Insectiverous Birds Saved Cash
This Year For Colorado Farmers

through laws and their stricter en-
forcement throughout the country.
In northern Colorado, where the
Erasshoppers have been the most
difficult pest to fight by the farm
ers, this year very little damage to
crops resulted from this source. The
same conditions have resulted in
other parts OF the state where atten-
ton has been given to increasing
the numbers Of insectivorous birds.
The question of further protection
of this class Of birds will be discus
sed at a meeting of the society and
State Game Commissioner James
Shinn to be held soon. A recent
order Of game commissioner pro-
hibiting the sale of aigrettes and
similar hat adornment will be ex-
tended to include all song birds and
those which are considered the
friends OF the farmer. 1t will then
be possible to secure stuffed birds
and their feathers only through ex-
pensive Importation.
Commissioner Shinn has the CO.
operation OF the federal government
in preventing the further destruc
tion of these birds.
