EE SH gi ee THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1929 WARBLERS BROUGHT BACK BY EARLY MAY WARMTH IN DAKOTA Bobolinks, Kingbirds and Gold- finches Reported as Ob- served at Some Points By 0. A. STEVENS N. D. Agricultural College May 10 is the upproximate date wher. various birds which are due to arrive the latter half of the month may appear almost any day. A warm wave such as occurred this year on May 13 may bring quite unexpected- ly some of our warm weather birds. A yellow warbler seen by the writer on that date is such a case. Bobo- links were heard flying over the day before, and goldfinuhes on May 14 were early. ny “The kingbird at Jamestown, May 5, and Arkansas kingbird at Argusville and Tower City, May 9, are unusually early records. The house wren at Argusvilie, April 30, and rose-breasted grosbeak at Fargo, May 11, also are ahead of time. Barn swallows were observed at Tower City, May 6, Ar- gusville, May 7, Fargo, May 11, just about the usual time. Tree swallows were seen at Fairdale, April 26, Tower City, April 27, Fargo, May 8. Warblers Showing Cowbirds were reported at Tower City and Fairdale, April 30, Fargo, May 3. The first of May seems to be the usual date for them though they are sometimes see much earlier, ep- perently having traveled with flocks of rusty or red- winged blackbirds. White-throated sparrows had been seen by the writer on April 21, but only beceuse of two birds taken in the traps. They did not become com- mon until April 30. They were re- ported at Jamestown, April 25, Fair- dale, April 30, Minot, May 2. The white-crowned sparrow is consider- ably less common according to the writer’s observation but they were noted at Tower City, Jamestown, Fairdale end Minot, April 29, Arne- gard May 3, Fargo May 4, Argusville May 9. A number of records of warblers have been received. The myrtle was reported at Fargo, April 20, Fairdale, April 21, Minot, April 28, Tower City and Jamestown, May 1. Other spe- cies seen ere Palm at Argucville, May 3, Fargo May 9; Tennessee at Minot, April 29; Nashville at Minot, May 2, Argusville, May 10; black-and-white at Fargo, May 10; blackpoll at Fargo, May 12; water thrush at Argusville, April 20, Fargo, May 11; orange- crowned warbler at Argusville, May 1; Cape May and magnolia at James- town, May 10; ovenbird and redstart at Argusville, May 10. Two pine siskins were seen by the writer, May 8, and for several days thereafter. A few of these birds are usually seen during migration and re- maining for a few days, feeding upon dandelion. birch and elm seeds. The birds are small and dull colored, much striped with brown and with a small spot of yellow in the wing. They are ily, recs by their notes and flight which resemble that of the goldfinch to which they are closely related. The notrs, however, are more continuous snd have a seit | sound. Purple Finches Show Up A group of four purple finches were observed May 10. A few of these like the siskins are seen during migrations but the writer las never seen them in the purple plumage. They are sparrow-like birds somewhat resem- bling a female rose-breasted gros- beak, but smaller, and with the un- derparts striped with brown. They feed a great deal upon buds and usually may be found sitting quietly upon the tree limbs, stretching their necks around every now and then to secure their food. Quite a few Harris sparrows were here, May 11 and +2, most of them going on again that night. At this time of the year thc migrating birds rove rapidly with only short stops if the weather is favoratle. Summer is near at hand ard many of them sti.’ have hundreds of miles to travel before reaching their nesting place. Feather Mite Doing Harm to Poultry in Grant; Dip for Relief The first evidence of a feather mite in poultry has come to the Grant county agent's office recently. Inves- tigation has shown that this little pest is doing destructive work, in that the feathers are all being stripped off the | while the skin is being chewed up so badly that it eventually results in th3 loss of an entire flock of chickens. The thing to cv in the case of a bunch of chickens is to dip the whole flock in a mixture of water, of sulphur and soap, the proportion being, water one gajlon, flowers of sulphur two ounces, and ounce. If a person is very many hens, gallon wi very short distance, for when dipping, | i then, and only then, are results pos- sible. When dipping, 9 person must be very careful to mix the solution at | C! intervals, so as to keep the sulphur in suspension.

Bismarck’s-Chicken Hatchery Managers Plan Developments Bismarck’s new and only chicken hatchery is operating in full force. It was opened this spring by the Beals State Chickeries, with head- quarters at Fargo, and is managed by Clarence Njaa. A. P. Beals, Fargo, is general manager. The hatchery was opened here after @ survey made during the winter in- dicated that bilities for develop- ing the hatchery business here were favorable. Part of the poultry building of Armour Creameries has ben secured by the new company for a pioneer location. Plans for the coming year, include the renting, purchasing, or building of a hatchery for a perman- ent location with a capacity of from 60,000 to 80,000 egg incubators. Pla! to secure eggs will be made immedi- ately after hatching season this year with farmers in the Bismarck terri. tory, it is announced by the man- ager. Culling of flocks and work in the general production of certified eggs for another season will be conducted later in the season, according to Present plans. © A department will be established by the new company for the brood- ing of chickens up to the age of three weeks. Chickens at this age have Passed the most dangerous age for mortality. This will enable farmers to purchase chickens which already have passed the danger period. Custom hatching, when farmers bring in eggs to be hatched, will be carried on next year by the com- Pany, the management states. Manegers predict that the new hatchery will mean more and better poultry, more return to the producers for chickens and eggs, and will fill a need felt long in this area.

NORTH DAKOTA HAS GOOD AIR MARKINGS Cando, Dickinson, Glen Ullin, Velva and Williston Only Unmarked Cities Only five cities in North Dakota with @ population of moré than 1,000 have failed to identify themselves for aerial navigation by roof markings. They are Cando, Dickinson, Glen Ullin, Velva, and Williston. This has been announced by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, Inc., with headquarters in New York City, which has been making an effort to convince every city in the United States of in- termediate size of the value of roof markings. The foundation has appealed to Governor George F. Shafer for co- Operation in trying to interest the five cities in North Dakota in the pro- “Only 2,000 cities of a total of about 7,500 of intermediate stre—that is, be- tween 1,000 and 40,000 population— have failed to undertake this identi- fication for aerial navigation,” states | Harry F.

SUSPECTED ROBBER SHOT BY POLICEMAN St. Paul, May 30—(?)—Louis Mc- Nevin, 30, who was shot by a patrol- man, was slightly improved today but physicians said his condition still was: critical. MeNevin was shot in the chest yes- terday by Patrolman Gustave Carl- son after he had arrested McNevin and @ companion on suspicion of having been implicated in recent robberies. Carlson noticed an automobile with a North Dakota license No. B-72876, which had been reported stolen ‘here. He forced the machine to the curb and ordered the two men to accom- pany him to an oil filling station nearby. As he was telephoning police head- quarters, McNevin pulled a revolver and shouted for the officer to hold up his hands. Instead, Carlson drew his own weapon and fired. The sec- ond man escaped.

Hopper Outbreaks In Grant Will Largely Be by Localities From letters coming to Theodore Martell, county agent, a few places in Grant county will have quite a num- ber of the localized grasshopper out- breaks. ‘The gi r bulletin, which bulletin will in part at least Guide in the cestruction of the grass- hopper in the nymph stage, has been sent out widely. A party from Flasher sent word that in the area no°.h and west of there, on the county line, man: grass- hoppers have been seen on the edges of the fields. People who own the land should investigate this condition and get poison from the Grant county agent's office and poison the land now while the grasshoppers are im- mature and sasy to puison. A sack of bran mixed together with the poison at this time v-'"! be enough to poison one whole section of land, while if the grasshoppers have be- come mature adults a sack of bran will be enough for about 10 acres. Therefore the saving is enough to warrant immediate action.
