HON. GERARD C. HROWN, Yorkana: 



Yes, in common with their cousin, the grackle. The most 

 damage they do is to the young corn as it comes up. 1 

 have had fields so raided that I had to replace the whole 

 cuncern. Crows are hard on birds' nests (eggs and young), 

 especially on the meadow lark and quail when their nests are 

 uncovered by our mowers and reapers. 



JAMES G. PATTERSON, Stewartstown: 



The crow is a .sreat thief; they will steal eggs of the do- 

 mestic fowl, and will catch young chicks and turkeys and 

 carry them off to their nesting places, not only when they 

 have young, but when hatchin.?.
