A BIRD CENSUS
 NEXT IN ORDER
Uncle Sam Proposes To Find Out Whether Game And In- sectiverous Birds Are
 Increasing.
Inited Press Service.

United Press Service.
 Washington, D. C., June 10.- A bird census of the United States is the latest suggestion from the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The counting should begin this month and every bird lover of the country is invited to assist.
 In the announcement the De- partment says: "The object is to determine how many pairs of birds of each species breed with in definite areas, and by compar- ing these figures with those Of subsequent censuses it will be possible to ascertain whether the present state and federal laws are effective and game and insectivorous birds increasing or diminishing in numbers. Volun- tary observers are relied upon to furnish most of the desired data to the department"
 The first step of the Depart ment was to ask 250 of it's cor respondents to act as census a. gents in different localities. They will select their trained observ- CTS and, following an outline of information furnished by the Department, will take the cen- sus.
 Correspondents will be asked to select fairly representative territory in their localities and to note, among other things, the kinds of and pairs of birds ac- tually nesting within a restrict ed plot, and the census takers are i warned not to include birds which come into that territory simply for breeding purposes. Each correspondent is asked to go out early in the morning to count the male birds-for that is the hour they do most of their singing. Suffrage is to bear no part in the bird count ing, however, for the Depart ment has decided that after migration is over and the birds are settled in their summer quarters ''it is safe to consider that each male represents 8 pair"
