H1LI-SBORO. Or.. Feb. 4 (To th Editor.) It la the part of any person who Is a lorer and student of nature to take exception to the misstatements concerning; the robin sent to The Ore- gronlan by a correspondent at isruwns villa. The benighted man has observed the robin eat a amall amount of fruit and at nnre Jumps to the conclusion that cultivated fruit is all the robin feeds on. 'except a few anicle worms which It teala from his chickens. It Is my wih. in addition to some of my own observations, to contribute, a few paraKraphs of authoritative data by orintholOKists of prominence, which will free the robin from such false eharg-ra as made by the Brownsville correspondent. The following: para graphs axe excerpts from "The Ameri can Thrushes. Valuable Bird Neigh bors." by F. E. L. Brals, of the United States Biolog-ical Survey, published In the Department of Agriculture year book for 1913. It concerns the robin as being; the most prominent of the thrush family: While all th thrushes like berries and fruit, they ara fonder of animal food. They ara especially partial to beetles, and these make up about ens-fifth of their animal diet. The newty-lmporterj alfalfa weevil, which haa committed ravagea In th West, hss already been selected by robins as a choice article of diet. Tha May beetle ta favorite Ihruah 1 ood J, la tha parent of the wel! known white grub, and la moat destructive ta grass. Practically all caterpillars ar harmful, and If it war not for Nature's check on their rapid multiplication, there would goon be no lrea In the Isnd, for their leaves would all b eaten by th caterpillars. Thrushes sra nearly unanimous In their fond ness for this soft. Juicy article of diet, and in quantities It makes up aOout one-tenth of their entire bill of (are. In general, the thrushes as a group do littl Injury to th fruit crop. These birds vistt vimpi and brush In preference to or chards and gardens when looking for fruit, and berries. In some place where cities are built up. tha thrush is compelled to go to orchards for Its vegetable diet, ag there ar no wild harries. Under ordinary conditions of country life wild fruits are so abundant that thrushes seldom trespars upon culti vated varieties. William, R. Lord In "Birds of Oreg-on and Washing-ton," says: Tha robin la a "common bird." -iut he Is Ilk children, not to b despised on that account. Tha farmsrs sometimes hate him and kill blm ss an enemy, being; unwilling to allow hire the comparatively small pay he asks for tha unmeasured good he does them in the quantities of harmful worms ha devours. A pair of robins sometimes tak more than 100 cutworms in the course of a day for themselves and their younc. In all of -my own experience I have never known a robin to feed on apples until forced to do bo by' lack .of other food, late in the Fall, when all desir able fruit has been long- picked. He shows no liking; whatever for sour fruits such aa blackberries, but occa sionally helps, himself to a few cher ries, strawberries and other aweet fruit, the value of which he earns many fold by his wholesale destruc tlon of noxious insects. The value of the thrushes has been well emphasized by the result in cer tain regions of California where the thruchrs were killed off as grame. in these places harmful insects multiplied so rapidly that small fruit raising was impossible without a continual fight with sprays, poisons and other means of extermination; all of which are un necessary here. From the economic aspect alone, not considering- his cheering" sonpr and beautiful appearance, we could ill af ford to be without th robin. A FRIEND OF NATURE.

INCOME TAX HITS FARMERS Expenses' Can't Bo Deducted if Crop Is Held Oyer for Year. PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 12. CP pe dal.) Some of th farmers In Uma tilla County who held their 1916 wheat crops until after January 1 for higher prices received a gentle shock yester day upon consulting with Thad Sweek, deputy Internal Revenue Collector, after making out return blanks for their Income tax.
