The farmer does not drive them away, because he knows they are aiding him by devouring cutworms. wlrewornis, i white grubs. and other pests that I might later ravage his crop. Thus. iside by side, are presented two very different pictures: crows pro‘ tected because they are beneficial, and crows slain to save n few sralns oi seed corn. These con- trasted pictures well exemplify the absurdity of our trcament oi _natural allies- Dead crows cannot 65l- ClIlWOIIII-s.

of Ornithology and Mainmalogy)

the conclusion was: "In summing up the benefits and losses result-

ing from the food habits of this

bird, it is clchr that the good ex- , coeds the bad, and that the crow

is a friend rather than an enemy of

the farmer.” Twenty-three years

later. in 1918. we are informed

(Bul- 621. U. s. Dent. of Agricul-

ture) that, “The attitude oi the

individual farmer toward the crow

shou'd be one of toleration when

no serious losses are suffered,

antagonism, resulting in the un_

warranted destruction of these

birds which at times are most
