BIRDS ALONE CAN
CHECK WEEv|L,
SAYS EXPERT
James H. Rice, Jr,, Of Audubon
Society, Speaks for Protection
of Feathered Creatures.

Atlanta members of the Audubon
Society were congratulating them
selves and their friends on having
heard a most able address Friday
evening in the dining hall of the
Piedmont Hotel where James Henry
Rice. Jr. spoke on the subject of
bird protection.
Mr.. Rice, field secretary Of the Au-
dubon Society, was introduced by
Judge John c. Hart. State Tax Com
| missioner and himself one OF the
States most able advocates of bird
protection
The speaker asserted that birds act
as a natural balance" to the forces
of nature, one of the forces being in
sscts.
There are no bad insects" Mr..
Rice said. "All act AS salutary
check on the growth of vegetation.
| which without them would overrun
| the world. But the insects, uncon-
troIled by. their natural masters. the
| birds. become very harmful and even
| dangerous.
There were insect outbreaks in
times past, and there will be insect
outbreaks in the future. In the past
| the birds always were able to round
up and check such ~utbreaks. 1t de-
ponds on mankind's attitude toward
the birds what will happen in the
future.
! mo better example could be given
than that OF the Mexican boil weevil
so called. 1t is native of Guate-
mala, where in the cotton patches 1t
is kept down by domestic turkeys
and by being picked off by hand
When cotton was planted in Mexico
the insect, encouraged by the plen-
teous food, actually crossed Mexico
and was checked only by lack of cot
| ton on this side OF the Rio Grande,
When cotton was planted there, the
| boil Weevil started northward. In
| 1892 it crossed the river near Browns
vile, Texas, and in fifteen years trav-
| ersed the State of Texas and en-
tered Louisiana. 1t now is on the
| border of Georgia, the main body of
| the insectiverous advance being about
25 miles from the State line in Ala
| bama."
| Mr. Rice then proceeded to show
| that under "weevil conditions" it was
| possible to raise half crop at The
| limit, and that only the aid of the
birds could hold the progress of the
weevil in check SO as to remove the
menace from the South.
