The sparrow heiwk is the smallest of our hawks. Its call, "a rather high, quickly re- peated kllly-killy-killy-killy" (Chap- man), and its habits of remaining poised in the air on hovering wings should easily distinguish it from the male sharp-shlnned hawk and the pigeon hawk, birds of about the same size.

LUDLOW JENKINS. MARSIIFIELD. The exact status of the marsh hawk in Virginia is not known, but with the above information in mind the practical game manager will give the bird tllc benefit. of the doubt until the facts are known. What do stomach analyses show? It has been over 40 ‘years since Dr. A. K. Fisher of the Biological Survey published the results of his monumental work on the f habits of hawks. Nearly 2,500 stomachs of the beneficial species were examined, and Dr. Fisher found that 65 per cent contained mice, 27 per cent contained insects and only 3.5 per cent contained poultry or game birds. Dr. Fisher concludes his report with these words: "Tile relentless persecution of, our birds of prey is not only un-i just. but is extremely prejudicial‘ to the interests of the farmer“ orchardist and sportsman. With‘ the exception Qt four species we, may say that apaclous birds are! among the most, if not the most} valuable. birds that wage war: against the foes of the itgriclll»! turist” i Other trained investigators not‘ content with Dr. Fisher's findings have examined thousands of hawks and owl stomachs taken from every section of the coun- try and in every month of the year. More than 5.000 stomachs agers, including Stoddard, Erring- moval of diseased or sick birds from a covey is beneficial; it would be considered so were we dealing with poultry. BOUNTY SYSTEM CONDEMNED Because of its inability to catch quail with any ease, it is not an uncommon‘ filing to flush a red- taiied or a red-shouldered hawk and find a covey of quail in the vicinity. While these hawks wait and watch and hope, the coopers hawk darts in. catches its quarry. and is seldom seen. Later, a hunter or farmer. upon finding a ipiie of quail feathers, swears ven- ‘zeniicc on the hawk ihzit hc saw llcrcllcd in thc ircc top, not ub- l~t‘l‘\'ill_'l that iliis particular hawk ‘fcii on |n.~:e and insect-s. and not ‘ion quail.

The marsh hawk probably kills more quail than any of the other beneficial hawks mentioned. Ai- though recent investigations have shown that he is not as bad as formerly pictured, in any case his score as compared with that of the coopers hawk is negligible. To offset tne damage clone to hunt- ing and agricultural interests, for every quail he eats, the marsh hawk kills hundreds of crop-des- troying grasshoppers, rats and , mice. Field rats and mice, in ad- dition to fhc damage done to crop, stored grains and growing trees, destroy quail were found in 1,098 pellets of the marsh hawk. while 9'35 of the pellets contain- ed remains of cotton rats. Stod- dard says that this hawk is prob- ably the best benefactor that quail has in the area under considera- _tlon_ (the Southeastern p States). the young turnip or cabbage short- ly after it comes up, eating pits in the leaves and often killing the plants. Ill addition to cabbage and turnips they are common on other cultivated and uncultivated plants of the mustard family and have even been reported from such unre ted plants as tomato and straw rry. Early sown plants are most subject to injury and late serious in the roots, eating off the smaller ones plantings usually escape injury. The grubs feed an: tunnelling the large ones. ll species of flea-beetles are resistant to poison and all are re- pelled by Bordeaux mixture. The potatoes i thorough spraying of with this mixture. as is ordinarly i done for blight, will usually pre- vent them from doing inuch daili- mage. On turnip and cabbage seedlings growing in the open care- ful dusting with a. dust contain- ing 15 per cent of arsenate of lead or equivalent poison. using slaked lime as n diluent has given good coiltrcl. The material is preferably applied in the morning when the ail" is still and the plants wet with dcw. Cabbage plants in thc seed bed arc sometimes effectively protected by the use of cheese cloth screens.

In a campai in Pennsyl- i iania to eliminate t e goshawk by i the payment of bounty, according ‘ to William Vogt, over 500 hawks were killed, out of which 68 were goshawks. In Virginia during the period 1924-29. a. statewide bounty was offered on the head of the gosliawk. Payments were made on 0.540 largc heads. supposedly thosc of the goslmwk, yet D. J. J. Mur- ray, the well-known ‘i. rgiiiia orni- fhologist, suit-cs liiat there is only one authentic record oi a gosllawk i:"'c<l in the state.

Investigation disclos- ed that not only the scalps of all kinds of hawks were being brought. in for bounty, but also the upper- bflls of chickens and the heads of such protected song and insectivor- ous birds as the mockingbird, the robin and the bullbat of" nlglitliawk. ‘_rophics from other states were brought info Virginia wholesale for thc bounty, in spite of the fact that a sworn statement. was re- quested, declaring that each scalp was of a certain species and was taken in Virginia. iTo be continued) __________.
