He simply would not be- lieve it. Apparently his scepticism has shaken the faith of some of the scientists. for now the Bureau of Bi- ologlcal Survey is opening up again the whole question. and has sentout a circular asking for definite information on certain points. Now is the chance for the enemy of the crow to discred‘ it him, if he can, and secure the re- versal of the somewhat favorable for- , their verdict. . Conceding that the crow does eat a considerable amount of noxious in- ‘ sects and small vermin, the question is whether it does not in other ways do more harm than'sood. The present discussion will hinge upon certain points suggested by questions pro- pounded In the above circular for end swer by the public. Among the‘folv lowing are of special interstate-— h‘irst,-—"I‘o what extent can the re‘ duction in numbers of our game-birds. such as grouse and quail. and many ' smaller lnsectlvoroua specious, be at-‘ tributed to the crow?" if a crow de stroys even one bread of insectivorous birds. it does in that one act more Fresh Caught Roe and Buck Shad Hard Crabs 25c a dozen All Kinds of Fish, Long and Round Clams, ‘ Open or in the shell Greenport Oysters : Cuibiirs Bridge. F ish Market harm than it could ever do of good. If it habitually eats the eggs of the partridge and Quail. itmight be prov- sn an important agent in the lamented disappearance of our native game- birds. Some think that only certain individual crows commit these depre. pistons, or that it is done only when chance furnishes special opportunity, of which i have my own doubts. in- formation sent in from many sources may decide the tenor of the new bul- letin. Sdcondw'Do crows destroy much poultry anr many eggs. and does the habit appear to be confined to a few individuals. or is it a more or less characteristic trait of all the crows in your vicinity!" Crowa certainly do» stroy considerable young poultry, and observations on this point will be of great value. Third-“Does it inflict serious dam- age upon corn, either when sprouting or when in the shock. and does it ap- pear to be as troublesome in your to- caiity as it'wss fifteen years ago?" This is the old question, one of great Importance. opened again for informa» tion up to date. Fourth—"Do farmers in your locality resort to the practice of timing seed corn? if so, how successfully has it protected the crop?" If this simple operation is really widely effective in saving’ seed corn from the attacks of crown, or of other birds or animals, the knowledgs of this will be of great value. information is also asked about win~ ter crow roasts in a locality—numbers of birds, acreage, and characteristic vegetation. , > Not many people, probably, are crows in Connecticut. Along the shore of Long island Sound a southern spe- cies called the fish crow reaches its northern limit. it may be recognised would be interesting to know how has it along the line of the questions given shoves The state ornithologist will gréatiy appreciate any items of information about the crows of Connecticut on one or more of these points, and any other observations about our much shot at but persistent black fellow citizen. These will be made good use of for local edi-dcstlon. and will also be sent to Washington for the government bul- letin. ,So will those who have‘ any definite information whatever kindly inform the state ornithologist whether or not our croivs in this state are im- proving in their morals?
