upon the injurious insects, and
wherever forests denote the
presence of great numbers OF
destructive caterpillars OF
grasses indicate that grubs are
destroying the grass roots, the
birds are not slow to assemble
and help restore equilibrium.
Native birds are one of the
nations most valuable assets.
Destroy them, and in a com
paratively short time the in
sects will have multiplied to
such an extent that trees will
BE- denuded of their foliage,
plants will cease to thrive. and
crops cannot be raised.
Whoever will take the trou-
BILE to study the birds is sure to
become a stronger defender of
them. Not only do they work
ceaselessly in mans interests,
but they exert an influence on
his life that brings him into
harmony and closer touch with
all nature. With glad song
they fill his world with bright
ness and JOY and give ornament
and motion to the land.

PROTECT THE BIRDS

THE protection of birds is one
that should interest every
North Dakotan. In only two
states in the union is their a
greater variety of bird life than
in North Dakota.
In an article in Out Door
Life and Recreation, L. K.
Hirshberg tells US why birds
are one of the nations most
valuable assets. He says in
part:
Legislation alone will never
assure complete bird protection.
Real protection will come
through educating people to
the value of the birds that they
may realize the part played by
them as economic factors in
everyday life.
According to an official re-
port contained in the year.
book of the Department of Ag-
riculture for 1904, farm crops
amounting to more than $780,
GOO, 600 in value are DESTROYED
each year by insects. Imagine
how much greater will be the
loss if one continues to destroy
the birds, who are the chief
protectors against this insect
army.
The millions of the insect
world are upon us. The birds
fight them and when the birds
are numerous aud have nest
lings to feed the number of in
sects they consume is. enor-
mous They require absolute
ly nothing at our hands save
the privilege of being let alone
while thev work for the people.
In fighting the insects the only
allies IN nature are the song
birds, woodpeckers, shore birds,
Swallows and martins, certain
moles, shire We, bats and
"A aev other living creatures.
All these wage war at their
own expense. Farmers might
just as we'll lose So, $50, 600
through a short apple crop as
to pay out chat sum in labor
and materials in spraying op-
~eratscns. And yet one goes on
Strengthening the friends and al
lowing others to slaughter
them.
Millions of Americans and
near Americans. both old and
young. now need to be shown
the actual figures that repre-
sent the value of birds as de-
stroyers of the insects, weeds
and the small rodents that are
swarming to over run and de-
YOUR the fields, orchards and
forests. Will the people never
learn that in fighting pests the
birds are worth ten times more
to men than all the poisons,
sprays and traps that ever were
invented or used.
Forests cannot be sprayed and
if the wild birds do not protect
them from insects nothing will.
If you will watch a warbler
collecting the insects out of
the top of a 70-foot oak, busy as
a bee hour after hour, it will
convince you that the birds do
for the forests that which man,
with all his resources, cannot
accomplish.
Birds afford a natural check
