PROTECT The B|Rps; THEY
DESTROY INSECT PESTS

Last year American farmers lost
81, $50, 900 900 through the depre-
dations of insects, according to
figures compiled by the department
of agriculture. Much of that less
was suffered in the south and re
Gently James Henry Rice, Jr., field
secretary for the National Associa-
ticn of Audubon Societies, which
has its general headquarters in
New York, went to Atlanta to es-
tablish southern headquarters.
Birds of all sorts play an import
ant part. in exterminating insect
pests and because of the estab-
lishment of southern headquarters
for the bird protective organIza-
ton is directly related to the con-
dition of crop destruction. 1t is
estimated by an Atlanta authority
that Georgia alone suffered $4O,-
0O0, 900 crop losses is q result of
insects last year. In. all of the
southern states, especially the cot
ton states, where the boil weevil
still makes q heavy toll on
agriculture, the damage wrought
by insects is constantly increasing.
This is being used as an argument
by the Audubon societies and is
gaining for them loyal support
among southern aRriculturists.
Mr.. Rice says insectivoreus birds
in Georgia consume more than
$50 bushels of insects a day.
Deprived Of the birds protection,
its fields and orchards would be-
come a desert.
The figures given by the
agricultural department do not
represent all of the loss entailed by
insects, however. Many more
millions of dollars r spent in the
campaigns fighting insects and
these expenditures are logically
losses caused by insects. Massachu-
sets is spending 81, 000,0 600 a year
fighting the gypsy and brown tail
moths. 1t is combating them with
fire, ak, sprayed poison and creo-
sote, and still many hundreds of
fine old elm in Massachusetts are
falling each year, and other valu-
able vegetation is dying because of
the insects activities. The same
kind of campaign against other in
sects is being carried on in a score
of states at heavy expenditure and
with pitifully small results. The
Audubon societies argue that the
most valuable and successful cam.
paigners against destructive insects
are birds, and the argument is
getting more game protective laws
