Year-ShouId Be Protected.

Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee have the undesirable distiDc
ton of being the only states In the
union In which the slaughter OF robins
is permitted by law, and recent In
vestigations show that not less than
100000 robins are killed by some
10000 pothunters In these three states
during the winter months. Patient
investigation by ornithologists has
proved that robin In a year earns
one dollar in the destruction Of insects
injurious to crops. The pothunters
sell them for five cents a dozen Tbis
wanton waste of millions of dollars is
something which should appeal to the
hard common sense of every southern
farmer.
In an investigation of this deploT
able bird slaughter, writer
Recreation brings a sweeping indici
ment against the sportsmen OF Vh
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,
declaring that they are responsible
for the lack of legislation for protec.
tion of the robin. II Ia asserted that
as a class they have for years op.
posed the enactment of laws putting
robins on the forbidden list, ON the
ground that n the shooting of these
birds were made unlawful the pot

Street and lawn trees that are situ-

sort of guard. This is perhaps the
commonest injury to trees. The injury
shown in figure is an extreme case,
but can be duplicated on almost any

tree will soon rot, II not painted or

the tree is only a question OF time.
Mutilation IN curb laying is usually

of lawn trees, is collision with lawn
