FARMERS ARE TOLD
NOT TO KILL CROWS
THEY EAT MANY INSECT PESTS,
THOUGH THEY LIKE SPROUT-
ING CORN AND TENDER
PLANTS, TOO.

Atlanta, Ga.-The United States
Department of Agriculture, accord
ing to information received here by
the Georgia Department of Agricul-
ture, has come out in defense of the
crow with the statement that it mer-
it's the death penalty at the hands OF
the farmers on1y in extereme cases.
The Federal department experts
admit that the crow likes sprouting
corn and will do harm to it when pos
sible, but they add that young and
tender sprouts constitute but one
item on the crows menu. The crow
has a large and varied list of deli
cacies it likes as much as it does corn,
the experts insist.
For instance, according to the gov
eminent agricultural experts, the
common, or field variety of crow
land that is the only variety the
farmer knows) eats many insect
pests of many kinds and in this way
is constantly doing the farmer SER
vice which he does not always appre-
ciate or notice. The advice is:
"catch the crow when it invades
fields of sprouting corn, but do not
kill crows Unfortunately at other
times and in other places"
A trap has been invented which
will really catch the wary crows, the
asserts, recommending
its use or the employment of warn
ings to the feathered pirates where
they are too numerous.
1t is not stated how the warnings
should be worded in order to attract
and arrest the attention of the crows.
The old-style warning had the form
Of a fantastic figure in old clothes
that stood out in the corn field, COM
monty known as "scare-crows."

Charleston, S. C.-Better varieties
of seed, rather than the early matur-
ing varieties, is the proper method of
combating the boil weevil and i'm
proving the cotton crop, D. E. Nc
Cuen, president of the Atlantic Cot
ton association, told the members of
the association in his annual address
here Monday.
The Atlantic Cotton association is
a component part of the American
Cotton association and is made up of
members from the states of Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Caro-.
lima, Virginia and Florida.
Recently, 1 was talking to the
head of the extension bureau of one
of our agricultural colleges, who
stated that they had advocated these
maturing varieties" said Mr.. Nc
Cuen,, "but that they had now come
to the conclusion tina tit was mis-.
take, that the way to combat the boil
weevil was through intensive cult
walton, the picking up and burning
of squares, busting and spraying
The same agricultural college is now
trying to correct the evil by intro
ducing better seed.
"The way to increase the use of
better seed is, first, through intelli-
gent propaganda, second intelligent
selection of seed for the original
planting and intelligent selection on
the farm for replanting from year to
year. If 1 had my way about it,
1 would have the federal government
or state governments confiseate every
pound of seed at the gin and crush
them so they would go out of exist
ence, and give back to the farmer
seed which intelligent Judgment ad-
vised for the purpose for which cot
ton was to be used"
