MANY SNAKES DESERVE PROTECTION. 1 &8f6 1 Contrary to popular belief, most common snakes are neither obnox ious nor poisonous, says the Biologi cal Survey of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The prev alent (head of snakes is due largely to the fear of such venomous species ;.s the cotton-mouth, moccasin, the copperhead, the rattlesnake, the massasauga, and the colar snake. Al though these poisonous snakes have no place in a settled country, and efforts should be made to eradicate them, yet most common snakes are beneficial in their food habits and should bp protected. Wherever snakes are present in abnormally large numbers there must be an abundance of living ani mal food in the vicinity to attract them. This food consists largely of injurious rodents and insects, pests of garden crops and sstored food stuffs. Snakes eat such small living creatures as earthworms, spiders, grasshoppers, salamanders, small frogs, mice, rats, chipmunks and NEGRO BOY SENT TO SCHOOL FOR DELINQUENTS The first boy from Carteret coun ty to enter the Negro training school young rabbits King snakes are able to kill rattlesnakes, and have been known to eat them.

The black snake and coach-whip snake de stroy a certain number of ground nesting birds, particularly quail and eggs in the nest, and have been known to eat young chickens and ey en young pheasants. Local cam paigns for the destruction of these and poisonous snakes may be desir able in many districts, and clubbing and shooting are, so far as known the only successful methods of erad ication. No successful apparatus for snaring snakes has ever been de vised, and most species seem immune to poison gases. Court L. W. Hassell and Chief of Police W. R.
