While passing tn rough the coun-
try on a railroad train or in buggy,
make it point to notice the number of
birds that are flying over the fields.
You will see hundreds of them and
birds OF all species that inhabit this
part OF the country. This increase
among the birds can be credited to the
game laws and to the educating of the
small boy, and that same boy In the
form oil man, to not kill these insect |
and weed seed eaters. The |
more birds we have the less the orchard
and the field will be bothered with
'ruit and grain killing insects. Obey
The game laws, not because you fear
The penalty but because you know it is
'or your own good and for the good of
he community at large.
