Birds Friendship
For Farmers Barred
I'm War ON Insects
Many Crops Saved From De-
struction by Songsters
Regarded in Past as
Enemies of Crangers

Studies of birds as insect destroyers
and of vermin and parasite pests, ex-
tending through century Of observa-
tions. show that many so-called bird
nests are themselves effective aids to
the farmer, and others not generally
thought to be insect destroyers are ac-
tive in that work, w. l.. McAtee, Of the
Biological Survey of the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington, says in a
review In the annual report of the
Smithsonian Institution just published.
Outstanding among these are cited
the English sparrow, often systemati-
cally destroyed as q pest, which never
theless feeds upon the seventeen-year
locust, asparagus beetle, locust leaf
miner, tent caterpillar. canker worm.
army worm and drop worm, and the
bob white quail, usually seed eater,
which also feeds upon the locust and
the olive scale
"The general utility of birds in
checking the increase of injurious ami
mails and plants Is we'll understood" he
continues. at must be admitted, how
ever, that while birds constantly exert
repressive influence on the numbers
of the organisms they prey upon and
even exterminate certain pests locally,
they are not numerous enough to cope
successfully with widespread inva-
sions."
Nevertheless. Mr.. McAtee cites nu-
merous authentic instances where bird
focks have destroyed insect plaques
and their eggs and larvae so complete
ly that such species have never re-
turned to the localities where formerly
they had wrought great crop damage,
or were present in such depleted mum
bers as to be almost negligible. In
most Of the cases he cites efforts Of
farmers or gardeners to eradicate the
pests had proven fruitless and the
crops had been given up for lost.
One reason for this near extermina-
tion at times, he says, is that birds
are prone to feed upon whatever food

Aeroplanes Purge Trees
OF Caterpillar Pests
British Farmer Has Airsnen
Scatter Insecticide Over
His Orchard

LONDON, June rs (By MaiD A new
use for aeroplanes has been found, re-
marks the DAILY News. strafing ca
terpillars from the air
a farmer at Kings9own, near Seven
oaks, found that his fifty acres Of fruit
trees were being demolished by cater
pillars, and hit upon the idea of en-
pioylng an aeroplane to dal with them
The air expresses of the Daimler Air
way pass over his farm and it was ar
ranged that one OF the craft should
scatter insectcide over the trees.
1t was calculated that atleast half a
ton of powder would be required to
treat all the fruit trees, and arrange
ments were made for an emergency
landing ground, upon which the aero
plane could alight and load up with the
insecticide.
The aeroplane then tew at height of
only Is to 20 yards above the trees
scattering the powder broadcast, and
thus covering the leaves of the trees
with fine coat of the poison. The op-
Grafton was so successful that hardly
single caterpillar was left alive.
1t is calculated that the cost of this
spraying, which occupied only half an
hour in actual hying time, is consider
ably less, in addition to being much
more effective, than any other method
of treating tthe trees, and as a result
the Daimler Airways have already re-
ceived numerous inquiries from other
fruit growers for similar treatment
by aeroplane Of their trees.

Wainwright Pleads
For NatiOnalism to
Preserve America
Assistant Secretary Of War
Hits Insernationalisis as
Foes TO Republic and
Peace i'm Memorial Address

From The Trtbans's Wnshisgfon Bafeaa
LEESBuRG, Va, July S.--In del,vev.
Ing the principal address at the dedi-
cation OF memorial to the men of
Louden County. Virginia, who served In
the World War, Assistant Secretary
Of War j. Mayhew Wainwright to-day
made an appeal for 100 per cent Amer
icanism.
"Sinee the great war" Secretary
Wainwright said, 'innumerable isms'
have sprung up in our country whose
declared objective is to destroy Amer
icanism. Groups OF peoples and
classes are organizing for every kind
Of purpose except patriotic and ma
tional one. lnsidious propaganda is
being directed against all the funda-
mentals of our government. The most
pernicious of all are those who are
striving to substitute internationalism
for nationalism. They would destroy
from within what no enemy has ever
been able to do from without--our
ideals of government, constitution, in
stitutions, liberties and leadership in
the world.
"The pacifsts, who were silent dur
ing the war and missing from the ranks
of our defenders, would destroy our in
struments of defense-the army and
navy-and render us weakling among
the nations without influence or pres
tige in the worlds affairs. These in
ternationalists and pacifsts-working
together and in most instances the same
people-are even trying TO induce our
youths to foreswear allegiance to our
flag and refuse to defend it, If such
are not enemies, then who is?
eve are a peace loving people But
if the price of peace is our existence
as nation and the destruction Of ell
we hold dear, then l for one do not
want peace. That is not the road to
reace--that is merely the road to
which fanatics point. The road to
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

is most easy to procure at the time.
So that If berries or fruit are abun-
dant in locality they will constitute
the birds main food for the time, and
when insects swarm in great numbers
the birds are attracted to that abundant
source and feed upon them until the
supply gives out.
He also tells how ducks have been
used as exterminators Of insect pests,
especially mosquitoes, by keeping them
on ponds or In marshes, where they
feed upon the larvae or young.
Quail have also been introduced into
alfalfa fields, where they are great
destroyers of the alfalfa weevil. and
while the farmers were at first against
the practice the better crops coming
from the fields where the quail had
almost eradicated the weevil demon
strated their value.
Summing up, he declares farmers
will soon see the wisdom of protecting
many bird species upon their land,
mainly by supplying food during times
of scarcity, water for drinking and
bathing, and nest boxes or nesting
places, as well as protecting them from
molestation at all times.
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

peace is the same one we have always
followed. America by her power for
good and for right will lead the world
70 pence by her example, her cc-opera-
Only will there be peace in the world,
erly Will that FOR which these men
fought be ultimately attained, If
America continues to be what she is
nova great nation using all of her
influence and might ON the side of
justice and liberty for all mankind.
As long as we adhere to the ideals
that made us a nation and as long as
we have strength, actual and potential,
that long will we be able to influence
the councils of the nations for peace.
The moment we become weak we will
be fouted. The moment we submerge
our indentity as a nation all is lost"

Water Shortage Threatens
Irrigation Supply in EYE

ALEXANDRIA,, Egypt, July 4 (By
MaiD.-To lower Egypt irrigation is
of the utmost Importance, and the
water for this purpose comes from the
Nile. This year the water level Of
Lake Albert and the White Nile,
whence Egypt gets 80 per cent Of it's
irrigation water, is abnormally low.
In 1914 the Nile was at its lowest
record this year it promises to be
lower. The Blue Nile, another con-
tributor, also is very low this spring,
as the Abyssinian rains were late
AS a result the distribution of water
will be strictly limited. 1t is feared
that irrigating machines will have to
be used as in 1914

Boys Body Found
Hanging in Hall
of His Own Home
GRY Associated PreaEl

Miami, Oct. 27.-Dangling at the
end of a rope tied around a closet
door of an upper room, the body of
Harry Leroy Layton, 17-year-old
boy, was found in the lower hallway
of the Layton home near Dinner Key
by a 10-year-old sister on her return
from school.
The girl secured a butcher knife,
with which she cut down the body,
then ran to the home of neighbors.
The body was entirely nude, with
the exception of socks and carriers.
Sheriff Louis A. Allen, who was
notified shortly after o'clock, made
an investigation which led him to be-
lieve that the boy had committed su-
icide. The youths parents expressed
the opinion that it was not a case of
suicide, but could assign no reason
for possible foul play. They told
Sheriff Allen that the boy appeared
respondent on losing his place after
working as a messenger for the First
National bank in this city for two
weeks, but had secured another place
with the Economy Shoe store here
and had worked there a week.
