WELCOME THE THRUSHES
Washington, D. C. — That thrushes
—the group of birds in which are
included robins and bluebirds—do a
great deal of good and very little
harm to agriculture, is the conclu
sion reached by investigators of the
United States Department of Agri
culture who have carefully studied
the food habits of these birds. Al
together, there arc within the limits
of the United States 11 species of
thrushes, five of which are common
ly known as robins and bluebirds.
The other six include the Townsend
solitaire, the wood, tho veery, the
gray-cheek, the olive-back, and the
hermit thrushes.
. The robins and bluebirds nest
close to houses, and even the shyest
of the other species are content with
the seclusion of an acre or two of
woodland or swamp. For this rea
son the thrushes are among the best
known and most carefully protected
cf native American birds, and at
times their numbers become so great
that it is feared they will do much
harm to crops and fruit. The recent
investigations of the Department of
Agriculture, however, show that
there is very little ground for this
fear. On the other hand, they de
stroy such a vast number of insects
each year that it is probable that
without them many crops would suf
fer serious damage.
• Of all the thrushes, the robin is
probably tho best known. It has
been frequently accused of destroy
ing fruits and berries, but it has now
been ascertained that this only oc
curs in regions that are so thickly
settled that there is no wild fruit
upon which the robin may subsist.
la some years the bird is a great pest
in the olive orchards of California,
but it is probable that they are
driven to the orchards because of the
scarcity of native berries at these
times. Whore wild fruit is avail
able, the birds seem to prefer this
to the cultivated varieties.
Like the robin, the bluebird is
very domestic, but unlike the robin,
it does not prey upon any cultivated
product or work any injury whatso
ever to the fruit grower. During the
fruit season, in fact, five-sixths of
its food consists of insects. It seems,
therefore, that the common practh
of encouraging the bluebird to nest
near houses by placing convenient
boxes In which it may build its home
is thoroughly justified.
A detailed description of the hab
its of the robins and bluebirds is con
tained in Bulletin No. 171 of th«
United States Department of Agri
culture. Bulletin No. 280, which
has just been published, takes up the
habits of the six other species of the
thrush group, which are not quite so
well known. These birds also feed
Principally on insects and fruit, but
a great portion of the fruit which
they consume is wild berries. Do
mestic fruits are eaten so sparingly
by these species that the damage
done Is quite negligible.
* The bird known as the Townsend
solita.re is noted chiefly for its Bong,
which is said to be at times the finest
Sof any of, the thrush family. This
§ thrush, however, confines itself al
most entirely to the mountains and
gorges of the far west. The wood
thrush, on the other hand, is dis
tributed over the eastern part of the
United States, and is a frequenter of
. open groves and bushy pastures.
This thrush also is noted for Its
sweet Bong,' especially in the early
evening. It does not nest in gardens
or orchards, however, and 'is seldom
seen about farm buildings, so that
many, people who are familiar with
• its song would not know the bird by
sight. The wood thrush consumes a
number of very harmful insects such
as the Colorado potato beetle and'
white grubs. The fruit which it eats j
It usually picks up from the ground
Instead of taking fresh from the
tree. There is therefore no reason
why the wood thrush should not be
rigidly protected.
. The food of the other varieties
also seems to consist of little that it j
injures anyone to have the birds eat, i
while on the other hand they destroy i
multitudes of harmful insects each
year.
NEW BULLETINS * I
I
"Butter Making on the Farm" is I
the title of a bulletin just issued by
the Extension Department of the
State College, it is written by Prof. I
.1. X. Price, extension specialist In
Dairying, and may be secured by a.l
dressing. Extension Dept.. Stat:. Col
lege.
"Time and Method of Tillage on
the Yield and Comparative cost of
Production of Wheat in tli3 Palouse
Region" is the title of Bulletin No.
12.!. issued by the Experiment Sta
tion. This bulletin is comprehensive
and should be In the hands of every
farmer in Eastern Washington, It is
written by Professors C. C. Thorn
and 11. F. Holts, soil physicists, and
may be obtained by addressing Ex
periment Station, State College.
A frequent cause of fall colds in
the pullet flock is the crowding of
the pullets on the roosts or under
them at night, states Helen Dow
Whitaker, head of the Poultry Hus
bandry Div. of the State College.
Even where there is plenty of roost
ing room provided, it often happens.
as the first chilly fall nights come
on, that the young pullets huddle to
gether in the corner to get warm.
The result is that they become over
heated in the mass, and if one were
to put his hand for five minutes
among them at midnight, he would
find it covered with moisture.
Pullets will not spread out very
much after they are once settled for
the night. If crowded they are weak
ened instead of refreshed by their
sleep and they get down from the
roosts overheated and damp, into the
chill of the gray dawn, the cause of
the cold is not far to seek. The rem
edy is to provide plenty of roost
room, then go among the birds at
night and scatter them upon the
roosts until the habit of huddling is
broken up.
TWO MORE COW TESTING
ASSOCIATIONS ORGANIZED
The Enumclaw Co-operative Cow
Testing Association was organized
September 24, by A. J. Lashbrook
and W. E. Meyer, dairy field agents.
The association starts with 35 mem
bers and 510 cows registered.
Messrs. Lashbrook and Meyer, co
operating with Mr. O. .V. Patton,
county agriculturist of Walla Walla
county, organized the Walla Walla
Valley Cow Testing association Sep
tember 29. This association has a
membership of 35, partly in Wash
ington and partly near Freewater,
Ore. Five hundred and four cows
were registered and work will begin
as soon as a tester can be secured.
