nearly 2,000,000 larvae to the brood during the 
nestling life. 
Excellent results were found by placing colony 
houses of young chickens in the infested alfalfa 
fields, and it was found that close about where 
these chickens were the alfalfa grew and flourish¬ 
ed, while in other portions of the field, where 
there were no chickes, the plant’s leaves had all 
been devoured, and only the dry stems remained. 
Toads and the leopard frog, which is found 
along the irrigating ditches in the alfalfa fields, 
were destructive to weevils, but also to many 
useful insects. These batrachians are enemies 
to insects at large. 
Mr. Kalmbach’s conclusions naturally are that 
birds are most efficient enemies of the alfalfa 
weevil. They are not the only checks on it. In 
some localities a fungus disease attacked and 
destroyed large numbers of the pupae. He is 
strenuous in his belief that the laws for the 
protection of birds in the State of Utah should 
be continued and enforced and no doubt this 
will be done. The paper is one of unusual in¬

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., September 6, 1914. 
Appended are scores made at the bi-monthly shoot 
of the Hudson Gun Club this morning, with eleven 
shooters taking part. High gun for the day was W. 
Raymond with 84 per cent; Dr. Pinkerton was the run¬ 
ner up with 78 per cent, and J. Williams with 68 per 
cent, was third high, the day was cool and pleasant, but 
a flukey wind made the targets dip and duck, which 
accounts for the poor scores that were made. 
On October 4th we will hold our annual corn fest, 
and also start the fall season trophy shoots, we would 
like all our members to help us start the season off 
right and look for a good attendance. Our next 
shooting date will be September 20th, and visitors 
who care to shoot targets can do so at the Hudson 
Gun Club grounds, where the best service can be ob¬ 
tained, and where they are always made to feel at home.
