The Feathered Friends.

AS the result of recent appeals from
farmers, orchardists, cotton growers
and ranchmen in every section of the
country, widespread compaign is be-
ing instituted for the protection of
every American species of insect-eat-
ing bird. During the coming year re
newed efforts will be put forth in ev-
cry state in the union by the Nationa.
Association of Audubon societies,
which will head the movement, to OBJ
tain protective legislation for the ma
tive birds as well as better enforce
ment of such existing laws as the An
dubon workers have succeeded in hav-
ing placed on the statute books. If
sufficient support is forthcoming from
the agrarian interests affected by the
insect pests, which the birds hold in
check. it is hoped to make this a great
economic as well as sentimental cam
paign.
Resolutions calling upon the govern.
ment and state legislatures to cooper
ate in this Audubon work throughout
the entire cotton belt were unani-
mously passed by the international
conference of cotton growers, spin
ners and manufacturers at Atlanta
where representatives of the cotton
industry from all over the world met
early this month. The cotton men as
sured the Audubon societies that they
realized that the native birds had been
demonstrated to be the best effectual
means of checking the boll-weevil and
other pests that menace their crop
The government biological survey, the
abolishing of which was successfully
opposed by the Audubon workers last
winter, was also commended by the
cotton conference and the extension
of its work recommended as a most
economic value of various bird species
by its scientific examination of the
stomachs of specimens.
Although campaigning has resultel
in the passing of protective Legislation
for bird life in every southern state
where five years ago no such statutes
existed, it is the intention of the asso
citation to redOuble its efforts for
proper enforcement and amendment oil
these laws as part of it's general ma
tional campaign. In the northwest
the coast states and throughout the
middle west it is intended to institute
similar campaigns in response to the
appeals of oranges and organization
of orchardists which have come froGI
every. section.

The Wealth of the Farm.

n writer in the current number Of
The World Today has procured some
striking statistics of the wealth of the
middle west. His purpose is to show
why and how Wall street and the fl
nancial centers of the east have lost
their domination over the financial af-
fairs of the nation, but the facts pre-
pared for the proof of this furnish
food for thought on the development
of the smaller towns of the area be-
tween the Mississippi and the Rockies.
Fifty-nine of these small towns within
900 miles of Chicago were selected,
most of them in Iowa, Kansas. Ne
braska and Illinois, and a record made
OF their shipments of farm products.
For one of his illustrations the town
of Essex, Iowa, is used, about which
but few people outside of the atlas
makers and the census taker have
heard much and from that town in
the year ending with June 80 last
were shipped Isl carloads of cattle,
227 cars of hogs, 80 cars of corn, )
cars of horses, 8 cars of eggs and 1 car
of oats, for all of which the farmers
of the vicinity were paid clear of
freight charges, s413S91. From the 50
towns visited there were shipped by
rail during the year PLAT carloads o.
farm products, valued at $1S,3S5, 900,
i'll addition to the $1,2O0,O0O paid in
freight rates to the transportation
companies.
The statistics furnished through diff
ferent authentic sources as to the
wealth producing capacity of the west-
ern farms leaves no room for misun-
derstanding of the dominating power
of the agricultural regions in national
affairs. The crops are exchanged for
money. which comes to the west, with
the result, in the last few years, of re-
lieving the west of any dependence
upon the money interests in, the spec
ulative centers. The department of
agriculture estimates the value of the
wheat and corn crops of 1904 at ST.
0OO000,000 Practically all of this is
produced in the region west of the
Alleghenies and il furnishes bank &C.
count that makes the stupendous
transactions of slime of the steel trust
and other big financial combinations
look like the small change which the
