ture study is the feature of recreation
for the Boy Scout trail builders just
now, the number of wild animals seen
at close range making it possible for
the boys to see them in their native
haunts and to obtain excellent photo
graphs of them in the woods. Arnell
Carpenter and William Thomasson of
Washington are among the lucky ones
in seeing wild animals. Both have
seen several deer and a bear.
The boys will have a large collection
of excellent photographs to show on
their return home. They are becoming
familiar with the sort Of wild animals
which abound here. They have estab-
lished a "salt-lick" near their camp,

for up to this time. in spite of long

seen. Scarcely day passes but a

sharp watching will discover a flock of

Opens Beautiful Country.

This trail may never be used by the
forest service" one of the officials here
remarked one day. 'It is being CON-
structed to permit easy and rapid access
to certain parts of this country in case
of fire. 1t would be possible, in case of
fire in any Of the valleys along the
Wild river section to bring in q crew of
fire fighters from Shelburne, or from over
the divide We hope that no fire will
ever visit this region. If It does, we
shall be ready. But. in any event, the
new trail will be used by tourists as soon
as they find out about it,
The new trail, to be known as The
Boy Scout White Mountain trail" will
open this region to fishermen In the fall
it will be used by hunters: botanists
biologists. nature lovers will visit the
country through the opening in the
woods which has been made by these
Boy Scouts. The plan for educating
these boys in forestry will produce an
unexpected result. With easy access
from Shelburne and Gilead into this
country, intimacy with the place will be
widened; the work being carried on by
the forest service will be better known.
and a wide area will be added to the
sporting paradise Of this White noun
tain country. That this is being brought
about through the assistance of the Bow
Scouts will add greatly to the prestige
OF the organization.

Fewest in the Southwest.

AS would be expected, the arid lands
of the southwest show the smallest
bird population, and large stretches in
Arizona and New Mexico do not contain
more than one pair of birds to seven
acres.
The most extensive census of forest
SO far received comes from Montana,
where the careful counting of the birds
on nearly 1000 acres showed an average
of one pair to each three acres
A call for volunteers was published
some time ago for observers to help
in the bird census. and replies have
come from all parts of the United
States. Each volunteer observer was
asked to select a certain definite area
of from forty to eighty acres and
enumerate the different kinds of birds
occurring there, and the number of pairs
of each kind actually nesting within
each territory.

CHEVY CHASE RANKS
FIRST IN BIRD CENSUS
Has an Average Feathered Popula-
ton of Seven Pairs to
an Acre.

Chevy Chase. Nd. takes first place
in the bird census being made for the
first time in the history of the United
States government
Chevy Chase has an average bird
population of seven pairs per acre,
while only a few places report as high
an average as four pairs per acre. 1t
seems probable from the data so far
received that the average for the whole
United States east of the plains will
be not more than 1000 pairs to the
square mile, after omitting the land in
corn and potatoes, where there would
be small chances for any birds to nest,
and after omitting also the land COW
cred entirely with forests. 1t has been
found that timber land supports much
smaller bird population than an equal
area of farm land
Apparently the most abundant bird in
the United States east of the Mis-
sissippi river is the robin, with an
average of about fifty pairs to the
square mile, or 10O,0O0,0OO robins in
the eastern United States
