3008 Code FABOR Our Animal Friends and Foes Bray Dr. R. L. Ditmars shows some of the insect pests such as the apple worms
which do over $100,000,000 damage per year; grasshoppers which do $53,000,000* and the weevil which does $40,000,000 damage and says that our annual loss due to insect pests is $420,100,000. Birds destroy large numbers of these pests and thus are our friends. Rats are so destructive that they each cost ten cents per day. The black-snake catches rats and is our friend.
Then he shows the farm cat, which is supposed to catch rats, but which finds it easier to kill birds, and draws the inference that it is poor judgment to kill the black-snake which destroys rats, while we pamper the cat which not only fails to do that, but kills many of our good friends, the insect-eating birds.
