ALL FRUIT GROWERS FRIENDS
Birds That Should Be Protected Are
Listed by the American For
estry Association.

The American Forestry association
has published the fact that a cliff
swallow will eat 1000 flies. mosqui-
toes, wheat midgets, or beetles in a
day. The crops of four chicka les
showed 1.02S eggs of the cankerworm.
Take notice, Mr.. Fruit Grower. A
quail killed in a Texas cotton field
had eaten 127 boil weevils, and prai-
RE chicken had over 300 of them in
its crop. The bob white has been
known to eat 1856 different kinds of
insects. 1t has been estimated that
this bird will consume an average of
10000 insects and 100000 weed seeds
in a year. House martins, swallows,
and swifts eat rose beetles, may bee
ties, cucumber beetles and house flies.
The quail eats Texas fever-carrying
ticks; the killdeer and other shore
birds feed on the larvae of disease
carrying mosquitoes night-hawk' S
