terminated for its feathers After 8
years protection the warden in charge
reports that during the past summer
1880 young were raised. This con.
stitutes by far the largest nesting group
of these birds on the Atlantic coast of
the United States. Here also is found
the Cobot's Tern, the only place on our
eastern shores where it nests today.
1t is 80 rare that only seven eggs were
laid and Matched the past year"
1t is not to beg thought, nor is it de.
sirable, that birds should becom me as
plentiful as they were in the days of
the pioneers. But with return to
such plumbers as the land can support
without the danger of their becoming
destructive, the farmer will be relieved
of the fight against insect enemies, an
item of expense which is estimated at
20 per cent of the whole cost of raising
the nations crops.
