Swallows Fight for Farmers
They Are the Light Cavalry Of the Bird Army

"The army of the birds is q familiar phrase, yet the picture it paints
In most minds is perhaps, a n ARM o. the march rather than an army in
combat; the birds in annual migration from zone 10 zon rather than the
birds O N daily duty from field to field. The latter and more accurate idea
comes only when special branches of the service are pointed out-when, for
instance, a bird experts says, "The swallows are the light cavalry Of the army
of BIRDS ever OF the move, always or the skfrmish line, foraging the fields
of air, constantly m the alert to cut off stragglers from insect camps and
missing n opportunty to destroy these enemies of the farmer"
The phrases quoted re used in the opening paragraph O. a bulletin
issued by the United States department of agriculture. 1t is entitled, FOOD
Habits of the Swallows, a Family of Valuable Native Birds" 1t is the last
work done by one Of the greatest economic ornlthologlsts the word hs pro
duced, Prof F. E. L. Beal, for % years a assistant in the bureau of biological
survey, and whose death occurred October !, 1916.
The bulletin deals with the sever species OF swallow that ar OF wide
distribution in the United States, the Purple Martin, the Cliff swallow, the
Barn swallow, the Tree swallow, the VoletGreen swallow, the Bank swallow
and the Rough Winged swallow. The food habits of all the species are, OF
course, similar, but they vary in certain lore Or less important details. 1t
is shown, for instance, that while the other six species eat practically no
vegetable food except such as is incidentally taken with insect food, the Tree
swallow occasionally makes a full meal of berries OF seeds. 1t is definitely
shown, however, that ne swallow consumes any vegetable food that is OF use
to nan only worthless forms of wild berries and seeds being taken. And
even this forms such a small part of the tOald diet IS to b e negligible. Elk
cet for the Tree swallow, the vegetable element will not average onehalf
Of / per cent Of the total diet
With few exceptions, the insects eaten by swallows are injurious. Since
flying insects, and, for the most part predacious beetles and other beneficial
groundfrequentng forms escape. The biggest single item in the swallow diet
is Diptera, the order of insects to which belong flies gnats and mosquitoes.
This item constitutes nearly 81 per cent of the total when averaged fol the
sever Species The next largest item is Hemptera, the order of insects includ'
ing the chinch bug, plant lice and the like. 1t is shown that, Of the beetles
large part is made up Of weevls, including the cotton boil Weevl,
the clover weevi, the strawberry weevn, the alfalfa weevn, which Is a e.
Gently imported pest, and other highly destructive weevns.
On the whole. the swallows are shown to be a highly beneficial bTd
family and deserving If all the encouragement and protection that al be
given.

American Girls Fear the
French Maidens Will Win
Love of Their "SammieS'

Here is q letter from adelaide"
who is plainly worried lest the French
maidens carry off the bachelors in the
American overseas army:
do you suppose" she writes with
irony, "that there is any use for an
American girl to wait until the war is
over for her young man to come back?'
The following letter from an Ohio SOL
der in France was inclosed:
Zone of the fellows was telling me
Of an experience he had. He was
walking down the street nea the rail-
road when a girl Of about seventeen
years of age came along, accompanied
by her mother. The former spoke to
him, took hold Of his arm and started
to walk along with him. The fellow
said, Nothing doing but she persist
ed and threw her arms around him
and kissed him. He wouldn't stand 1t,
so she went through the same perform
ance again and said good-by. He said:
she was a ~nice-looking young woman,
too I think this was his first trip
from home"
If there were nc bar Of alien Ian
guage probably the soldier would not
have mistaken gratitude for love.
There is no doubt that the French are
extremely grateful for Americas war
help and ebullient in expressing 1T,
What the Yankee soldier thought was
an attempt to kidnap him was very
likely only a Gallo welcome. Adelaide
has need Of confidence and plenty Of
patience, but she contends that she
cannot keep up on letters like Il am
well and trust you are the same" with
the French competition as strong as it
is. However, Adelaide is having valu-
able experience. Perhaps some day
her boy will come back and marry her
and get a job as travelling salesman.
And what Improvement would that be
on the present situation?-Seattle

General Pershing Outlines
Rules for Paying Honor to
Our Brave American Heroes

Americas new medal Of honor, the
highest of the three decorations re-
Gently authorized by congress, may
be won only by officers and men OF
the American army who have per-
formed in action "deeds of the most
distinguished personal bravery and
self-sacrifice" under orders issued by
General Pershing and made public by
Secretary Baker.
The distinguished service cross and
distinguished service medal may be
awarded officers and men Of the allied
as well as the American forces n al
so to nurses and other women serving
with these forces. The service cross
will be awarded only for distinguished
service in action, but the service med
al may. be awarded ito anyone VINO
distinguishes himself or herself by ex
~ceptionally meritorious service TO the
government in q duty of great respon-
sibility In time Of war or In connec-
ton with operations against an armed
enemy Of the United States"

Magazine Writer'S Closeup
of Our General PerShing, as
a Man and American Soldier.

What of General Pershing, who may
one day have as great an army as any!
The question is asked as often in Eu-
rope as in America. 1t is not, l think,
known in America how deep a first i'm
preston his character as man and SOL
der have made on the British and, in
deed, the French, writes w. Beach
Thomas in Harper's Magazine.
WAen he landed IN England in June,
1916, one of the British newspapers,
whose correspondent had been for a
long while in his presence, compared
him with Moltke, Tho was silent In
seventeen languages" What General
Pershing, the master of several Philip
pine dialects, said was little and good.
When General Joffre shook his hand In
Paris a few weeks sater-a scene wor-
thy of q great historical memorial-he
said to one of his staff, General Per-
shing will think first and act after
wards" At all juuctures the general
has been cool and prompt and deter
mined. His colonel in Cuba wrote or
him, "He is the brayest and coolest
man under fire l ever saw in my life"
His own recorded ma:imS are few but
at the most worrying crisis in France
when news of the Arrival of American
troops was published while som OF
those troops were still in the danger
zone at sea-he said, 81 do not worry,
and when the days work is over l go
to Sleep"

Boy Scouts Are Appealed
TO by President to Help
Find Black Walnut Trees.

President Wilson's appeal to the Boy
Scouts of America to help win the war
BIZ locating supplies of black walnut
trees has been followed by arrange
ments under which the war depart
ment, the forest service, and the boy
scout organization have Joined efforts
70 Hnd the needed timber.
As President Wilson pointed out,
the war department program makes
the securing of black walnut lumber
for use in manufacturing airplane pro-
peIlers and gunstocks Of the utmost
amporfance. War department and o
est service officials are combing the
country for black walnut timber, which
can no longer be found in abundance
anywhere but has to be culled, often
ms single trees, from mixed forest
grewths. Much of the black walnut
that Is left is in farmers woodlots, and
IL Is primarily to locate this that the
boy scouts have been called into sery-
ice
Many thousands of blanks and let
fers OF instructions are being printed
by the government for distribution to
scouts and scout masters throughout
the region in which black walnut oc-
rrrs In commercial quantities. Indi-
vSluaa trees may be found as far east
rs Connecticut, northward in New
York to and beyond the Canadian line,
southwark almost to the Gulf Of Mexi-
co, and westward far into the prairie
states but the Ohio and Mississippi
valley states, the middle Atlantic
states, and the southern Appalachian
region are expected to furnish most OF
ahe supply. As reports are turned in
by the scout masters, they will be tab
Mated by the forest service and re-
ported to the war department.

immigration Promises to
Set New Record-SmaIleSt
Since the Colonial Days

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 80, it Is highly probable that a
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days, says
the washington Herald.
immigration statistics Of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January 1,
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to a few thousands.
The war, of course, Is responsible.
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number OF
immigrants. That Is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. Japanese
immigration this year will reach 1900
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill in 1916
and 5000 in 1915.

Snakes are a valuable asset and
there should be a campaign against
killing them, writes Gayne I. 4. Nor
ton, in the American Forestry Maya
zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food conser-
walton by ways of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public has be-
come acquainted with snakes as eve
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because OF
the thousands who have been engaged
In the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
"With this summer the millions of
wal gardens have given the snake pop
ular interest. Tremendously increased
tillage has brought people and snakes
together.
"Unless much education work is
done the number Of snakes that Will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
ing but misinformec gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are a national
asset worth many millions Of dollars
and should be conserved. The rela-
ton they bear to successful crops Is
Important-more important than even
the average farmer realizes"
