No two persons ever agree as to how
much seed their birds eat.
One will declare, with an air Of wonder
a week.
Another will say, calmly enough, that
his birds eat fifty pounds.
The former will not believe the latter,
but his tale is true enough. He simply
keeps the feeding stations full all the
time. The other does not
There are two cheap ways Of feeding
the birds in the garden and at window
sills.
The first Of these is not to get the
songsters to expecting to find food every
time they come.
Teach them the habit of expecting
to find it once or maybe twice a day.
1t is amazing the difference in the
food bills, between keeping feeders con-
stantly stocked and filling them just
once or twice day.
The other cheap way is TO utilize scraps
from the home table. There are many
clean left-overs which may be utilized
for the birds. Canteloupe seed are a
favorite with some.
There is no bird food, however, which
quite equals sunflower seed
This is the basic food in all outdoor
feeding, and there are few seed eating
birds that do not love it.
If there is a patch of sunny ground
somewhere in the yard, stand Of SUM-
flowers may be grown there. Care must
be taken, however. to harvest the crop
before the birds do.
Then it may be doled out to them all
winter long.
If supply of sunf1ower seed is put
away, and mixed in with larger quanti-
ties Of the baby chick feed, so-called,
which may be bought at any feed store,
and at many hardware stores, the friend
of birds has cheap and good mixture.
The amount of food used will depend
also upon the number of squirrels,
pigeons and English sparrows which
visit the yard
Here again there is a difference Of
opinion. Some believe that these are
intruders, all, and that they frighten
away the rarer birds.
Others feel that when you put out
free lunch you have no moral right to
deny all hungry creatures just so long
as they happen to be hungry. 1t is a
mockery of conservation, they feel, to
say thou shall not" to any hungry
thing.
We do not feel that the members of
this trio will drive away the rarer birds.
1t is mostly matter of putting up sew
eral feeding stations, at various points
in the yard so that there will be room
enough for all
Summer feeding will not teach the
birds bad habits nor prevent them from
feeding naturally if they have to; 1t will,
however prove that the hot weather ap-
petites of the songsters are about on a
par with their cold weather appetites.

Shortage of Farm
Workers in POndera County

CONRAD, Mont, Feb. l7.-U.P-
Unemployment was at its lowest
level in Pondera county in many
years today, and the county faced
the possibility of shortage of farm
workers within the next few
months.
Wayne Fjosee, manager of the
Conrad office of the state re-em-
ployment service, said moderate
shortage would result if present
employment trends continued. Cur
rent lists of men eligible for work,
he said, were not sufficient to sat
isfy the ordinary demands of grow
ing and harvesting seasons.
Enistments in the nations armed
forces and an exodus to national
defense manufacturing centers were
said to have caused the reduction in
job-seekers in the county.
