Practically every farm pest has
bird enemies.
For example,
one serious agricultural pest free
ly eaten by birds is the wheat aph
is, or green bug. On a 200-acre
farm in North Carolina, where
wheat, rye, and oats were severely
attacked by green bugs, it was
found that birds were very effect-

outbreak was at its height during

bugs at a rate of nearly a million

flocks of migrants were present
this destruction was increased cor

During the season
so many birds flocked to the grain
fields that the aphis infestation
was reduced by an incalculable
number.
Wheat Smut Costly
Losses from stinking smut (bunt)
of wheat in the United States as
represented by decreased yield have
been estimated at about 14,000,-
000 bushels annually, while dockage
for smutty grain probably totals
-10,000,000 each year. A consider
able loss also results from ex
plosions due to the fact that the
spores of stinking smut are ex
tremely combustible when beaten
up into a dust. In the state of
Washington many thousands of dol-
’ars have been lost in a single coun
ty in one season as a result of
these explosions.
Important measures in the con
trol of stinking smut are seed
treatment, development of resist
ant varieties and crop rotation.
Meat Inspection Brings Confidence
About two-thirds of all animals
slaughtered for food in the United
States are federally inspected, s
large proportion of meat establish
ments doing an inter-state business,
says the United States department
of agriculture. Federal inspection of
animals is made before and at the
time of slaughter.
An animal that looks sick or
abnormal in any other way is tag
ged with a metal label fastened to
the ear, reading either **U. S. Con
demned” or “U. S. Suspect,” do
pending on the ailment. If con
demned, the animals so tagged
must not be taken into the slaugh-
ter room. Animals of merely doubt
ful condition are kept apart and
slaughtered separately.
The present export trade in
American meats is possible largely
because the Federal inspection sys
tem enjoys the confidence of for
eign governments.

Only by utilizing the tremend
ous resources of General Motors
could Oakland produce such val
ue as the New and Finer Pontiac
Six at its new low prices.
Its distinction is emphasized by
narrowed body pillars; by longer,
lower contours; by heavier, more
sweeping crown fender-.: and by
a deeper, more modish radiator.
Its smartness is accented by
fresh and original combinations
of Daco colors.
And its mechanical excellence
is increased by the addition of
such unexpected features as foot-
controlled tilting-beam head
lights, and an even smoother
more powerful clutch.

White pine, aspen, basswood, cot

others of that class are suitable
for crates for shipping livestock.
You can use the harder woods,
but they are harder to nail, and
they’re heavier. Material for crate
building is usually an inch thick
by four inches wide. Lay the floor
cross-wise on 2-by-2-inch skids, ex
cept for grown cattle. They’ll take
2 by 4 skids. For the average size
sheep the crate should be 4 feet
long, 1 foot 9 inches wide, and
2 feet 10 inches high, inside di-
mensions. Such a crate will weigh
about 75 pounds. For hogs from
125 to 225 pounds have a crate
4 feet 4 inches long, a foot and
a half wide, and 2 feet 9 inches
high, It would weigh about 80
