Livestock Housing. The high cost and scarcity of building materials will preclude any rapid expansion in housing facilities for livestock or any material expansion in livestock equipment. Efficiency in the use of available buildings arid equipment is therefore im portant. Of even more importance will be the necessity to obtain the maxi mum production of each farm work er, as the supply is being reduced by the transfer of farm workers to industry and the army. The shortage of labor emphasizes again the urgency of increasing the efficiency of livestock production, as livestock and livestock products are so es sential for domestic consumption.

For the matter of that, you may hear it singing at night, for it is one of our very limited number of night singers. Farmers and gardeners sometimes berate this lovely bird because of dam age done to green peas, which it loves, and sometimes to fruits, as well, but the assure us that this mischief is much more than balanced by the bird's service in the destruction of insect pests. The bird is so fond of the destruc tive Colorado beetle that it is often called "the potato-bu- g i ti 13 bird." It also attacks cucumber beetles with great s??;Vt f ft rVMr-vigor, as well as many scale insects.

Farm help needed to produce milk and dairy products, eggs fend egg products, poultry meat products, and hogs and lard products are considered as engaged in the production of commodities of the greatest importance. Producers of soybeans, sugar beets, commercial vegetables, cattle and calves, and sheep and lambs are considered to be doing work of distinct importance. This information indicates, it is believed, that local draft boards have been given considerable latitude in making decisions regarding exemptions of farm help. It seems apparent that a man needed to produce foods listed as being of the greatest importance would be considered more eligible for deferment ' than a man producing foods designated of distinct importance. It also appears obvious that men engaged in producing anything in either of the two preceding lists can be given preferment over men producing wheat, cotton, potatoes, and many other crops. Wheat and potatoes are good foods but the problem of the nation right now is to create an army and at the same time to obtain materials most needed in the immediate future. Before exemptions can be granted for farm work or for any industrial or business defense service, the local board must be given proof that the man is actually engaged in the line of work for which exemptions are allowed.

In such storage places ornithologists have often found enough mice or other small prey to serve the bird for intervals of a week or more. The screech owl feeds upon small mammals, reptiles, batrachians, fish, spiders, crawfish, scorpions and earthworms. Among the insects, its favorite foods are grasshoppers, crickets, ground beetles and caterpillars, and it is known to destroy field mice and sparrows.
