Opposes Abolition of
Biological Survey

'DITOR Of The Call-Sir: A tele-
n gram from Washington states
that a bill is before Congress to
abolish the Bureau of Biological
Survey. This bureau was originated In
1885, at first for determining the exact
relations of birds and mammals to
agriculture. Very soon. however, it's
scope had to be enlarged, as 1t was
recognized that the distribution areas
of indigenous plants and animals were
closely related with those of cultivated
crops Later the bureau undertook the
most important work of supervising
the introduction and protection of
game, the recognition and prevention
of Importation of injurious species or
pests"
In view of the absolutely essential
character of the work of the survey, it's
abolition would be positively per-
nicious. The interests of the farmer,
fruit grower and stock raiser would
suHer to an alarming extent. In many
parts OF the United States, notably in
California, the economic balance be-
tween production and destruction in
favor OF the former is maintained by
constant supervision and scientific
practices Let these be removed. leav-
growth or Introduction of obnoxious
pests natural sequence to the abb
sence of biological survey, and re-
suits absolutely disastrous would en-
sue.
There seems to be absolutely no
justification for the proposed bill. Its
opposition is a matter OF moment to
every one who has the welfare of Cali
fornia at heart and 1t is requested that
all district representatives be fully i'm
pressed with the necessity of immedi-
ate and Joint opposition to the bill in
any form whatever
The Cooper Ornithological Club and
the Audubon Society have wired Sena-
tor Perkins and others to oppose
strongly abolition of the Bureau Of
Biological Survey All influence to
this end is earnestly desired.
FREDERICK w D'EVELYN,
president Cooper Ornithological Club.
