Farmers who have been doing their

will feel pretty cheap when they learn
that the swift-winged little fellow Is one
of their best friends. It Is his misfor

But the entomologists have discovered
that this bug,, In spite of his resem
blance to the one that- "gets there just
the same," is of a different breed and
wouldn't stay In a bed even If put there.
Nests are Its specialty. So let the barn
swallow live and pursue Its Insect pests
