f'lei.ntfon, July ' 27. A conHcrvtulve
estimate yf the insert injury to' held
crops in South Carolina iu placed,
hy W. C, Nettlo.H. Extension Entomologist,
at about $10,000,000 annually,
which he nays |? ten per cent of) the
farm value of all fiehl crops iu this
State,
"This duiOuKO hy I crop jfrsects
is a dHlnite destruction of wealth
jiiiO as truly as is a loas from /Ire'

unfortunately, all of this loss Is not
preventable, a worthwhile portion of
the loss may ho prevented.
"It is but natural to expect farmers
to show considerable Interest in Held
crop Insects and their injury, but the
numbcr...of fprrpci s who reCftffnty? tindifferent
insects and make special effort
to control them Is small Indeed."
To enable farmers to know injurious
insects und to suggest practical
methods of control. Mr. Nettles, has
prepared, and the Extension Service
has published Bulletin 96, "Important
Field Crop Insects." This publication.
which is now ready for free distribution
through the county farm
agents and the Publications Department
at Clemson, discusses insect
enemies of cotton, corn, and tobacco.
Among the cotton insects considered
are the boll weevil, the leaf worm,
the flea hopper, the leaf louse, the
red spider, the boll worm; corn insects,
the southern corn stalk borer,
the corn earworin, the budworm. the
hlllbugs. the chinch bugs, the wireworms.
and the lesser corn stalk bar-,

the cutworms, the budworm, the

The Quail Schemes
For Protection
(By Bennett B Hinith in Our Dumb
Animals)
Recently my dog and I h(roiled In
the Held a alonK a country foijce. Suddenly
the dog stopped, poised and
pointing, and coming tip I sotnt recognized
ids find uh a mother quail. J,
too, stopped to see what would take
place. A tiny object no bigger than
n)y thumb ran from under the mother
and scurried silently into the grass
and leaves, then another, and another
until many tiny objects had scurried
away. Then with a whir, the mother,
who had remained motionless until
then. Hailed away for some distance.
It was the same old story and the
Hume old way that the mother cjuail
has protected iter young foe perhaps
thousands of years. Hhe flew for only
a short distance because her wings
are short and made only for short
flights. Try as I might 1 could not
have found a trace of those little
youngsters for they were securely
hidden under the leaves and grass
that they so greatly resemble. But
the mother was nearby, on guard, and
when i had gone on and all danger
had passed, she would return and with
her mother call would summon the little
ones to her again.
Various means are used to attract
the attention of an intruder from the
young. Coming upon a mother and
her young one day, she ran rapidly
with one wing dragging as though
injured. I did not follow, for I knew
her sceme. I watched. The babies
scampered to safety in a split second
and then, when the mother thought all
were safe, she flew rapidly away. She
tempted me to follow her and thus
draw my attention from her young
When night comes a covey of quails
will arrange themselves In a circle
with tails toward the center and
heads out. This gives a pair of eyes
to look in all directions and at a
warning by any one bird, the whole
group "explodes" and dashes away,
spreading like a fan. The Inexperienced
person may be startled for
the moment and that Is the plan of
the bird, for during that short time
of surprise he has gone some distance
to safety.
Quails are found over all the country.
If you live in the south, you
know tliem as the partridge; if in
the middle states, they are the bobwhite,
while in the north and west,
they are quail. But bob white Is perhaps
the beBt for that is the name
he calls himself and few there are
who do not recognize the clear, snappy
call toward evening and during
moonlight nights. On the Pacific
coast the bird is a little different and
is a cousin to those east of the Rockies.
Ibis bird is darker, lays a speckled
egg instead of white, and has a
different call.
The bobwhite is quite valuable and
although he lives in the grain fields
and woods nearby, he does not eat
the grain before it Is harvested. He
is mighty enemy of weed seeds and
saves the farmer many hours of hoeing
and plowing because of the quantity
he eats. When the harvest Is
over he eats the grain that otherwise
would be wasted. Nor is his value
based only on his weed destruction
activities but he is an enthusiastic
insect eater and lucky Is he who has
a covey of quails take up their abode
near or In his garden.
Quails belong .to the scratchers. the
same as the common hen and turkey,
and are the smallest of this group.
They do not migrate but remain nearby
during the winter months.
The young need not have food carried
to them as do nearly all other
birds but go with the parents into the
fields almost as soon as they come
front the shell to learn to eat and
scratch for themselves. No other bird
becomes so independent in so short
a time.
