These birds literally covered the ground -infested area and fell over each other in their rush to eat up the worms. Very Destructive The Licko brothers have farmed in the Thedford area for a num- ber of years and have never seen anything like the 'destructive worms in this area, they Said. When crossing one road the worms covered it thoroughly for some 20 feet. The brothers report that another field of barley was being attacked and the centre eaten out of it just as the starlings and cow- birds" moved. in. Speculation Is that the birds have now travelled to other areas under attack and are still eating worms. o' ONTARIO STREET GIRLS ANNUAL PICNIC The Ontario Street . United.
