Occasion When Growers of Grain Re-
sponded to Appeal to Save Their
Friends From determination.

worth of the cotton crop was damaged
by the cotton boil weevil in the last
year and birds, especially quail, con-
slider such fare a treat and have a
fondness for Kidding the farmer Of
the enemies of his crops. What the
good birds do in the destruction of in
sects injurious to mans interests is
little short of marvellous.
One year at the headquarters of the
National Audubon society a wire came
stating: "Birds are dying in Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri in great num-
bers-result of sleet and SNOW" In
response to the wire 5000 worth of
grain, seed and chaff was distributed,
together with grit, to the birds and
saved many of the insectivOrOus birds
and game birds. The postmaster gen.
eral ordered the rural mail carriers
to distribute the feed free of charge.
