Green Poison
Kills Rodents
But No Birds
BY ROBERT GEIGER
APP NewsfAatureS Writer


WASHINGTON - Birds detest
green-colored foods and don't like
food dyed yellow. Although scien-
fists do not understand these rea-
actions completely, they are using
them to save birds in the battle
against crop pests.
Poison bait,, that is used to kill
rodents, is being dyed so birds won't
touch it.
Some farmers plant co1ored seeds
where the bird population is heavy.
This keeps the birds from eating
the seed and reducing the crop.
Experts of the Fish and Wildlife
Service say color of food apparent
ly makes no difference to rodents.
E. r. Kalmbach, senior biologist
in charge of the Wildlife Research
Laboratories at Denver, has con-
Quoted experiments with color in
the rodent control program which
have been so decisive that the Fish
and WiIdlife Service now colors all
grain bats used in their work.
Kalmbach set out small piles oi
nncolored and colored grains. Nol
a single dead bird was found that
had eaten green-colored grain and
only few touched any grain dyed
yellow. But many have been killed
when the grain was uncolored.
. Observers in South Dakota
California and New Mexico have re-
ported similar experiences.
Entirely in the realm of specu-
lation, some scientists say the ex-
PLANTATION of the color-senstivity OF
birds may be than in many species
the male bird is garbed in gaudy
colors- The cardinal and the pea
cock are examples. This color in
males is intensified in some in
stances during the mating season.
1t seems to indicate that naturs
intended for the female bird, al
least, to be color conscious.

In sad and loving memory of JOS
ephine G.. Jump. who entered into rest
one year ago. June %. 1916:
Today brings sad memories
OF the day you went to rest
But you'll always be remembered
BY the ones who loved you best
IT'S lonesome here without you
And sad the weary way
For lite is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
The blow was sudden, the shock Sc
we're
We little thought the end so near
And only those who've lost can tel
The pain of parting without farewell
More and more each day we miss you
Friends may think the wound is
healed
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within our hearts conceal
ed.
Dearly loved and sadly missed bX

Family More Than
Doubled In 5 Years

Family income in Mcdowell coun-

the average in 1910.
] Figures recently made PUBLIC by
the State Planning Board show that
in 1910 the average family in this
county received $911, compared
with $2,045 in 1945. This is an in
crease of 124.5 per cent. In COM
parison, income for the average
family in North Carolina increased
only 110.1 per cent during the same
period. Thus average family income
in this county increased "a per cent
more than that of the average fam
lily in the state.
On the other hand, purchases by
the average family in this county
amounted to only two-thirds that of
the average family in the state
In 1945, the latest year for which
figures are available, total retail
purchases by the average Mcdowell
family were listed at $1,118.12, as
compared with $1,483.76 for the
average North Carolina family.
