Birds Will Eat
Injurious Bugs
Farmer Is Also Benefited
by Consumption of Vari-
GUS Weed Seeds.

prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agricuturel
The economic value of birds, espe-
cially insectivorous birds In farm dis
tricts. cannot be too strongly empha-
sized, in the opinion Of the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. For this reason
the bureau is interested not only In the
protection Of migratory game birds,
which is one of it's important func-
tons. but also In the conservation OF
all beneficial bird life.
Hardly an agricultural pest exists
but has numerous effective bird en-
emies. For instance. % kinds of birds
are known to feed upon the clover
weevil, and like number upon the
potato beetle, SO on the cooling moth,
46 on the gypsy moth, 40 on horseflies.
81 on billbugs. IS on clover-root borers,
90 on cutworms, 100 on leaf hoppers,
and 1913 on wireworms.
Devour Weed Seeds.
Birds benefit the farmer also by eat
ing quantities Of weed seeds. 1t has
been estimated that single species Of
sparrow in single state Iowa con-
sumed annually S75 tons of weed seeds,
Birds do not, of course, especially sin
gle out the noxious seeds or an insect
pest for food; but eating indiscrimi-
nately and voraciously. the most
abundant food is taken first, and this
is likely to be the moving caterpillar
or adult insect, or the seeds on the
plant or on the ground. where they
have been carried by the wind. Many
species of birds perform another Inn
portant service to man through their
feeding habits. since they act as scav-
engers. In districts where the disposal
of waste is not completely taken care
of by community and Individual effort
birds make a valuable contribution to
public health.
Domestic Cat ls Enemy.
Next to man himself, wantonly using
his gun, the worst enemy of farm birds
is the domestic cat. Storms also de-
stroy great many birds by cutting off
their food supply Protection against
the elements cannot often be provided
for birds except where refugees or sane
tuaries are maintained for them, but
protective public sentiment, sup
ported by effective laws, will lessen the
damage done by man and domestic an
Imals. Birds may be still further en-
couraged and increased by the pro-
vision of food trees, such as the null
berry, which will serve the double pur-
pose Of attracting them away from
cherry or other fruit trees and supply
ing them with suitable food.

Continuance Holds Bait
Easily Reached BY Mice

Recent experiments have demon
strated the value of wooden poison
station that may be easily and cheap
ly constructed to make poisoned bait
readily accessible to mice without ex-
posing 1t to the weather. Square
pieces of by 8-inch boards are cut
for bottoms. A depression to contain
the poisoned bait IS made across the
bottom board with chise or, If made
at a planning mill, by group Of ciFcu-
lar saws. The two walls Of the sta
ton are cut from by 4 inch strips
into 6-inch lengths. The whole Is
fastened together with four nails.
Mice are attracted to these poison
stations and have often been observed
running around them.

In talk delivered during the Inter-
national Live Stock exposition. held at
Chicago. DR.. John R. Mohler, chief OF
the bureau Of animal industry. United
States Department of Agriculture, told
briefly Of the Importance OF live stock
In our national economy. Zone may
ask, said Doctor Mohler, why It is
necessary or even desirable to have
a large animal population In coun-
try such as this with its millions of
automobiles and trucks and its vast
acres for producing cereal grains The
answer Is simple. Our domestic an
imals. developed through long years
of evolution, are marvelously efficient
In converting vast quantities of
grasses, forage, plants and other prod
ucts which are of slight direct value
to mankind into valuable animal prod
ucts. These products include meats,
milk, butter. cheese, leather. fats. wool,
mohair and almost countless by-prod-
ucts ranging from violin strings to fer
tilizer.
'gThe United States contains the larg-
est corn-producIng region in the world.
yet the human population uses only
about one-tenth of that crop directly
as food The public appetite much
prefers to use the corn crop in the
form of juicy steaks and savory hams.
Through the stockman's skill our do
nestle animals are becoming gradually
more efficient in converting coarse feed
into refined and concentrated products,
