AMERICAN FORESTRY 



BIRDS ASSIST IN WAR ON INSECT 

 PESTS 



SPECIAL investigations to find out how 

 far the various bird species aid man- 

 kind in his perpetual war on insect enemies 

 are being carried on by the Bureau of Bio- 

 logical Survey, United States Department 

 of Agriculture. In the western States the 

 grasshopper is particularly troublesome, so 

 far as the farmer and the ranch owner are 

 concerned. Specialists fotmd that of 27 

 species of birds examined 25 were grass- 

 hopper eaters. In 19 of the species all of 

 the individuals collected had given grass- 

 hoppers place on their menu. The birds 

 having the best records were the lark 

 sparrows, meadowlarks, Franklin gulls, 

 Arkansas kingbird, crow blackbird, and the 

 common kingbird. 



Probably there are not enough birds in 

 the country to clean up a full-strength in- 

 vasion of grasshoppers such as the west- 

 ern farmers have come to dread, it is said, 

 but the birds assist materially in the ef- 

 forts made by man to control the pest. 



Specialists say that poisoning campaigns 

 are among the best weapons used against 

 the grasshopper. From time to time re- 

 ports are sent in, saying that many birds 

 have fallen victim to the poisoned mix- 

 tures placed for the insects. Such charges 

 were associated with the gypsy moth spray- 

 ing campaign in New England and with 

 the laying of poisoned mashes for cut- 

 worms and other insects. Careful obser- 

 vation, made by experts, shows that the 

 bird losses from such causes are insig- 

 nificant. Some birds, it is said, are not 

 harmed at all by the presence of poison 

 placed for insects or vermin ; the quail 

 in California were not harmed by the baits 

 that were set out to kill ground squirrels 

 though the campaign was a general one 

 and was conducted with much intensity. 

 In the Dakotas a few birds succumbed to 

 the arsenic mashes placed for grasshoppers, 

 but the number killed was so slight as to 

 be of no consequence, it is said. 



HOW SQUIRRELS PLANT WALNUT 



The fence-rail forester seems to have 

 the needs of the black walnut in his mind 

 when he goes about his work. As a sap- 

 ling this species cannot endure much 

 shade; if it is to survive it must be planted 

 in rich soil, where the sunlight will fall 

 upon it. The squirrel has set out whole 

 groves by burying the nuts in the open 

 areas at the forest edges, and also many 

 single trees by planting in the fence 

 corners. Why he buries the nuts is evi- 

 dent enough, but why he leaves some of 

 them to sprout and grow is not so clear. 

 It may be that an unusually severe win- 

 teror a hunter or an owl or something 

 else kills the little banker before he 

 has time to draw out his savings. An 

 early spring may make him independent 

 of his storage plant.
