WEDNESDAY, XMUV, ?, ivbt, BIRDS KILL MANY INSECTS Mobilization of the wild birds, an army of the air that allies itself with man to fight crop pests, nearly always follows the presence of large numbers of insects that prey upon growing plants. Their aid instamping out the menace is almostincalculable Dc?i?l Snrvdv. United says Liit; uiuiugivnt ~j j States Department of Agriculture, in Yearbook Separate, "Farm Help / From the Birds." Some illustrations! of what the birds have done are cited by the department, as follows: On one Utah farm infested by the: alfalfa weevil, English sparrows alone J in one season fed to their young, it is estimated, 500,000 of the pests, makingthe m about onethird of the diet of the growing birds. Sixty-six kinds of birds feed on the cottonboll weevil, the greatest feathered enemy of this pest being the orchid oriole. A single stomach of this kind of bird contained, upon examination, 41 boll weevils. The green bug orl wheat aphis also?but let the depart-1 ment tell the story: "On a 200-acre farm in North Carolina, where wheat, rye and oatSi were severely attacked by green bugs 'it was found that the oiras were very effective in destroying the pests. The outbreak was at is height during the j migration season of such birds as the I goldfinch and the vesper and chipping sparrows, which with other species on the farm numbered more than 3,000 individuals. It was found that these birds were destroying green bugs at the rate of nearly 1,000,000 a day, andon days when additional flocks qf migrants were present this destruction was doubled. During the season such numbers of birds flocked to the grain fields that the aphis infestation was reduced by an incalculable number." i I coninn teoH in n -well nreoared I bed in rows 12 inches apart and thickly in a row.
