the naval experts
in solving the problems which the build
ing and improvement of truly modern
navy requires. The Monitor was tho
dream of Ericsson, civilian, in whose
honor Congress has just appropriated
$4,000 to erect a monument. The SUD-
marine was the dream of a civilian. My
dream was that naval experts and civil
ian experts should unite in studying tho
new problems which naval warfare OF
to-day have brought to usA How could
it be done? Eleven scientific and engi-
neering societies were asked TO select two
members of a civilian naval consulting
board, with Mr.. Edison at their head.
They cheerfully responded TO the call to
serve their country without pay, aud
have already performed service whi,h
"A million dollars could not have pro-
cured. Congress has gladly legalized that
board, appropriated a million and half
dollars for an experimental laboratory
and shown its desire TO do all things
necessary to make this dream a lasting
benefit toward increasing the national
defense of our country Under it we
have already modified the industry and
genius of the country, quite as imPor'
tant, as modern warfare shows, as nib
ilizing armies and fleets"

Now the troops, or 10000 OF them, are
going down there after all. 1t isn't too
late, for the railroad case is still unset
tied and by sending the militia at once
the administration can show the railroad
union men that there was no intention to
use intimidation or force in case of a
strike.
OF course another possible solution
would have been sending the guardsmen

much like confession that they were
