BARLOW B. MILLS, State Entomologist Bozeman, Dec. times agricultural areas are faced with the necessity of reducing and controlling various birds and mammals which destroy an abnormal amount of crops or which adversely affect domestic animals and poultry. This control is just as important as is the control of weeds. However, it has long been known that many birds which are classified as "vermin" are not culprits.

In fact they may even be beneficial, but we been slow to accept this information.

The purpose of this series of articles is to present facts concerning the value or harmfulnesa of some of the common large birds which have been accused, and properly so in some instances, of conflicting with agricultural or game Interests cles will also some species Montana.
