MY OF FARMER Under Modern Conditions There Seems Little Reason for the Bird’s Con. tinued Existence. The record of the crow is like its coat—about as black as black can be- a writer in Detroit Free Press says. It may be that In the great plan of pature, some time In the past, the crow served a useful purpose—Ilike- wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take the buzzard, for example. Once pro- tected by human laws everywhere be- cause useful for removing carrion, the stench of which offended the nos- trils of all animal life, it is now out- lawed, because man realizes that it is better to burn or bury the dead—leaw ing no excuse for the existence of the disease-carrying buzzard. So, In the beginning, the mission of the crow, we may conjecture, was to preserve some equilibrium, some balance in the econ omy of nature. It may be he war placed here to hold in check the weed seed and grain eating birds, because weeds were a factor in the past in covering the waste places of the earth and making them fertile. However that may have been, there seems to be no excuse for his existence now since man, the agriculturist, seeds the waste places to useful grains and grasses and needs the help of the in- sectiverous birds.
