 ACT I. THE COURTSHIP: "YOUR PROPOSITION SOUNDS GOOD!" 



Crackles are familiar sights on all Golf Courses, walking about in their 

 search for grasshoppers and other insects, but not disdaining a crust of bread. 

 They are sometimes a nuisance to farmers, and their roosts in city shade-trees 

 are sometimes objectionable, but on the Golf Courses they do much good and 

 little harm.

 HOME LIFE: "THIS SURE HAS BEEN A LESSON TO ME!" 



Here the Crackle is feeding its young. The amount of food required by 

 young birds is astonishing. They ordinarily require the equivalent of their own 

 weight in food each day merely to exist. Since they sometimes consume twice 

 their own weight of food, it is no wonder the mother Crackle looks worried.
