VOLUNTEERS ASKED
FOR TO MAKE A COUNT
OF BIRDS IN COUNTRY

Washington, d. c., April 1S.-The
third annual bird count of the United
States will he made by the Bureau of
Biological Survey of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture during the breed
ing season in May and June. In max
ing this survey the Bureau will rely
largely on persons interested in bird
life who agree to act as volunteer emu
merators and count the different kinds
of birds found in 40 or so acre farm
or woodland tract near their homes.
The counts thus made by unpaid OBJ
servers during the last two summers
have furnished to the Department val
liable data on the character number,
and distribution OF the bird popula-
ton.
This year the ornItholoeists of the
Re artment wish particularly to Sc
cure a large number of volunteers in
the West to rerort on the bird life in
the plains. the semiarid regions, the
deserts. the mountains in that part
OF the United STATES. Especi / at.
tention also is to lie given TO securing
data as to the birds in the fruit dis
tricts of the Pacific coast and in the
South Atlantic and Gulf States.
Those wishing TO take part in the
survey can obtain complete instruc.
tons by writing TO the Bureau of Bio.
logical Survey. Z. s. Department of
Agriculture. Washington. d. C. The
work. however. calls for considerable
knowledge Of birds. and only those
who can rea lily distinguish the diff
ferent kinds should undertake to make
returns for their localities.

SPRINGTIMe IMPROVE
MENTS At CHANDLER

The town officials OF Chandler de-
serve credit for economic management
as well as for improvements made and
contemplated. The principal streets
have been surfaced with gravel The
school grounds have had trees planted
and circular grass plot laid out on
them. The town trustees held spec-
ial session previous 10 the April cleo
tlon and voted to reappoint the town
officials then acting in their various
capacities thus saving the expense
of an election. They are also figur-
ing ON contracts for cement tile to
lay across streets and street cross
ings and to properly drain the same
in wet weather. Special speed limit
signs are being painted and will be
placed at approaching roads leading
into the town. The sidewalks have
also received their share of Inn
provements and most OF citizens are
out stripping themselves to have the
best lawns and gardens.
The same plan will be in effect this
year ms last at Chandler. Three priz-
es will be awarded to the private
citizens for the best kept lawns and
gardens:
First prlze-$2500.
Second prize $500.
Third prize--si0.00.
The private grounds and gardens
are baginning to show the result OF
this incentive.

FLOODING ROADS
WILL Be STOPPED

Efforts will be made by the state
highway commission TO prosecute far
mers and other residents of the vari-
GUS counties in the state for allowing
he public highways to be flooded by
irrigation bitches. Frequent reports
have reached the state highway office
complaining of the flooded condition
OF the roads
Notices have been sent to the coun-
ty commissioners of the various coun-
ties asking that they take an active
interest in bringing about the prose
cution of the vioiators OF the law by
allowing their bitches to overflow and
food the roads.
The counties and the state expend a
large sum of money yearly in an at
tempt to better the transportation
facilities. but according to T. c. Ehr-
hart. state highway commissioner the
money is wasted on account of the
carelessness OF the persons who allow
the highways to be flooded and the
roads washed out.
The county commissioners have
been asked to create a public senti-
ment in the counties against this prac-
tice and have been urged to prose-
cute all persons who are guilty of
flooding the public highway.
