CONSERVATION IN MARYLAND
A BULwARK AGAINST STARVATION

A BULWARK AGAINST STARVATION
This is the fourth of a series of
articles on the need of conservation
in Maryland, published under the
auspices of the Maryland Wild Life
Protective Association at this time
with a view of having some of the
defects remedied by the passage of
adequate conservation laws at the
present session of the State Legis-
lature.
Birds stand between US and starva-
ton through the ravages of insects.
There are but IA, 900 species of the for
mer as against some 100000 species
of the latter, but if man is hands off
the birds can hold the hungry millions
down. Under control the function of
insects in the world is as big as their
numbers. They carry pollen from
blossom to blossom, and so get plants
fertllized and propagated The doctrine
of botany Is that flowers, with their
wonderful endowment of color, perfume,
nectar and form are only tricks to win
insects visitation. But out from con-
troll insects constitute mans greatest
earthly menace. Through extension of
cultivated areas and reduction in bird
population, we have disturbed the bal
ance. Insect depreciation is now a
major concern. In it's year book for
1904 the Department of Agriculture
published the following estimate of the
annual loss occasioned by the destruc.
tive insects in the United States:

Remarkable Declaration Re-
sists Aggression Of BaIligerents
AMERICAN REPUBLICS JOIN
Five Principles Set Forth Based on
Rights of Existence and Indepen-
dence-Bearing On 5elgium-Vio-
Iation Seemingly Condemned.

Washington.-A Declaration of the
Rights OF Nations, applying to the
countries of the world the principles
Of human rights set forth in the Am
erican Declaration of independence,
has been prepared by the American
Institute OF International Law, which
is composed of 105 members-fve
from each of the twenty-one American
republics. The institute, which re-
Gently has taken on an almost official
character, with Secretary of State
Lansing and two ex-Secretaries of
State on the delegation from the
United States, drafted the declaration
during the recent sessions OF the Pan
American Scientific Congress here.
The declaration, as made public by
DR.. James Brown Scott, president OF
the institute, chairman Of the Joint
Neutrality Board of the State and
Navy Departments, and secretary Of
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace, sets forth five inter
national principles, two of which seem
to have a direct and significant bear
ing on the events of the war in Eu-
rope. The first declares that every
nation has the right to exist, but is
not justified in defending this right
at the expense OF innocent and I'M
offending states" The other declares
that every nation entitled to a right
by the law of nations is entitled to
have that right respected and protect
ed by all other nations" The first
seems to condemn the German inva-
sion OF Belgium. The second is held
in some quarters to imply that all the
nations OF the world should have raj
lied to Belgium's protec..on.
The importance Of this declaration
OF principles lies in the fact It repre-
sents the opinion Of the most eminent
authorities Of the q republics of the
Western Hemisphere. Among the five
American representatives in the insti-
tute are Eihu Root and Secretary

Insects are possessed of prodigious
fecundity and voracity. Given a free
hand, a pair of Colorado potato beetles
would in one season be the progenitors
of over 100000 and they are slow
coaches compared with plant lice. There
are larva which in "a hours will con-
sumo 200 times their original weight.
If an infant did as much he would eat
1900 pounds his first day, or # he grew
like some caterpillars he would weigh
40 tons at maturity. Against them
nature has. aside from disease and the
elements, two regulative agencies:
First, birds; second, predacious and
parasitic insects. Some insects feed on
others, but it is insectivorous birds
that act as the primary check. They

To maintain such hot fires of life, great
quantities of food are required, and for
assimulating it they have enormous
capacity.

The woodpecker's function is the pro-
lection of trees, especially those of the
forest. His beak is chisel and with it
he drives into wood after boring insects,
while his long barbed tongue drags them
forth. Damage to trees is confined to
one species-the yellow-bellied sap
sucker. Woodpeckers (this includes
fickers) stay with US all winter. living
on eggs of insects picked out of the
bark The Maryland statute dealing
with this genus is a joke, the sapsucker
being fully protected, while the word
"woodpecker" does not appear.

them, however, but metes out merciless
persecution, for they are grand targets
