Mrs. John Lindsay; Mrs; Rob­ ert MacVean; Mil’s, Robert Blair; Mrs, Dave Bettye; Miiss Shirley Brandon and Mrs. Percy Renner Comprised the “Recog­ nition Day for Vlina Parker” committee. retirement,; reminding many (IjUCU R. wpoos) New Era, June 24, 1875: “Don’t Shoot the Birds If tjie fthmers wish to saw their grain from the ravages of bugs and other insepts, they had better unite to protect the birds; A man shot a prow not long since, and the prop of the, bird Was filled with bugs; and, the same WSUtt would bp found in nine out of ten of the birds tailed if an examination were made. Birds .are the best friends the farmer has in his grain fields, and jit will pay to encourage their propagation instead of slaughtering them off year after year.” “Crows and other Birds Crows, are not so black as they are painted. On 'the whole they do more good than harm. While they will damage some corn at this season, they are ' working for the farmer the rest, of the year. “To poison them is a great mistake, as Well as an un­ necessary cruelty, Keep thpm out of the fields of sprouting corn, 'by scare crows or any other devices, but their lives ■ should1 not be sacrificed by shot or poison. The same will apply to the majority of birds. Even owls and hawks dp some good, and there are methods of preventing them from doing misphlilef on the farm' without slaughtering them indiscrimin­ ately.” Browsing through an old newspaper, Lucy was attracted by the captions. Although it is too late in the season to erect scarecrows, she thought a plea for the birds might not run amiss. Perhaps, indeed, it is due to the crows that so many hills of corn only have one stalk instead of three or four. There was a family down the hill and they certainly made a noise out there early one morning. However, since the Purple Martins have been soaring around, the crows have either made themselves scarce or kept quiet. When Lucy was talking a,bout the above reprint to Carl, he said; “There isn’t a bird that doesn’t dp some good.” “I mind”, said Carl, “once Dad' put up tall poles and strung binder twine across a field of com, He intended to hang things' on the binder twine to frighten them; but before he got this done, we noticed that when t'he crows were flying over the field1, they rose to a greater height over the string. “It worked for a year or two but after that the sight of the binder twine strung. across the field became familiar to the wiley crow. He knew it was no trap.” And: to come back to present times, Mama and Papa Goldfinch, Which have been sipping at our bird bath for some time, launched forth to the birch tree with their brood. Great was their song of ecstasy with the young fry joining‘in the chorus, on Monday. Recently, too, Lucy identified a Prothonotary Warbler, also taking a drink at the bird bath at “The Hut”. “Why does it have such a name?” asked1 “Mr.” So he had recourse to the dictionary : It comes from' the. Greek photos first and the Latin notarius, a scribe, — “a notary”; “in the Roman Cath­ olic Church a sort of registrar.” v Elsewhere, Lucy discovered1 that they were so named be­ cause their golden crowns seemed to resemble the yellow ' hoods worn by prothonotaries. or clerical officials’ in the early times. c hl V, ADDITIONAL BAYFIELD NEWS ON PAGE 11 MR.
