The bobolink, transferred to the south, lives daintily cn the rice fields, and this industry is actually crippled by these birds, which appear in innumerable hosts at seed planting and again at liar vest time. No one would imagine that our well favored ••Roixrt o' Lincoln” comes to us from a meet fearful raid on rice, and departs from us with the same evil intent. The rice crop by the last census • was valued at $6,607,000, the product the rice birds is estimated at $2,000,000 annually. Thousands of men and boys arc employed to shoot these trespassers, and the rice fields are shadowed by a ••sulphurous canopy,” as if some grand battle was in progress. The last report of the commissioner of agriculture has some startling facts in regard to the ravages of these birds. The rice planters are in despair. Individual looses are oft- n 50 pi-r cent, of the crop, and from $5 to $10 an acr, Is not uncommon. The flight of these birds i- always in the night. They appear in the spring in the last half of April, and return punctually j in South C arolina on Aug. 21 and the two or three days following.—Scientific Aim rican.
