CHINA PHEASANTS
HELP TO FARMERS
Game Warden F. L. Finley is plan
ning to increase the educational effi
ciency of his department, and has ar
ranged with John F. Bovard, profes
sor of biology at the state nniversirv
to give a lecture on "Common Ore
gon Birds. Tneir Habits and Enrmnm.
ic Value," in various school houses
throughout the state. This will be
iouowea by other lectures.
In speaking of this work. Mr. Fin
ley calls particular attention to the
general opinion regarding the China
pneasant. He says:
"Some of the farmers are complain
ing because they think the birds eat
so mucn ot their crops. We are go
ing to make investieationa tn ascpr.
tain whether the economic value of
these birds is ereater than their
bother as nuisances. When the open
season arrives next fall. w a-rnoct tn
examine the stomachs of hundreds of
birds and find out what they have
been eating.
"The stomach of a single China
pheasant, which was killed and we
examined, contained 300 cut worms
and 100 fly larvae. One bobwhite had
over 100 potato bugs in its crop. It
is not unusual for a young bird to
eat its own weight in insects in
days' time.
Mr. Finley says there is no doubt
mat mere are more China pheasants
in the Willamette valley now than
there ever was before, and if this
season is favorable, hv fall the vnilov
will be overrun with them. But he
estimates that a short time after the
season opens on them they will be
thinned to a reasonable number.

INTEREST.
To succeed in anything it is neces
sary that you be interested in that
thing.
The lackadaisical, indifferent attitude
gets nowhere.
If your work is raising potatoes you
must be interested in raising potatoes. !
This means t'i:it yon will Dud out ev
erything possible about the subject;
that it will be your especial pride to
have the bi.-rest and best crop iu the
neighborhood.
If it is selling calico it means that
you must h;ive your heart iu selling
calico. th:it you will know all about
weaves, material and the rest and also
that you v.-Hi know all alxut the sell
ing game.
A man to win iu any task must put
his whole self in that task. Interest is
the thing that will put him there.
Moreover, the interest must be more
than self interest. Unintelligent self
interest may be a positive handicap.
It may make a mail feel that he is too
good for his job, and that is his finish.
He must be interested in his work and
in his concern.
If one's business is making shoe but
tons his mental attitude must be that
making shoe buttons is the most im
portant thing in th world. And it is
for hiui. '
If he is writing a story that particu
lar tale must be the best Viiug of its
kind ever told, if he would make
others weep he must weep. If he
would gL't a laugh he must give a
laugh. If the story does not grip him
it surely will not grip others.
Get on the job every atom ana
thought nnd desire of you get on the
job!
That may not have an elegant sound,
but life is something more than a
drawing room.
Life is n race, a wrestling match, "a
battle. Tli.it phase is not all of life,
but is an all important part of it.
The man who wins the race is the
one interested in running, who puts
every ounce of himself into the effort
to go under the wire first.
The man who is really interested
will master every detail, find new and
better ways of doing things and con
stantly improve his product.
His work will be hi3 treasure, and
"where your treasure is there will your
heart be also."
