BID THE THRUSHES WELCOME
these Birds Do Farmer Little Harm
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
very, the gray-cheek, the oliye-back
and the hermit thrushes.
The robins and bluebirds nest close
10 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

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 1856 stomachs showed that 6S per
cent of the food consists of insects and
their allies, while the other 80 DER
cent is made up of various vegetable
substances, found mostly in stomachs
taken in winter. Beetles constitute 21
per cent of the whole food, grasshop-
pers %, caterpillars 10, and various
other insects 9, 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
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.

(Ry c. W. RAPP. Department of Hort,.
culture, Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege)
Any orchardist who neglects GOV.
er crops is missing good oppor.
tunity for improving his orchard In
TACT, we might almost say that the
cover crop is an essential. It's use of.
fers a means of preventing winter soil
erosion, adding humus and retardine
fall growth of trees.
Cover crops are especially impor.
tant in hillside orchards. If the soil
IN these orchards is left bare the heavy
fall, winter and spring rains will wash
on the top soil and reduce the land
to a 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
y adapted to Oklahoma conditions.
These crops should be planted as soon
as possible in order to get well es-
-ablished before cold weather. This
Early planting is especially important
case of wet weather conditions.

WHAT PAYS ON A GOOD FARM
essentials to Success Are Proper Di-
Versiflcation and Good Yields
From Crops and Stock.

A study is being made by the Farm
management of why one farm pays
and another fails. Essentials to sue.
cess in farming are proper diversifi-
cation of the farm business. good
yields from crops. also from live stock
and large size business or farm.
Farms with poor crops generally
give low labor incomes, while farms
with good crops usually give high la
Dor incomes
The most profitable ten farms in a
certain locality were compared with
the average of some sixty farms visit
ed, and in all respects mentioned,
were found to be better than the av-
erage. In the matter Of size. whether
considering total acreage, acreage in
crops, or acreage in potatoes, these
ten farms averaged so per cent larger
than the average Of the locality. In re-
turns from live stock. the ten farms
showed ten per cent more income from
each animal than the average. The
crops were better, especially potatoes.
the most important crop. which went
122 bushels to the acre against an ay-
erage yield Of 80 bushels. The farm
business was so arranged on these ten
good farms that every man and every
horse was able to cover from ten to !
twenty per cent more ground than the |
average.
AS result of these methods. the |
ten farms mentioned showed an aver
age labor income of nearly s1,4OO,
while the average man in the locality
had a labor income of only s414. This
Is all the more striking when one con-
siders that mans labor income is not
merely what he makes above ex-
penses, but is what is left as pay for
lis years time over interest on his
Investment, which in the case of the
arger farms of the ten men mentioned
would be a heavier charge than the
Lverage.
