For Insects Injurious To Stored
Grain And Seed.
Many questions are asked of State
Zoologist, H. A. Surface, Harrisburg,
concerning the treatment of insects
injurious to stored grains. and seeds.
As his practical experience in treating
such pests has been considerable, Pro-
fessor Surface has prepared a general
circular of directions, which is as fol-
lows:
The treatment for insects in stored
grain and seeds depends to a great
extent upon the qnantity to be treated
and the purpose to which it is put
afterward. In many seeds, such as
peas, beans, ete.,the customary treat-
such as
weevils, by baking them or heating
them to a temperature that destroys

Protect The Birds.
As the industries of mankind in-
crease the natiye haunts of the birds
decrease more and more, and espec-
ially are their natural food plants re-
moved. Thus the native birds, which
are among the most beneficial species
from an economical standpoint, are
pushed farther and farther away from
the regions of populuous settlement.
One scai cly realizes the great im-
portance of bird life until he becomes
a practical farmer, fruit grower and
trucker, and sees for himself bow con-
siderable is the number of foes that
destrey his crop.
Mice and rabbits are ever ready to
girdle the trees both winter and sum-
mer,insects are ready to destroy one’s
plants by attacking them at the roots,
the stems, the tops, or the seeds. Be-
cause of the partial decrease in bird
life the effects of the enemies of birds
in reducing their numbers are becom-
ing more and more preceptible. The
loss from destructive insects in Penn-
sylvania alone can be safely estimated
at from thirty to sixty million dollars
ennually. This estimate is given by
Professor H. A. Surface, State Zoolo-
gist, Harrisburg, who has based his
estimate upon reports received from
the entomological inspectors who have
seen conditions directly as they exist.
If the enemies of insects confinue to
decrease, it is certain that the pests
themselves will increase. and the loss
from them will not be proportinately
great. It is time now if ever to at-
tempt to check this increasing and
alarming destructiveness by pests,
which adds so much to the high cost
of production, and consepuently to
the high cost of living now agitated
the public.
Two species of imported birds are
increasing in this country. One is the
English Sparrow, which is known
very well, end is a nusiance of the
worst kind, because of its destrurtive
ness to garden and farm crops, and to
fruits, also its propensity to destroy
the nests und eggs of other birds
wheneyer ossible. The other is the
English & iurtling, which is in some re-
gards res -:ubles the Blackbird, but in
habits and methods of living there is
not a great deal of difference between
the Startiing and the English Sparrow.
Its introduction can be viewed with
alarm from the agriculturist. It is in-
creasing along the eastern shore of the
United States, and should be destroy-
ed. With these exceptions all other
birds have their place in nature, and
should ‘be preserved.
Recent legislation has placed the
Dove on the permanently protected
list. It can nolonger be killed as a
game bird at any time of year. The
Shrike or Bluebird is also a beneficial
bird, feeding on the English Sparrow,
Mice, Grasshoppers, Locustgand other
small mammals and reptiles.
It also has recently been placed on
the permanently protected list in
Pennsylvania. As a matter of fact it
is not safe to shoot any kind of wild
bird in this state without being in
danger of killing a species that is pro-
tected, and for the killing of which
there is a penalty. Several species of
hawks and owls are permanently pro-
tected by law, as they should be on
account of their great value in destroy-
ing mice, which are increasingly injur-
ious in girdling fruit trees. The lar-
gest orchardist in Pennsylvania has
but recently written to Professor Sur-
face asking what to do for nearly two
hundred apple trées of’ bearing age
which had been girdled by the mice.
Recent legislation in this state also
protects the skunk excepting during
‘the months of November and Decem-
ber, when it can be trapped, but it is
illegal at all times to dig it out. This
is because of its valve as an insect
feeder.
The sale of Aigrette tips will become
illegal after this fall, and it is to be
hoped that it will be unpopular to
wear those emblems of murdered
mother birds upon the heads of per-
sons who by such tokens indicate that
they are either cruel or ignorant as to
where such tropyies were obtained.
In protecting the birds not only
should nesting boxes be erected for
such as bluebirds, wrens, martins.fly-
catchers and others, but certain plants,
shrubs, vines and trees can be planted
to furnish them food at various times
of the year, in accordance with the
directions published in the monthly
bulletins of the Division of Zoology
at Harrisburg, Pa.
