Show Scarecrows Passing Out Scarecrows, which at one time could be seen on almost every farm along the roadside in England, and on many agricultural places in the United States, are rapidly passing out of use. Also, it is the rarest of sights to find a live "scarecrow" usually in theshape of a boy, hired to sit on the fence of a newly planted field, and make queer noises to keep crows away. The reason rea-son is that English farmers evidently do not any longer consider the crow an unmitigated enemy or foe of crops, but rather hold it a friend. |
