nation. All parts of the country have
suffered from insect pests which did not
exist until the slaughter of the birds
had lessened their protection. John
Davey, the pioneer tree surgeon, claims
that millions of dollars are lost annually

Scientists claim that the unrestricted
natural increase Of the gypsy moth would
defoliate the entire United States in less
than eight years. Birds can do more
than any human device to overcome this
pest. A scarlet tanager has been seen
to eat thirty-five gypsy moths minute
for eighteen minutes. Other birds are
equally rapacious. The spread OF the
gypsy moth in New England is directly
due to the decrease of the song birds. A
record of a great outbreak of the gypsy
moth in Europe states that, after every
human effort had failed to vanquish the
pest, the titnice and wrens which ap-
peared in large numbers conquered 1t

what Scout Craft teaches them. And

And ali this wonderful work is done

have her sons join the Boy Scouts.
They would be better in mind and

would carry their virtues home to the
