Florence aud Darlington counties, according to the report have the largest number of weevils per acre and cotton in these counties is just large enough to begin the applications of sweetened poison, (^alhopn, Orangeburg and Jtotmberg counties are threatened almost as seriously as Darlington and Florence', while Aiken and Barnwell are not as badly infested yet, and cotton is smaller than in the other: counties mentioned. Every effort should be made to destroy these weevils, says Prof. H. W. Bar re, director of the Experiment Station, in commenting upon the field report, especially in fields where cotton is beginning to square.

Writer Describes Winter Visitors i j , r j HoWns are highly prized and in-' tereeting birds, though far from ai useful as the bluebird, meadow)*rk, moat aparrowa, the nighttiawk arid many others which might ba mention ' ed. They usually leave the neighborhood of Onatarka, Wisconsin, in November and return the second week in March. Sometimes, however, they return as early as the latter part of February or the first week in March. But not always do they leave in November, being governed somewhat in their choice of a winter home by the amount of food available and not entirely by the amount of snow and cold weather. There are large numbers of hackberry trees to be found in this vicinity, which often are loaded with Jerries rill winter long. Arid when the hackberry trees have or bear many berries, robins are likely t<o fsjtay in this region nil winter, living on berries of these , mainly. One year I saw robins every month in the year, usually in flocks, thanks to the hackberry tree. Though robjn,* either stay here all winter or return eajjy in March, they are in no hurry to begin nesting, hotfling off the building of the first nest until April or early May. About my home these birds start a half-dozen or more nests which they never use, for one reason or another. I am sure that the birds never use some of the nests because they find after building them that they do not like their locations. Some of them also no doubt are visited by the gray squirrels, of which there are many in the neighborhood, or are built in places where they cannot be anchored properly or are exposed to the full fury of the Svind and rain and aire destroyed. But by the latter part of April the wind is not so strong and the birds less fastidious and then they complete nests which they use. For several years now some of these birds have nested each season in the vines clinging to our west porch, often rearing two broods there. Sometimes now nests are built for the second brood, but sometimes one nest is made to do for both, the bird? building a new one if they have the time and inclination, otherwise only renovating and repairing the old. On three occasions these birds have built nests on robin shelves I have made and set out for them. One of these shelves is fastened to the burn and the other to the henhouse, the former having been used and the latter twice, and all three ventures proved successful. The lone venture on the shelf on the hen-house proved very interesting. The nest was built early in May two years ago, at a time when the weather was both dry and windy. The mother worked at it for five days without getting as much as n start. She carried load after loud of grass, weeds, tiny twigs, feathers, string and what not to the shelf, only to have them carried off again by the wind shortly after Rhff" had it in place. Sbe worked mainly during the morning hours, realizing no doubt that the materials were then damper than later in the day and hence better suited to her purpose. Nevertheless, the shelf was as empty the evening of the fifth day as it was the morning of the .r.rvv. I .finnl'y a wav of helping the bird, deciding to lean a plank against the shelf in such a way that the upper end projected an inch above the floor. On the morning of .May seventh, I noticed that the harrassed bird had a better start than usual, so tied the plank in place. The iplank served the purpose better lhan I thought it would, and the bird in no way objected to my interference, so the nest wag soon ready, even lined with soft grass. Four eggs were laid in it and as many young robins successfully reared. I find that our robin neighbors differ a great deal in disposition Some of them are timid, while others are confiding and brave. Some leave their nests whenever we get anywhere near them, so often that we sometimes are sure the eggs never will hatch, but they nearly always do. Others pay but little attention to us. remaining on their nests whether we come-> near them or not. One became s ) tame that I was able to touch her when she came to her nest with focd for the young. Our robins feed their young mainly on earthworms and insects, though later in the season they also feed them many berries. A pair that nested in our grape-vine one yea? tapered off the growth of their four youngsters with a generous amount of our strawberries. Not only did they carry berries to the young robins while they still were in the nest, but later they took them to the patch and taught them how to help themselves. Invariably, too, our robin neighbors keep their young in the neighborhood throughout the raspberry season. It is in their liking % / for b*rr\e? thai robin* differ most from their cousins, the bluebirds, living almost if not wholly on injects while with u?.r -Alvin M. Petersen in "Our Dumb Animals."
