The closing session of the national
grange brought out three or four very
important resolutions, which were
adopted One was to the effect that
the grange favors the adoption of a
special post system on rural delivery
routes. And It reafiirmed it's demands

other resolution Endorsed the measure

other resolution that found favor was
one asking that the representatives of
agriculture be given fair share of
the appointments in the administra-
tive affairs of the national and state
government, especially in the matter
pertaining to agriculture and rural af-
fairs. Another quite important reso-
luton relating to both parcels post and
the postal ~avings banks was to the
effect that it should become the duty
of the national secretary to file a list

EFFECTIVE BIRD PROTECTION

The Audubon Society OF America
has inaugurated a vigorous campaign
having in view the more effective pro-
lection of the birds of America asa
this time the appeal is being made
along the line of practical rather than
sentimental considerations. The argu-
ment now being put forth is that bird
destruction means a loss ia dollars and
cents to the gardeners, fruit growers
and farmers of the country. This viii
win. Present an argument that bits
folks in their pocketbooks and they
are bound 10 sit up and take notice
The plan of campaign of the society
contemplates the dividing of the conn
try into seven districts and the placing
of an expert ornithologist In charge OF
each. 1t would seem as if with the
prosecution of its work along general
lines the society could make a definite
advance by using its influence to SO
cure the passage of federal laws r~o-
hibiting absolutely fhe destruction of
useful birds migrating at different sea-
sons of the year from one state to ali-
other. A communication sent by the
writer to the congressman of his dis
trict and referred by him to G. H
Merriam. chefsof the bureau of bioIog-
icai survey. seemed to develop the fact
that the reason action had not been
taken along the line suggested that of
federal bird protection was due TO in
ability to arouse interest in the sub
ject on the part of members of con
gress, coupled with inadequate appro
priations which would be available for
carrying such laws into effect. .Iusi
SO long as the matter of bird protec
ton is left to the several states re
suits secured will be incomplete an1
unsatisfactory \ law passed by con
gress for the protection Of Interstate
birds would cover all states. State
laws are good 50 far as they go, hlli
they should be REINFORCED by federal
enactments.
