We come now to a class of birds better known and, with few exceptions, loved and protected by the fruit grower. The writer has a wide acquaintance among fruit growers of several states, and does not now recall a wide-awake, well-informed individual among them who is not a friend of the birds. The man is shortsighted, indeed, who will permit the destruction of such birds as robins, catbirds, thrushes, etc., because they take a few cherries or berries. Such a man must forget that he has to pay the hired man besides boarding him. There is no longer any question but that all three of the birds named above are of far more value than injury, and every possible means should be used to encourage them to nest.
