HOW BIRDS PROTECT A
MASSACHUSETTS ORCHARD

very interesting experiment by
+. II. Forbush. state ornithologist of
Massac husetts. shows how the birds will
work for us, if we will only let them.
An old neglected orchard was selected
and special efforts were made to at
tract the birds during the winter
months. by preparing food that they
particularly liked, and placing il where
they could readily find it; for instance,
suet, which was tied to the branches of
the trees. As a result of this effort,
the birds. instead of leaving when the
snow fell, remained; and chicadees,
nuthatehes, woodpeckers and creepers
spent the winter in this old orchard,
eating large numbers of eggs of the
fall canker worm moth and the larvae
of other injurious insects. In the
spring, when the female canker worm
moths appeared, the chickadees fed on
these. Other trees in the neighbor-
hood were badly infested with worms,
while this orchard where the winter
birds had been at work was paraeti-
cally free from them; the few which
did appear were easily disposed Of by
the sumner birds which came to the To-
cality. The other orchards were al
most stripped Of their foliage, but this
one retained its leaves, and with one
exception was the only orchard in the
neighborhood to produce any fruit. 1t
Is interesting to note that the excep-
tion was the orchard nearest the one

AMERICA LEADS THE
WORLD IN COAL PRODUCTION

Since 1899, when the United States
supplanted Great Britain, this eoun-
try has held first place among the coal
producing countries of the world. In
1911 the total worlds production of
coal amounted to approximately 1,300,-
100000 short tons, Of which the United
States contributed 496, ,16S tons, or
3S1 per cent. In the twelve years
from 1899, when the country first sur
passed Great Britain, to 1911, the pro-
duction of the United States has in
creased nearly 100 per cent, while
Great Britain has increased its out
put about 25 per cent, from 246,506,-
l55 short tons to 04,51S,927 tons. The
United States in 1911 produced over
60 per cent more than Great Britain.
Germany's production of coal and hg-
mite in 1899 was 149, 49, ,766 short tons;
in 1911 it was 25s,223,763 tons, an in
crease of over 20 per cent. The COM
'bined production of Great Britain and
Germany in 1911 was 500, 800 short
tons, which exceeded the output of
the United States by only 66,521 ,522
tons, or lis per cent. The three coun-
tries, United States, Great Britain and
Germany, produce more than 80 per
cent of the World s total supply of
coal.-Chrouicle.

new PLAN FOR
COLONIzINC LAND

Out in Wisconsin, where they are
fond of large experiments and rather
enjoy venturing into new paths Just
to see what will happen, the state is
about to try scheme of cooperative
colonization as means of utilizing
for agriculture the many millions Of
acres of public lands that have been
laid waste by lumbermen.
The plan on which this will be done
Is one devised by certain Arthur L.
Williams, who is rather vaguely de-
scribed as an eastern expert, and,
as explained-not very lucidly-by the
milwaukee, Free Press, it combines the
common fund feature of the .Little
Landers'' at San Isidoro and the mort
gage-loan department of the German
Landschlft, with provisions for credit
borrowed from the Raiffeisen system.
AS solid foundation for the enter
prise, there is fund Of $4,000. 900.
appropriated some time ago by the leg
isiature, to be used for developing the
cut.over tracts. With this money land
VIII be bought at Wholesale rates in
such quantities as any colony may
desire; but each colonist will have to.
pay for what he wants whatever it is
worth for his purpose. The difference
between these two prices, which is ex-
pected nearly to equal the smaller, will
form a fund for cooperative uses and
the common benefit OF the colonists. It
will be administered under trustees
acting under the State Board of Pub
lie Affairs, but the administration is
to be along strictly business lines,
with no taint of charity at any point.
The colonies are to be composed of
successful and efficient families, not
paupers or detectives, and the land
will be really theirs, to do with what
they choose, and they can sell out
whenever they wish for whatever they
can get in case the advantages of the
cooperative plan. do not come up to
their expectations. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that the colonies will be per-
manent.
The plan seems not unpromising
Many sources of weakness that have
proved fatal in the end to other
schemes more or less socialistic or
communistic have been eliminated, and
the aspiration has been to be prac-
tical as well as up-to-date. The colo
nists will be peculiar people, only
in that they will share a common de.
sire to supplement individual effort by
mutual assistance so far as it may
prove agreeable and profitable. They
will not be anybody's wards or
proteges, while the rules by which they
contract to abide will be made and en-
forced by themselves.-lNew York
Times.

STUDYING THE
SOUTHERN NEGRO

The new attitude which southern
college men are assuming toward the
matter of race relationships is most
encouraging. In the tolerant. broad
minded friendliness of the rising gen
Grafton of college men lies the hope of
the negro race. Eighteen months ago
the Young Mems Christian Association
in colleges of the south launched a
movement for a definite study of this
problem Of the negro by white college
men. Our most sanguine hopes did
not lead us to believe that we would
be able to get more than 1000 south
ern college men studying this question
within the first year. In fact, so timid
were we that at our student confer
enee, where We gathered leaders from
all Of the colleges of the southeast, we
planned to invite personally group
of more mature and broadminded
students to enter this study. We felt
tfat if they became genuinely inter
ested each man could go back to his
college and start similar study
group. We had no hope that we could
secure more than fifteen or twenty
men in this conference for this study.
The negro course was announced as
one OF the seven courses III Ihe STUDY
of home and foreign missions, and
what was our amazement when we
found that more than one-third of the
students in the conference enrolled in
the class for negro study. These men
going back into various colleges so
encouraged the study of this problem
that during the term of 1901 we
were able to enroll some 1000 college
ren in small groups in the study of
tbs question. During the present col
lcee year of l911.12 we have already
enrolled some 5000 men. Thus it will
lie seen that in the last eighteen
wonths some 10000 southern white
college men have been giving some
genuine study to the big problems that
connect themselves with race relation
shrs in the south.-Southern Work

substantial profit that is religiously
applied towards the reduction of the
church debt, and when that is fin
ally wiped out, the chimes may be
expected.
