Finder return to Fannie Gilmore, Currier Hall HAWKS AND OWLS BETTER THAN CATS Zoologist Says Birds of Prey are Farmers' Greatest Friends in Killing Mice One Sparrow hawk or screech owl will rid the farmer of mice more quickly than all the cats in the vicinity. These birds of prey should not only be encouraged but propagated, according to a publication on "The Raptorial Birds of Iowa" by the late Dr. Bert Heald Bailey, a graduate student at the University. The book is just off the press. These two birds will rid the farmer of mice, insect pests, and other vermin and are a positive asset to the agricultural interest of the state, writes Dr. Bailey. The vultures, hawks, and owls of Iowa, represented by forty varieties, are with the exception of a few species, among the most efficient of all natural or artificial agencies in protecting the crops. "In a state whose wealth lies chiefly in its tillable soil, the protection of growing and ripening crops is of first importance," he asserts,"and no factor should be omitted in the problem of increasing the output. Accordingly every agency that can be brought to our assistance in the prevention of the annual distruction of see, blade, or ripened grain, should be utilized." The hawks and owls possess enormous appetites and a powerful and rapid digestive apparatus. Their sure flight, sharp talons, and long beaks make the best allies of the farmers in fighting insect and rodent enemies.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK IOWA CITY, IOWA MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM next column, article continued jurious. The popular opinion that birds of prey are wholly harmful has so firm a hold on the minds of the people that nothing but a demonstration can change it, thought Dr. Bailey, and so he set to work, collected specimens of every species of hawk and owl in the state and dissected them. He spent years in observing these birds in the field and taking note of their stomach contents and thus arrived at his conclusion. Birds of prey are not easily studied in the field, Dr. Bailey states, because of their naturally shy and distrustful dispositions so most of his work was done in dissection which constitutes the most dependable evidence on the economic status of each bird. Dr. Bailey, the author of the new book on hawks and owl which has been published by the Iowa geological survey died just at the time he was to receive his doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Iowa. The book was to constitute his dissertation for the fulfillment of the requirements for his degree. CALENDAR FOR WEEK TODAY 8:00 p. m.
