TAINTED POLITICS

ject to the attention OF the business
men of Georgia and arouse them to the
need of their urging such action on the
schools, and of giving their co-opera
alton to each phase of the campaign
for bird protection. Prof. r. j. H. De-
Leach, director of the Georgia Ex-
pertinent Station, has asked the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce to appeal to
the chambers of commerce, business
men generally and women's clubs of
the state to endorse and aid the work
of organizing in the schools. Prof. De-
Loach said:
"A careful survey by the United
States biological survey shows that
birds are an important factor in the
control of insect pests and noxious
weeds. Reports recently published
SHOW Thai CSItdIn llStCL ptSIS are dI-
most, if not entirely, controlled by
certain species of birds. A bank
swallow in Texas has devoured 6S cot
ton bill weevils. Thirty-fve cliff swaI-
lows had taken an average of Is boil
weevils each. A tree swallows stom-
ach was found to contain 40 cinch-
bugs and fragments of many others,
besides other species OF insects. This
bug comes n great swarms and COM
pletely destroys young grain in spring,
and goes to the corn fields later A
kildee's stomach taken in November
in Texas contained over 300 mosquito
larvae. A yellowhammer's stomach
contained more than 20 white grubs.
The white grubs destroys corn and va
rious garden crops to the amount of
many millions of dollars each year"
Over fifty species of birds are
known to eat the boil weevil, and the
common quail, or Bob White, eats 135
species of insects. There is hardly a
species of bird that has not in it's diet
some insect pest and noXious weed
seed, and certainly every insect has it's
bird enemy. Nature has provided that
birds shall keep insects from destroy
ing all forms of plant life on the globe
To have birds about our farms and gar
dens, we must encourage them and
provide nesting places for them"
Along with the organization of
classes in the schools, local Anrubon
societies will be formed in all of the
larger communities all over Geor-
gia.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 1.-THE
simple facts regarding the growth 81
the iron and steel industry in the
United States are more fascinating
than fiction and true description of
the methods and the machinery which
are in daily use for charging crude ore
into the thousand and one finished
forms in which iron and steel are used
in our modern civilization reads like
fairy tale.
Few people realize haw greatly the
development of this colossal industry
in our country has depended on water
transportation. The fact that for
many years the United States has led
the world in the manufacture of iron
and steel is due, first of all, to the
quantity and quality of the iron ores
placed by nature in the Lake Superior
region, and next. and scarcely second
in importance, to the cheap transporta-
ton for this ore which was, and is,
furnished by the Great Lakes.

Georgia Audubon Society Has
Bugun Fight to Saue Birds
Great Enemy of Boil Weeuil

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov 1.-THE Geor-
gia Audubon society, which was or
ganized by one thousand teachers at
the University Summer school at Atl-
ems, last July, declares that the bird
is the greatest natural enemy of the
boil weevil and is the only agency de-
structive to the weevil only by
who can destroy the weevil only by
hand picking the insects or burning
the cotton stalks. Also, birds, by eat
ing the seeds, prevent the country be-
ing over-run by noxious weeds.
The society is planning to organize
Audubon Junior classes in all of the
public schools of Georgia. To hasten
this work as defense against the boil
weevil, which has already invaded over
thirty counties in Georgia, M t.
bHattain, state superintendent Of
schools, has sent a Glitter to every
county school superintendent on the
state insisting on the organization Of
Audubon Junior classes in every
school.
1T is true" says Mr., Britain, that
what birds stand for in nature is not
appreciated sufficiently by the ma
j0rity of people, and we believe thai
the most efficient way of intoxicating
appreciation "a me practical value of
birds, as we'll as their artistic worth
IS for the study of bird life to be TAX
children, whose minds are in the for
native stage. Georgia should have or
ganized an Audubon society and be-
gun this work long ago. Had the pro-
lection of birds been as far advanced
N Georgia as in some other states, the
loss that Georgia will suffer from the
boil weevil would be greatly lessened,
to say nothing of damage from many
insect pests and from the spread Of
weeds. The Audubon Junior classes
are designed to give instruction to
boys and girls on the relation of bird
life to agriculture and horticulture,
and through these pursuits to the en-
tire economy of human life, as we'll as
t. inspire appreciation of the wonders
and beauties of bird life"
For beginning this work in the
schools of Georgia, the National Asso-
citation of Audubon societies has given
the Georgia society $500. To visit the
schools and assist in organizing the
junior classes, the society has en-
gagged Mrs. A. P. Taylor. of Thomas
Vile, who has studied the subject of
bird protection, and who lives in the
section of Georgia already infested
by the boil weeyil where the danger
is now appreciated by both farmers
and business men. The State Board
O. Entomology and the state game and
fish commissioner have pledged their
cooperation in every way in getting
information to the people about the
destructiveness Of all insects and the
great effect of birds in the control ii
these pests. 1t is proposed by DR.,
Joseph s. Stewart that the Audubon
work be made part of the course Of
the University of Georgia Summer
school
It has been found in Massachusetts,
Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA and New York
where the work of organizing the jun
ior classes was begun long before
Georgia had an Audubon society, that
the schools fail to carry out the plan
unless encouraged by the business men
and women's clubs. To bring the sub
