WANTED: A>BIRD SURVEY
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Do you know that insects are injur- ing the crops in this country to the extent of $50,000.000 yearly. and that noxious weeds double this amount Tn expense to the farmer: that 1t is only by means of birds that these insects and weeds can be destroyed; and that the birds of this country are being killed faster than they can preedf These are the facts that the country ts facing just now. They are extreme Iy important facts. Because Of this it might seem urgent that comprehen- sive bird survey Of the country pc made, to determine how many birds of each species exist, what species Is in danger of becoming extinct, and what means may -o employed to pro- tect and preserve all birds.
 Ii will mean, first of all, an ina- mense plan of education. To the ma jority of the American people oiras have always been things that might be wantonly destroyed as a pastime. or zealously hunted because at some time or other they were found prey ing on garden or orchard. By means of care.ul inquiry and at endless ex~ pense and pains, the Biological Survey of the National Department of Agri. culture has secured evidence that proves beyond doubt, that without birds to police the upper air and Keep the crops. orchards and gardens tree from small rodents and insects, ana destroy the weed seeds. the crops Of this, the greatest of agricultural na- tions, would be failure. and distress sing poverty be the portion Of the peo- pie.
 Related efforts are being made to save the birds but the work must be bigger, more comprehensive. farther reaching. More and more lands Is be- ing cleared or redeemed for the uses of the farmer every year. the crops are increasing with phenomenal bounds, and the depleted bird population, work ing overtime at that. cannot possibly do it's share in helping the farmer. To protect these birds, to encourage their rapid increase and prevent their being slaughtered in many localities should become one of the earliest du- ties of the progressive farmer. The President has already set aside twen- ty-three bird reservations; the Nation al Association of Audubon Societies has secured the enactment of a model bird law in thirty-two States: the Bio- logical Survey of the Department Of Agriculture has branch in charge Of game preservation: the American Or nithologists' Union. the Bird Protect i've Society of America, and the League of American Sportsmen, are protest ing against the wanton destruction of birds. Yet only a beginning has been made. It remains for the mass of peo- pie to take the matter in hand.
 How many birds are there in the United States? No one knows. Yet basing figures on the recent work of two young men who made a bird sur vey of Illinois, it is estimated that there must be 1,414,000.000 in all. These birds must care for the 2.OO0,- 900 acres of farm lands in this coun- try and supply a progeny that can
