THE DANBURY REPORTER Sixty-Six Birds Destroy Insects Raleigh, Nov. 28.—Now that the hunting season is open, in terest is quickened in those ! birds that are of value to the North Carolina landowner.

The new bulletin, states Mr. ISrannon, gives reports on the food habits of 2.'? of the more important of the 460 species found in this section of the United States. It shows that i hawks do good by feeding on ' rodents and that crows destroy more insects .than they do corn. "We cannot over-estimate the benefit to agriculture as a result of the many noxious pests destroyed by our bird friends," says Mr. Uranium. "The great increase in inseii ! pests in recent years is due in !a large part to the dot ruction l of insect eating birds.
