Somebody has declared that if all birds were destroyed plant
life would disappear from the earth in a few years. This may be
an exaggeration, but there is ample reason for believing that birds
not only protect plant life, but animal life as well. They destroy
noxious insects that feed on the useful plants and some species of
birds feed on mosquitoes, which are the disseminators of malaria
and other diseases.
The state game warden of Tennessee has recently issued a
pamphlet in which he points out many interesting reasons why ev-
erybody should protect the birds, not from sentimental reasons but
on strictly utilitarian grounds.
One of the most indefatigable insect destroyers, according to
the pamphlet, is the quail. A quail’s stomach has been found to
contain 2326 plant lice; 568 mosquitoes; 109 potato bugs; 100
chince bugs; 39 grasshoppers; 12 squash bugs; 12 cutworms; 12
army worms and 8 white grubs. The value of the vicinity of a
single covey of quail in the vicinity of a garden or a field of grain
or cotton is, according to this statement, not inconsiderable. An-
other authority has said that the quail eats the boll weevil.
But the little game bird is not the only great insect destroyer.

gulf cities affected. As Texas City is most vitally concerned in
this new movement, a delegation from the Board of Trade or the
Young Men’s Business League should by all means be sent to at-
tend the comvention and do its part in working for the protection
of the interests of Gulf ports, of which Texas City is one of the
most important.
The necessity of parents warning their youngsters from
‘hopping trains” has been pointed out by E. A. Bynum, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the Texas City Terminal and Trans-
portation company. Every parent in Texas City should appreciate
the interest Mr. Bynum has taken in the matter. It is not every
business man who goes to the trouble of saving other people trou-
ble.
The practice of hopping trains, or crossing under and over them,
iff a very dangerous one. The most careful have been caught and
maimed for life. Intervening box cars and trains oftentimes
make it impossible to see a switch engine approaching the very
train one may be crawling under, or passing through. It is
much better to go a little out of one’s way to prevent the possibility
of an accident than to take chances of being crippled for
life. Parents should cooperate with Mr. Bynum and impress upon
the minds aof young Texas Cityians the danger of “hopping”
rides or crossing under or over trains.

Birds eat a little grain, but the amount of grain they appro- „
priate, compared with the value of the work they do in destroying mS
insects, is as valuable as the work of a paid farm hand compared
with the food he eats. It pays in dollars and cents to protect ev-

other “powers that be” in order to insure gulf ports getting a
square deal. Needless to say, concerted action is absolutely neces-
sary. The gulf cities affected must organize for their own protec-
tion. If they do not, millions of dollars worth of commerce will
go to eastern ports which should rightfully come to Texas City and
other gulf ports.
