TO THE FARMERS AND HOUSE
KEEPERS

Doubtless everyone knows the val
ue of the purple martin which us
ually makes its appearance in Ken
lucky from April LIST to the 18th, and
which. is one of the greatest insect
destroyers of the bird specie. And
since farmers of Kentucky lose
thousands of dollars annually thru
the medium of the insect and since
it is most imperative that the blue
martin be encouraged to the fullest
extent to come and remain with us,
l feel, that in justice to the hungry,
starving millions, that every house
keeper and every farmer in Kentuc-
ky should at once erect poles and
place upon same simple and sub
stantial martin box as a home for
these most valuable birds.
1t will only necessitate a little time
and the expenditure of very small
amount of funds and will result in
a saving of almost an unlimited
amount of foods and feeds.
Therefore, please do not put it
off, or "let George do it," but begin
today the erection of homes for these
busy, useful and badly needed little
birds.
