THE COMMON BLACK OBOW

(Maritime Farmer:

A year or so ago, s Maritime gen- tleman wanted every crow destroyed. preferably by shooting. Wnv b shooting L; hard that is about the to destroy a canny crow. The man was so enthusiastic about the scheme that he offered to put up a. sum of money and asked others to do irke- wise as pa.y for every crow ivered —»he did not say where. the crow seems to have an un- favourable reputation in the minds of many let u; take him t and see what makes him tick. e are all familiar ‘with the stories about his depredations in the poultry yard, the destruction of wild birds and their nests. and his attacks on “om and other grains. Percentages worked out show that 38 r cent by average over 12 mantis, show that 33 per cent of the principal food items is an adult crew's crop is corn, other 8W1!" 1'1 Der cent. How much com 15 grown in the Maritimes? Canada. Year Book gives for all Canada for yea; 1937 5.415.000 bushels. Ontario. in the same year, shows 5,415,000 bushels" the rest of Canada is not credile with growing corn. United States average corn crop is about

farm papers 001118 from the corn Could-ly. that is where the most of the J8 per cent in the crow's diet comes from andas well, most of ihe propaganda against the bird.

A study of the contenls of a crow’s crop reveals that pou.ti'y and eggs sic inflnitcsmai in the diet of nest- lings; 1n adults, zero. Apart from a ads and snakes (the latter are useful as they live on insects and mice are harmless and do not have agfoisonous Sting) and some benefic- i spiders, his main diet is insects injurious to farmers crops carrlon and vegetable matter.

Two thirds ofthe animal food is composed of insects. and most of them are the destructive kinds. Pri- mariiy. thc crow is a ground feeder of insects. He digs beneath the sur- face, turns over sticks, lump; of mud. and dung-ufhich. in warm weather. is teeming with maggots. whmh later "would become 1.10s. As a cutworm and white grub gatherer he has no equal. He is often seen with three or four of these in his mouth flying fp the nesting tree. As a field moussr he beats the family cat. What farm- er. coming out to a field of cut hay after diniisr has not seen the tom up. emptv mouse nests?

Much 11M been said and written

2,250,000——two and a. quarter bllli0n| bushels. . As most of our magazines and

o your: birds. This offense miti- ga. by the fact that it ha pens early in the season when insec are scarce. Usually the birds nests allow. raising a second brood at a time when here i5 little or no danger be- cause of prevalence of insects at l-hat time. The average tabby or family cat destroys more birds and their youn than ever the crow does. Do we No, not even when it jumps on the table and takes a broiled chicken leg. But, just let a. crow sail over a. poultry yard and the {£1018 family is out with a

gun e dog.

Undoubtedly, there is a. scarcity of crows in 1111850235315 with an increas- ing number o insects. L; it a fair assiunption to say that. were there o. sufficient number of crows in the Maritimcs (they are getting less and less) the recent infestation of army worm would not have caused very much damare? ‘Thousands oi army worm upa ave been destroyed on the C0 quid watershed in "37 and '38 by gulls in the absence of enough crows.

An over-abundancg o1 crows. pos- Isibly is not in the best interests of

the armcr. Extermination. 0n the other hand would result in taking awa the most effective enemy on .mos insect pests. and the best scav- enger we have in off 58850115 of in- sect food. The instituting of control measures is justifiable whore the birds are taking more than a, fair share of crops in return for good Iservlces rendered. such as in com |areas. but, in other sections where | crows occur in normal numbers they should be allowed to exist unmoiest- e

d.

One of‘ the common complaints in the Maritimes is pulling up table com, or peas. This can be avoxied

[about the crow destr ying g5 and

or field. on stakes. or poles. _whito cotton. a foot long and one inch wide hung on the string at intervals of 1b to ll‘ feet; this null keep all crows out. We have 1m vcd this many times. On large areas, stakes long enough to drive a. horse under for cultivation are used. Where an acije or more of such crop, CF05‘; the Strings are stretched. We have never known u crow to enter a
