One Of the most effective plans for
keeping birds from cherries and 9TH
er tree and garden fruits is simple.
Take two or three 2-pound manila
paper bags, dip them in linseed oil to
make them waterproof, place half a
dozen dried peas in each, blow them
up full of air and tie up the open end.
Fasten these bags in the trees, two
or three to each tree, or to stakes in
berry fields, with bits of stout Irvine
about six inches long. The wind,
blowing the bags about, will rattle the
peas inside them and the unaccustom-
ed objects and the rafting noise will
keep the birds out of every tree or
bed so decorated and do it effectively.
