port that the annual loss to the cour

port that the annual loss to the coun-
try through insect pests amounts to
from several hundred and ninety-five
to eight hundred million dollars. To
bring home the significance OF these
figures, the report adds that: There
are about six hundred colleges in the
United States today. Their buildings
and endownments have been centuries
in accumulation. The value Of the col
lege and university buildings is esti-
mated at $200,O00000 and the endow-
ments at $1s,00o00o If they should
be destroyed tomorrow and
endowments-the insect tax Of one
year would replace them and leave a
balance sufficient to enGow thirty-two
new universities in the sum of ten
million dollars each.
q We have in this country today
about twenty million school children,
and the cost of their education has
become by far the heaviest tax laid
upon the surplus Of the country, yet 1t
costs more by many millions to feed
our insects that 1t does to educate our
children. If there is any way In which
this vast and destructive tax upon the
national income can be prevented or
stayed or resisted in any appreciable
measure, 1t would seem to be the part
Of wisdom to act without delay. y

CONGRESS
Favorable Action for the Preserva
ton Of Bird Life is Looked for
In the Near
Future.

One Of the prominent questions be-
fore the lawmakers and the people is
that of bird protection. There are
those who believe that the right way
to accomplish this is through educa-
ton and through the schools. Others
urge that this is a slow way and IT
we are to wait for that, there will be
nothing left to protect.
Bills to provide federal protection
for migratory birds, which were intro
duced in the United States senate by
Senator Mclean and in the house Of
representatives by Congressman
Weeks, have both been reported fav-
orally out Of committee. The former
was considered by the senate commit
tee on forest reservations and the pro-
lection of game and the latter by the
house committee on agriculture.

Under present conditions countless
numbers of ducks, geese and shore
birds are slaughtered at time when
every female killed means the de-
struction of small flock. At all times
the killing goes on at a rate that is
out Of all proportion to the natural In
