The annual report of the Audubon
society of California has just been
issued. The society has been of great
benefit in protecting the game and
birds of California, and all species of
non-game birds are protected except
eight, which are classified as being
more harmful than beneficial Many
changes have been made in the laws
governing bird life, brought about by
the persistent efforts of this society.
Other things earnestly desired by the
society are the taking from the game
list the mourning dove and band-tailed
pigeon. The former bird is now pro-
tected in twenty-three states in the
union The society has also employed
a school secretary, who has gone be-
fore the children of the state teaching
them the economic value of the birds
and the need of their proper protec-
ton.
The wild birds of California are one
of the states important assets. They
control vast hordes of insects that
would, without such control, destroy
great part of several of the soil pro-
ducts that add annually hundreds of
of dollars to the wealth of
the state That this control is not
more effective in many localities is
because the wild birds have been, and
are SJlll D6luSp u6SlIOyGu ny the lSllOI
ant, the mercenary and the wantonly
cruel. Local officers in the club are
Mrs. Harriet Williams Myers, secre-
tary; Mrs. Katheryn H. Chambers,
321 Avenue &c, treasurer, and several
members of the board of directors.
There are about forty-siX junior
Audubon societies, which have been
throughout the state with
a membership of 1885.
