Utah and Washington are the two states of the Union whose national guard officers have stood the rigid army requirements for efficiency. Neither of these states since the outbreak of the war has lost a single officer out- of the national service on the score of Inefficiency, which is the highest test that could be applied to the former national guard organizations.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Birds appeal strongly to the interests and affections of mankind. Not only do they charm by their graceful forms, harmonious colors, sprightly actions, and usually pleasing notes, but they have an even more important claim upon our esteem because of their great economic value. Birds feed upon practically all insect pests. Theyare voracious, able to move freely from place to place, and exert a steady influence in keeping down the swelling tide of insect life. For economic as well as for esthetic reasons, therefore, an effort should be Importations From Europe Curtailed by War Farmers Must Now Produce at Home. by the United' States (Prepared ment of Agriculture.)

Where prop' er measures of this, kind have been taken an increase k several fold in the Wrd population pas resulted, with decreased losses from depredations of ' injurious insects. The means of Increasing the number of birds about the home are few and simple. They comprise adequate protection and the provision of statable nesting places, food and water. Protection is the prime requisite for increasing the number of birds In any area, and the results of protection are in direct proportion to its thoroughness. Besides being insured against every form of persecution by humankind, birds must be defended from various natural foes. The most effectual single step. is to surround the proposed bird sanctuary with a vermin-proo- f fence. Such a fence should prevent entrance either by digging or by climbing, but will serve Its greatest use if it cannot be climbed and is therefore If It is impracticable to uild an impenetrable fence, the next device is to put guards of sheet metal on all nesting trees and on poles supporting bird houses. This should be done in any case where squirrels or snakes are likely to intrude, as it is usually impossible to fence out these Sanimnls. Tree guards should be 6 feet or more above ground. Attacks by hawks, owls, crows, Jays, or other enemies are best controlled by eliminating the destructive individuals. Breeding Places. Although a considerable number of our native birds build their nests on the ground, the majority place them in trees or shrubs, either in holes or on the limbs or in the crotches.

It discusses at length the various American farm crops, from a viewpoint of seed supply. American farmers plant upwards of 7,000,000 tons of seed per year, most of this being the great staples, wheat, corn, cotton, etc., "and practically all of these seed supplies are produced at home. Nevertheless we were accustomed before the war to Import large quantities of seeds from Europe. For some vegetables, sugar beets, and other crops, we depended almost entirely upon the European seed supply. Seed Importations from Europe were curtailed or entirely cut off by the war.

Styles of bird houses may be varied These structures almost endlessly. may be Improvised by anyone, but they may be purchased also from numerous dealers. The most common errors In putting out bird houses are choosing poor locations and supplying too many boxes. A bird house needs only partial shade, and houses on poles usually are taken. Martins prefer a house standing apart from trees. Birds Seek Privacy. As a rule birds do not like being crowded, and if a place is studded with bird houses only a few of them will be occupied. Birds not only do not want bird neighbors too near, but are impatient of human meddling, and therefore should have as much privacy as possible during the actual incubating and brooding. Nests built in shrubbery are especially liable to come to a bad end If the birds are disturbed frequently.
