CROP LOSS ssOo,oOo.oOo
This Is Due to the Decrease in Birds,
Says butcher.

New York, Oct. 3l-Thst because Of
the decrease in birds the United States
is losing yearly without protest a sum
larger than the capitalization Of all the
national banks in the country, was the
statement made yesterday by President
William butcher Of the National Asso.
citation Of Audubon Societies, at the an.
nual meeting Of the association here on
Tuesday. The public, declared Mr..
butcher, placidly allows agricultural
crops valued at Ss00,00O.0 900 to be annu-
ally destroyed by insects, which destruo-
tion Is entirely due TO the rapid decrease
in the number Of insectivorous birds in
the country.
IL a million or more dollars are lost
through the management Of bank or
other iduciary institution he said, 1T
creates wave Of protest throughout the
entire country, yet a yearly loss equal to
the entire capitalization Of the national
banks Of the country creates no COM
ment whatever, simply because the pub.
