It is time of the /ear that our beautiful birds are be ginning to look for a place to set up 'housekeeping. The Loulsburg Garden Club, The Perennial High School Gard eners and The Gay Gardeners Junior Garden Club Is asking all of you to put out boxes for our feather friends. Houses for birds are built to supplement the lack of good nesting sites in many areas, to bring birds closer to us for observation, study -and pleasure, and to encourage birds not xto nest in places that may be unsuitable for their welfare. There are many species of birds which will set-up house- i keeping in boxes and shelters provided for their use. The limiting factor in making a house suitable for a particu lar bird is the size of- the entrance hole. The North Carolina Wild life Resources* Commission give us these helpful suggest ions for building and erecting Mouses for Birds successful houses for birds follows: 1. Do not make the entrance hole to Urge. t. Do not place entrance hola_ near the bottom of the house, except for martin;. Generally, the entrance should be In the upper third or the front. 3. Dft not place houses too close together because birds preempt a territory and vig orously defend It from in truders. Spacing houses at least 30- feet apart is generally suitable. 4. Do not leave old nest In box as this reduces the chance of parasites, disease, and house wear. 5. Do not use tin cans he cause summer sun will heat the bird and cook them alive. 6. When erecting boxes on the trunk of atree, fasten them loosely well down below the branches and foliage and re member birds like sunlight. 7. Boxes may be suspended by wire from low branches and this discourages molest h5^ 55" Back To, 'op O Front *|? 6' 9* a 3VlQT.) ' Miiir WHITt vGlASS; This large 3 1/2 Qt.

A hole or two or slits under the roof on the sides will help change the air. 10. A house, to be thoroughly practical, should be built so ttvat it can readily be opened. A removable roof, hinged front or floor, or sliding floor will serve this purpose. 11. Use cat guards on trees, but better still get rid of your cats. Youngsville Mr-.
