CROW IS ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con-
tlnued Existence.

The record Of the crow is like its

It may be that in the great plan Of
nature, some time in the past, the
crow served useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard Take
the buzzard, for example. Once pro
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carbon

better to burn or bury the dead-leav-
Ing no excuse for the existence of the

beginning, the mission Of the crow, we
may con5ecturs waspto preserve some
equilibrium, some Balance in the econ
omy Of nature. It may be he was
placed here to hold in check the weed
seed and grain eating birds, because
weeds were factor in the past in
covering the waste places Of the earth
and making them fertile. However
that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since

waste places to useful grains and

Tracts in North Pacific
as Large as This Country
With Unfathomed Depths

There has been discussed the need
of comprehensive exploration OF the
Pacific ocean. It is believed, observes
a writer, that such an undertaking
should be on a far greater scale than
has hitherto been attempted, and that
future work should be broadly areal
rather than local, as on single islands,
or linear, as in single voyages. The
work of the magnetic survey ship Car
negfe, which makes repeated trips over
many interviewer sea routes, is an ex-
ample of the kind Of exploration that
is wanted. In the opinion Of men Of
science, It should be continuous
through ten or twenty years. 1t has
been shown how little definite infor
nation the world has about the largest
Of the oceans. One specialist declares
that In the north Pacific there Is a
tract twice as large as the United
States that has been crossed by only
a single line Of sounding at intervals
CT 25O miles wide, and that there are
O number Of. tracts as large as this
country that are entirely unfathomed.

RoUSES HENS FROM INACTI0N
Theory as to Benefit Of Use Of Arti.
feiai illumination Would Seem
to Be Plausible.

How can artificial illumination have
any effect on egg production, Is the
question being asked by some skep-
teal poultrymen who have never made
any tests.
The answer Is, according to the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New York state college of agriculture,
that the light appears to equalize the
time between meals and to shorten the
period Of inactivity Of the fowls dur
ing the long nights.
The long nights Of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use larger proportion Of
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditionS in the snringtime, when the
days and the nights are OF practically
equal length.
At the time of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York state
the months of April, May and June
the days and the nights are approx
mately Of equal length. Under these
conditions, fowls appear to assimilate
their feed, secure the proper amount
of exercise, and form their eggs to best
advantage.
The latter part of December there
are about fifteen hours of darkness and
nine hours of daylight, whereas n the
latter part Of June the reverse is true
there are approximately fifteen hours
Of daylight and nine hours Of darkness.
In other words, illumination at
tempts to initiate spring conditions so
far as the hours Of activity and the
regulation of feed supply are con-
cerned.

Tokyo to Treble Its Population.

miles-a startling contrast to its pres

Asahi claims that the absorption Of
the score Of suburban cities, some Of
which the editor says possess larger
populations than other principal cities,
excepting Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe,
Kyoto and Nagoya, viii make Tokyo
the largest city in the world. Suburban
Tokyo now includes the populous resi-
