It Pays to Grade Cotton Texas growers producing cotton o1 good staple and marketing it coopera tively received from 1 1-4 to 8 cent more a pound for their cotton that was received for other cotton grown ii the same community and sold by in dividual farmers, according to th Bureau of Markets, U.

Destructive Birds Investigated Now that the beneficial species< birds are fortified by ample protectis legislation, the importance becomi apparent of perfecting methods f< protecting crops against (damage 1 birds, says the Chief of the Burer of Biological Survey, United Stat. Department of Agriculture. A polic of bird conservation that will be serve the interests of the farmer, I says, involves not only a thorough a preciation of the value of benefici species but adequate attention to ti control of troublesome ones. Folloa ing out that line of endeavor, invesi gations have been made of a numb of species complained of as troubl some, and~ in some' ses special rn ings have been made under the n gratory bird treaty act to permit co trol measures. It has been dleterminedl that bot links, protected under the migrate bird treaty act, are as destructive ever to rice when opportunity offe and in order to control them an op season has been (declared on bobolin in Pennsylvania and the Atlan Coast States from New Jergy south- t Ward to and including Florida. Cer- a ain species of wild duck, also pro- p ected under the act, were found to be si estructive in the rice fields of Cali- t lornia, and a special order was issued tl permitting rice growers to kill them b yut of season. In the Arkansas rice d ields a special order had to be issued o permitting the shooting of ducks at q night. Meadow larks in South Caro- s1 ina were found to be inflicting severe v lamage to sprouting corn and oats. f, [n order to afford proper relief, says the chief of the Survey, permission kas been given farmers to drive the birds from the fields with shotguns, if necessary. Complaints were re ceived from Louisiana that night herons were a menace to the frogging industry, and it was suggested to the bureau that permission be granted to J shoot them. Investigation, however, showed that about 96 per cent of the food of night herons is crawfish; not a single frog was found in any of the stomachs examined. Other birds, not protected under the migratory bird treaty act, were also reported to be inflicting severe dam age in sonic instances. Red-winged blackbirds in Ohio were found to be very destructive of sweet corn and eve nof field corn. Poisoning methods I effective for small fields, were devised, but it is necessary to discover more economical measures for large fields. Complaints of depredations by eagles were investigated.
