FEAR MOTH PLAGUE
FARMERS RALLY FOR PROTECTION
OF BIRDS.


New York. July 2S.-(Specisl. y
Alarmed by the invasion Of the gypsy
and brown-tail moths into this State
from New England, where their raw
ages have cost the people many mill
lions Of dollars, thousands Of leaders
among the agricultural communities of
every section of the country are today
joining a movement to ward or this
crop plague by protecting the birds
that serve as it's greatest check. Act
ing upon this emergency demand from
the forming interests. the Natteuel ~,
ISOLATION OF Audubon Societies has es-
tabltshed a national information bu-
reau at 141 Broadway from which In
structions for preserving and incrsas-
ing the numbers of the intoxicating
birds are being distributed throughout
the country. II every American who
Is interested In the crop wealth Of the
land will join this campaign OF practi-
cal education at once. 1t Is declared by
chronological experis here there may
yet be some hope of averting the
moth plague which now threatens to
sweep the continent.
Three main lines of work have been
projected today by the leaders in this
movement on behalf Of the country's
agricultural interests. Sentiment in
favor of the protection of birds Is to
be crystalized, comprehensive and dras-
tic laws to this end. enacted, and every
possible means used to attract birds
and thus increase their number to COM
bat the insect crop pests. Every State.
county and town where proper protec-
ton of the insect-eating birds has not
been provided or whose bird laws are
not enforced, will fall an easy prey TO
the costly ravages of the spreading
moths, It 10 shown. Failure to take
up an active campaign such as is pro-
posed can only be undone in the face
OF the moth plague by years Of hard
labor and millions of dollars of the tax
payers money, 1t has been proved by
the government and state authorities.
The Empire State is today massing a
great force of experts near Port Ches-
ter, where these insect pests have just
crossd the border line on their way
West. If this advancing column is
not checked. it will cost the people
many millions of dollars in the near
future to make up for the depletion of
its wild birds, due to years. of lax laws,
1t is estimated. In other States in the
path of this pest, where little legisla-
ton exists to prevent the slaughter of
the insect-eaters, campaigns are al
ready on foot to rouse the people to the
seriousness of the situation. For years
the millinery interests have prevented
the farmers from securing real bird
protection in New York State, 1t is
pointed out, and now the whole Com
monwealth must pay the penalty.
