tion amounts to not more than 10 per
cent of the total and yet all of our diff
ficulties at the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war were caused because that
small percentage was disarrangeo.
In view of the apparently small in
terest taken in foreign trade prior to
the outbreak of the European war, it
is surprising to learn the real impor-
tance of the United States in the
worlds markets. In the fiscal year,
1928, our exporters sent abroad
nearly $2,5OO,OOO.OOO worth of prod.
ucts. This was exceeded only by the
exports of Great Britain. We were
the second exporting nation of the
world, ahead of Germany and far out
distancing France. And, what is more
significant, our exports during the last
quarter century have shown a steady
and rapid increase. The exports Of
the United States have doubled in the
last Is years.
1t is necessary and interesting to
point out that very large proportion
of those exports consisted of raw ma
terials and foodstuffs. This proper
tion, however, has been steadily de-
creasing during recent years.
In the decade 1870 to 1879 the pro-
portion of manufactured goods export
ed from the United States amounted
to only 2O.35 per cent. In the period
1890 to 1899 1t had increased to 1928
per cent. And in the period from 1900
to 1909 1t amounted to 1856 per cent.
During the normal years Immediately
preceding the European war, from
1910 to 1914 inclusive, the proportion
of our manufactured goods to total ex.
ports amounted to 1915 per cent. On
the other hand the proportion of raw
materials and foodstuffs exported from
the United States steadily decreased.
These movements are significant in
themselves and would have been equal
ly significant If their Importance had
not been forced upon us by the out
break of the European war and by the
new role in international affairs which
we in consequence are called upon to
accept

Every young man should remember
that if his income is just little above

become we'll off. If his receipts daily

three years of civil strife, the Union
army permitted to go through its lines

federate states were willing to receive
from the people of the North. In 1865
the receipts Of the society were S642,-

lives in the more open country and
builds its nest in hollow trees. 1t Is
abundant in many parts of the West,
where telegraph poles afford it con-
Venient perching and feeding places.
It's food consists of insects, small
mammals, birds, spiders, and reptiles.
Grasshoppers, crickets, and terrestrial
beetles and caterpillars make up con-
sderably more than half its subsist-
ence, while field mice, house mice,
and shrews cover fully 25 per cent
of its annual supply. The balance of
the food includes birds, reptiles, and
spiders. Contrary to the usual habits
of the species, some individuals during
the breeding season capture nesting
birds for food for their young and
create considerable havoc among the
songsters of the neighborhood. In ag-
ricultural districts when new ground
is broken by the plow, they sometimes
become very tame, even alighting for
an instant under the horses in their
endeavor to seize worm or insect.
Out of 410 stomachs examined, 314
were found to contain insects; 129,
small mammals; and 70, small birds

Some sprouting grain is pulled, but
drilled grain is safe from injury. Cali.
fornia horned larks take much more
grain than the eastern birds, specializ-
ing on oats, but this is accounted for
by the fact that oats grow wild over
much of the state. Weed seeds are
the largest single element Of food. The
insect food, about 20 per cent of the
whole, includes such pests as May
beetles and their larvae white grubs),
leaf beetles, clover-leaf and clover
root weevils, the potato-stalk borer,
nut weevils, billbugs, and the chinch
bug. Grasshoppers are favorite food,
and cutworms are freely eaten. The
horned larks, on the whole, may be
considered useful birds.

Black Tern

Range: Breeds from California,
Colorado, Missouri, and Ohio, north

eastern United States.
Habits and economic status: This
tern, unlike most of it's relatives,
passes much of its life on fresh-water
lakes and marshes of the interior. It's

muskrat houses. 1t lays from two to
four eggs. Its food is more varied
than that Of any other tern. So far as
known it preys upon no food fishes,
but feeds extensively upon such enc
mics of fish as dragonfly nymphs,
fish-eating beetles, and crawfisAes.
Unlike most Of its family, it devours
a great variety Of insects, many of
which it catches as 1t flies. Dragon
flies, May flies, grasshoppers, predace-
Gus diving beetles, scarabaeid beetles,
leaf beetles, gnats, and other flies are
the principal kinds preyed upon.

minnows and mummichogs, were found
