TI'lTsilAY, Aliil'ST 1,
Universities throughout the coun
try have awakciipd to the present day
need of u do1 per application on the
jmrt of our colleKo men to the Htudy
of aRrlriiltiire in all Its vnrioufi
brn riches. Not di-tiiutliiK from the
advantages of the many profession
that are eneonraKd In most ednca-
tlniial liiKtitiitioiint milll.e l( Is to Hay
that there are, each year, Kiadnaled
from Institutes of learning more law-
yea ra, doctors, dentists, teachers and
preachers limn are reqnled, while the
country stands in absolute need of
attention by minds and men sclentif
ically trained In all of the varied
branches of agriculture. There is
need of a course In agriculture that
will be complete, and offer a term of
study fitting the student to play an
Important part In the general devel
opment of the nation. Wtth the ad
vance of irrigation, dry-farming
methods, scientific plant breeding,
intensive farming, m-ed selection, soil
physics and fertility, the various
branches of animal husbandry and
modern methnds of water and rain
fall conservation, the need of scien
tific training Is becoming more neces
nary. In this age of competition the
combination of Helen. e with practical
exerlnece will help in a large im-as-n
re to overcome lh problems of
crop uncertainty, which yearly occa
slons chaos and loss to the nation.
If, in the general economy of Na
ture, provision luid been uiado foi
but one bird, several writers have
expressed themselves as of the opin
ion that that bird would have been
the Mohwlille. The sweetness of Its
talk, the gentleness of Its disposition
and the wonderrnl value to the farm
er, the timberman and horticultur
ist of this specleH of bird-lifo war
rant such an expression. The alarm
that has been recently sounded, thai
the gypsy moth and the brown tail
moth are swooping down upon us.
forcibly directs our attention to the
bobwhlte as an Instrument of pro
tectiou against such a dire calamity.
The bobwhlte, consequently, Is among
our protected birds. When one real
izes that the annual loss sustained in
this country by weeds and Insects is
In excess to $800, 000.000, and that
the natural diet of the bobwhlte is
weed-seed and Insects, ho will appre
ciate (lie enormous saving this bird
would bo to the country at large,
were It protected and propagated with
care. A scientific Investigation oi
the food of tile bobwhlte reveals the
startling fact that nine birds con
sumed, among other things, In one
day, the following: l.llfin flies. ti.miO
aplilds, l.LVSil rose slugs, 117 grass
hoppers, ,4H) pigeon grass seedt, t'.r.
black crickets, 81 large and medium
sized grasshopHrs, 700 Insects, II On
of which wero grasshoppers, 1.5:12
Insects. 1 ,0(t(i of which wero grass
hoppers, and 48 grasshoppers. Tlx
bobwhlte is known to eat i;tf differ
ent Insects, most of w.iidi are of the
Injurious tyM 1'otato bugs, cu
cumber beetles, cut worms, aruiv
worms, chinch bugs and cotton boll
weevil are among them. A careful
estimate shows that this bird will
average 7 5.000 Insects and 5,000.000
weed seeds during a year. It Is now
tn contemplation by Htuto (lame W ar
den, V. K. Kiuley. to releao a large
number of these game birds and sup
ply bobwhlle eggs to fanners who will
agree to allow them to be hatched
by their hens and protect them while
young, finally permitting them to
wander at their leisure to all parts
of their farms. In this way. a ss
teni of out it nil propagation wilt be
devised that w til be of tremendous
benefit to all parts of the stale. Inas

a single seaimu. some conception Is
had of good work that might be ac
complished through this method. In
addition to the above menu of the
bobwhlte, there stands out the Impor
tant fact that In countries where (he
gypsy and brown tail moths have
swarmed, the bobwhlte is their worst
enemy. Mr. Finley's scheme to en
courage their -propagation! by a
strictly natural method, without in
volving any other expense than the
out of the eggs and the assurance
hat they will be properly hatched by
responsible parties, will be of Inter
est to every man, woman and child In
this Btate.
