sections seem to indicate q favor
able state Of affairs as regards
this crop, although complaints
are made concerning the corn
and pea vines which have had
entirely too much rain and have
been as q rule, quite seriously
injured. The wet and warm
weather, however, has pushed
the cane ahead and it is making
splendid progress and indica-
tions point to a heavy tonnage on
the majority Of places in the
sugar belt. Let as hope that
the cane crop will be so excel
lent as to make up for the loss
suffered BY the corn and peas.

ter and the cheapening of the
cost of firearms have greatly
facilitated the work of destruc
tion.
The new law requires every
hunter to obtain a license, but
the license is so low as to be
failure as a deterrent to the class
from whom protection is most
to be desired. Furthermore, the
chief danger to our song birds
is from the small boy with the
small gun, who rOams abroad
without license and takes crack
at anything that may wear
feathers. The sale or posses
sion of certain quasi-toy guns
and other descriptions of small
rifles, should be strictly prohibit
ed, for they are not only men,
ance to bird life but are also the
prolific cause of innumerable
accidents to children and older
persons.
An important duty of the State
is to protect with unceasing
vigilance and determination our
rapidly disappearing game and
song birds. Many of the most
familiar species are most valuable
as insect destroyers, and save to
the farmers and fruit-growers
OF the country many millions of
dollars annually by devouring
insects that would otherwise
greatly damage or destroy their
grain, cotton, hay and fruit crops
and other vegetation.
Let the authorities put forth
extra efforts to apprehend and
punish the violatOrs of the game
laws. The wealth of Louisiana
| in animal and bird life has been
gradually growing smaller flor
many years, and unless real
protection shall be afforded it
will not be long before many of
our best known aud most highly
priced species will have become
extinct.

Destroying Valuable Birds.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
Complaints come from many
, sections of the State to the effect
that irresponsible and lawless
men and boys, principally ne
-grOes are engaged in the reck-
less and indiscriminate slaughter
-ot birds in utter disregard of
the law. Insectivorous birds of
many kinds, even including the
mOcking bird and other song
birds, are said to be among those
birds which have been slaughter
ed by thousands during the past
month or 80.
It is to be hoped that steps
will be taken speedy by the au
thorities to put stop to this
ruthless work and the same. to
punish to the utmost limit of the
law those who engage in it. As
the people advance in enlighten-
ment, the conservation of our
birds becomes more and more
q matter of Importance. In days
gone by game of all kinds was
so plentiful that no special pro-
vision was necessary to secure
its protection. In proportion as
the population has increased the
haunts and breeding grounds
of many species have been en-
croached upon. and the pot hun.
