or MAUREK , MAKES DEFENSE OF PHEASANTS “tens Charges Made by Farm- ers That Birds Cause Dam- age to Crops EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the an Associated acy of argumi méde against their distribution, but in other states of the union where’ the pheasant has been introduced over period, a study has been and made: are taken from the findings of those jo are in @ position to know some- ‘thi of. the subject. In the April issue of Field and Stream, a nationally known sports- men’s magazine, is an article written by Paul Brown. Brown writes that in New Jersey: “Pheasants were also charged with Gigging into potato hills, preventing @ normal yield and spoiling many of the new ‘spuds’ which were then sell- ing for fancy prices in the great, near-by markets of Philadelphia and New York. The investigation made in connection with this complaint showed that the potatoes were prob- ably exposed by faulty cultivation.’ No trace of the tuber was ever found in the viscera of any bird examined, | while it was showing that the birds were beneficial—for the crop of every one examined contained numerous potato bugs. Few birds will eat this hhard-shelled insect at all, and the phedsant is the only bird present in any numbers where toes are grown that is of the slightest value to the farmer.” In order that some testimony might ‘be introduced with respect to the ac- tivities of this bird in a neighboring state, we again quote from Brown's article as follows: “In Minnesota where there was much remonstrance against the in- nocent and harmless pheasant, a sur- ‘vey that extended over practically the entire state showed essentially the same situation that has always been found—that the bird is actually and decidedly beneficial rather than in- jutious.”—- The conservation department of the state of Pennsylvania has made a. most thorough investigation of these complaints on the part of the farm- ers against the pheasant, and their findings are as follows: “In Pennsylvania there were such bitter and frequent complaints, espe- cially throughout the southeastern part of the state, that the game com- mission conducted what is probably the most exhaustive field examination that has even been made as a result of farmers’ objections to pheasants. Leo. A. Luttringer Jr., investigating for the commission, covered a circuit- ous route of nearly 300 miles to visit the farms whose owners had com- plained of the harm done by pheas- ants. In every case he admitted the contentions made by the farmer, went, with him into the field which had sf suffered most—and then demonstrated. that the pheasants were not to blame.” Underwood Woman Dies in Bismarck Mrs. Elizabeth Vonderheide, 59, Un- », derwood, died here at 12:05 a. m.
