On every farm IS a force of work
ers who receive no pay. vet, without
their help, crops would ha decided
ly smaller-in fact, it is doubtful if
crops could be raised if these tire
less workers went on a strike" for
few years. These workers are the
birds whose daily bill of fare con-
sists largely of destructive insects.
A number of the birds are classed
as game birds which, besides keep
ing down the insect population,
serve another useful purpose as food
for the farm family during the
| hunting season.
Aside from the very considerable
food value of game birds, the eco
nomic value of the feathered tribe
to the farmers of a number of the
states can be expressed only in
terms of millions of dollars because
of their activities in controlling in
sect pests and destroying the seeds
of nOXious weeds.
A. Willis Robertson, chairman of
the Virginia Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries, calls attention
to statement to the effect that
each insectivorous bird eats 100 in
sects each day, (which would be 49,
$50 for a six months period" Mr..
Robertson reminds. But, obviously,
that number is really inconsequen-
tial compared to the millions of de-
structive progeny which would
spring from the insects devoured by
a single bird
Taking Georgia as an example.
because of the survey conducted by
Commissioner Peter S. Twitty, of
the Department of Game and Fish,
it is found the wild life of the State
has a food value of many millions.
Reports on the game taken during
the 1929 season show it was
worth S5,236,25O. That the esti-
mate is conservative is apparent
from considering that rabbits were
valued at 25 cents each, while deer
were estimated to be worth $50. The
species of game included quail,
doves, ducks, snipe, wild geese.
Woodcock, turkeys, marsh hens, rab-
bits, squirrels and deer. AS to num-
bers taken by hunters, Commission
er Twitty's report lists more than
five million rabbits and $50 deer
among the game animals, while the
game birds range from 5000 wild
turkeys to nearly five million quail.
Game of all kinds totaled 1868. $50.
Naturally, a very large proportion of
the Georgia game was found on the
farms of the State, a situation
which holds good to even a larger
extent in various other common
wealths.
Another phase of the game situa- |
ton which, too often, is overlooked
is the value of good shooting in
drawing strangers to a locality |
with consequent spending of large
sums of money for hotel and other
resulting in in
creased volume of purchases of farm
products and otherwise putting con-
siderable money in local circulation,
4 thing from which the entire com
nunity benefits.
Some idea of the value of attract
ng tourists by means of scenic and
fishing and hunting inducements
nay be gained from consideration of
he fact that visitors to Minnesota

OLD THEORIES EXPLODED
FOR RED-HAIRED WOMEN

The old theories that red-haired
women should wear blue or gray
and never tones of reddish hue, are
exploded in Farm & Fireside by Ma
eel Rawson Cades, beauty expert.
Brown, beige and green increase
the effectiveness of red hair" she
says, while blues and grays detract
fifty per cent from it's attractive
ness.
Clever women with red hair are
careful to keep to the ensemble. idea
in their clothes. 1t is less expensive
to have all ones accessories in
browns and tans and much more eff
fective. Shoes, gloves, pocketbooks
and stockings, furs and even UNI
brellas and rubbers should be con-
sidered. A red-haired woman looks
much better, for instance, in beaver
than in squirrel or in red fox or
cross fox, which has red in it, than
in gray or black furs.
Amber, carnelian, turquoise, to-
paz and emeralds are becoming to
the red-haired girl. Gold is better
than silver or platinum"
The beauty expert advises her red
head readers to use but slight make
up and to have it perfectly matched.
Two rouges with faint coral tinge
are usually satisfactory Flesh or
natural powder is usually used by
them, but if the skin is ruddy or
tanned, slight pinkish brunette
shade sets off the hair to better
advantage.
The red-haired women are urged
further not to have their hair too
deliberately arranged or waved deep
y. 1t should be kept clean and |
crushed a great deal to bring out
he lights.

Selecting the Layers

To develop an egg-laying strain
requires careful selection of pullets
from among the best layers in the
flock. AS an aid in choosing the
heaviest layers this fall, notice the
color of the beaks and shanks. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture
says that in breeds whose beaks and
shanks are normally yellow, those
pullets which lay with the greatest
intensity after they begin, or at the
highest rate, will usually bleach out
the normal color of the beaks and
shanks more quickly than pullets
which lay only Internationally.
Therefore, if the farmer observes
his flock rather closely during the
fall months he can readily determine
those birds that are laying at the
heaviest rate and they can be mark
ed for inclusion in next years
breeding flock.
