BIRD EXPIRMIEATIOE.

With the advent of the open sea-
son for bird shooting, the hunter
is abroad in the land and the crack
of the rapid-fire guns will echo
among the hills as long as a bird
is left at which to shoot.
1t is hardly worth while TO enter
a protest against bird slaughter,
inasmuch as the birds are prscti-
cally extinct in many sections. We
are not blaming the sportsmen, but
there is room for criticism of the
farmers anu other land owners for
allowing the Sportsmen To SO into
their fields and completely wipe
out every bird. If some consider
alton we're shown to the extent of
leaving n few for propagation,
there would be no criticism for
anyone. But this Is never done.
The sportsman who goes out to
kill, would feel that he had failed
of the highest results il pcrchaRce
he thought he had left behind one
bird of a covey.
Were we permitted ,o make the
laws for the protection of the birds,
they would be given absolute pro-
lection for "A decade. Not bird
should be killed in that period.
This would give the birds plenty
of time to multiply, and in multi
plying give aid to the farming
interests. In the enactment of
such a law, the sportsmen would
profit. for at the end of the decade
there would be something worth
hunting, for, at present the scarcity
makes the trip afield hardy worth
while.
We repeat, the land owner must
do the protecting. In the absence
of game wardens, it is an easy
matter for those who are unscrupu-
lous to evade the State and county
laws. But the farmer who posts
treSpaSs notices Is pretty secure
against intrusion. 1t is a duty he
owes the birds. himself, his neigh
Dor and the State. - Roanoke

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-02-02

1t seems that the only thing left 70
do is to investigate. Investigating is
perfectly safe since it never finds out
anything vital and may stave off mat
ters until the people forget. But if
there is an investigation let it be kept
out Of the hands of college professors.
Congressman are bad enough as in
vestigators, but they are not a marker
to college professors. From this source
have recently come some opinions as
to the cause of high prices that are
certainly the most astounding ever
conceived by the brain Of man.
Blaming It on Breakfast Foods.
For example. one professor says that
the advance in beef is due to the
breakfast food craze. That sort of
logic would make Aristotle reassemble
his dust and wildly break out Of the
grave. The particular pedagogue re-
sponsible for this startling idea thinks
that many bushels Of perfectly good
corn have been wasted on breakfast
foods that might have been fed to cat
tie and hogs; therefore the price Of
meat has gone UP. Simply marvellous!
The average man without learning
would naturally suppose that the eat
ing Of oatmeal and faxed bran would
lessen the consumption of meat and
hence lower the price; also he would
be of opinion that very little corn is
used in the manufacture Of breakfast
foods, which are mostly COMPOSED of
wheat, oats, rice, sawdust or chopped
alfalfa. Other professors have given
out quite as remarkable views on the
high price .question-that is, if the
newspapers do these learned men no
wrong. Whatever may be said Of Civ
ing tainted money to colleges, there is
surely something tainted somewhere
1t might be a prize idea for some of
these institutions Of higher education
{ to establish chairs of common sense.
Fortunately Secretary of Agriculture
! Wilson has already been Investigating
| the high prices question and has had
some things to say thereon. Now, we
all agree that Wilson is perhaps the
most competent man in the country to
conduct such an inquiry, and what he
says will carry weight. First and fore
| most, he asserts that the farmer is
| getting but little if any more for his
food products than he did ten years
ago. This clears the atmosphere. We
now have something tangible to work
on. On this statement Of fact his con-
