The discussion of the economic val ues of birds Is one of the Questions of serious importance to the whole coun try. It has been pointed out by students of this subject thut a tree swallow's stomach recently examined contained 40 chlnchbugs and fragments of manv others, besides ten other species of in sects. The stomach of a bank swallow showed that It contained C8 cotton boll weevils, one of the very dancerous and destructive insect pests of the United States. Thirty-five cliff swallows hnil eaten an average of 18 boll weevils each. Two stomachs of pine siskins from California contained 19 black olive scales and 300 plant lice. The stomach of a kildeer taken in Texas contained more than 300 larvae. A flicker's stomach held 28 big grubs. A night hawk's stomach contained 34 May beetles, the adult form of the white grub. A New York night hawk had eaten 24 clover-leaf weevils and 357 ants, and another night hawk, 340 grasshoppers. 52 bugs, three beetles, two wasps and a spider. A bis-tailed grackle taken in Texas had eatea in one meal about 100 cotton boll weevils, oesiues other Insects. A rinz-neck pheasant, a bird which the state of New York is taking great Interest in propagating, showed upon examination of the crop 'that it contained 8,000 seeds -of chickenweed and a dandelion head. More than 72,000 seeds have been found in a single duck's stomach taken the members of the MohammeUun mission to Mecca representing France at the official receptioa half and laid face down on the DltJin Louisiana. ..Trr...m-... ox rao,a was rorweu recently. on which they are to be served.

It has collected them iroin an parts of the United States and made an examination of 4,000 stomachs, the results showing that during the colder half of the year the food of these Lirds consists almost en tirely of seeds of weeds. It has been estimated by entomolo gists that the annual loss caused in the United States by insects is $700, 000,000 and that were it not for binls the loss would be much greater. Care ful students have said that without the aid of our feathered friends successful agriculture would be impossible. The ainouut of weed seed disposed of by birds, in their depleted numbers, is im pressive, and everybody knows that the problem of weed destruction is very important to agricultural inter ests.
