Birds of Michigan series on Agriculture by D D Hughes
Former townsman D D Hughes launches a new series on the Birds of Michigan and their relation to agriculture. The Grand Rapids lawyer and naturalist is noted for legal distinction and rising to high rank in natural history writing. The papers, first in the Detroit Free Press, will appear in the Michigan State Pomological Society reports and be spread via the Farmer and Michigan press. Downing urged fruit culturists to destroy the insects or they will destroy you, a view Hughes echoes, saying birds are mankind's benefactors and co workers with Michigan fruit growers.
