In the opinion of many ornithologists and entomologists. Credit for eating obnoxious Insects should also be given to a number of other vertebrates, especially to toads, lizards, shrews, moles, oats, and skunks, but because of the numbers of birds, and their appetite for Insects In all stages, their powers of swift locomotion, and their tendency to concentrate wherever unusual numbers of Insects appear, they are of chief economic Importance among Insectivorous vertebrates. Gull Destroy Crickets. A historical and mast, picturesque example of birds sitting a crop from Insect destruction was given by California gulls In pioneer days In Utah, when they swooped down on the Mormon crickets that were devouring the wheat of the early settlers. Since that time these birds have been held almost sacred In Utah, and a monument has been erected to commemorate their services. Ip an Investigation by the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture of 109 cases of satisfactory control and 88 cases of loenl suppression of Insects by birds, many Interesting food habits were brought to light. Contrary to popular belief, various birds eat even the hairy types of caterpillars, like those of the tussock, gipsy, and brown-tal- l moths, und the tent caterpillars. Sparrows are noted for feeding on ants, cabbage bugs, cicadas, green bugs, alfalfa weevils, army worms and caterpillars. Meadow larks eat grasshoppers and crickets. nuthatches have been observed to reduce greatly the numbers of pear and the codling moth. Ssylla like plant lice of several species. Woodpeckers are among the most effective enemies of bark beetles and wood borers of various kinds, as well as the European corn borer, and they also eat leopnrd and codling moths and many other woodlan pests. Crows, blackbirds and grnckles are fond of white grubs In quantities and will follow a plow to get them In the spring. Feed on Alfalfa Weevil. Forty-fiv- e species of birds were found to feed extensively on the alfalfa Weevil, while (Jfi attack the corton-bol- l weevil. Orioles will pick weevils out of the squares or flower buds of the cotton, while swallows feed on them when In flight and extending their range. Mallard ducks have been effectively used In ponds for mosquito control. Red-eye- d vireos seem to be attracted while cutworms by fall form a large part of the diet of starlings, ?rows and Jackdaws. Blackbirds help to keep down the numbers of the boll worm and many other pests. Sparrows and other birds have been observed to clean up Infestations of termites. According to the biological survey, birds may be looked upon as an everpresent force that automatically tends to cheek outbreaks of Insect pests. t force that should be kept at maximum efficiency by protective measures so that their services may be utilized whenever possible.

The bureau of dairy Industry has described a method of utilizing whey In conjunction with skim milk when both are available to make a product that contains more than 13 per cent milk sugar. In this way the feed value of whey may be utilized and the value of the product as a poultry feed considv erably Increased.
