Bureau Of Biology to
Make Third Annual
Count Of Wild Birds

The third annual bird count Of the
United States Will be made by the
bureau OF biological survey Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture during the breeding season in May
and June. In making this survey the
bureau will rely largely on persons in
.erested in bird life who agree to act
as volunteer enumerators and count
the different kinds of birds found In a
forty or eighty acre farm or woodland
tract near their homes. The counts
thus made by unpaid observers dur
ing the last two summers have fur
nished to the department valuable data
on the character, number and distribu-
ton Of the bird population.
This year the ornithologists OF the
department wish particularly to secure
q large number Of volunteers in the
west to report on the bird life in the
plains. the semi-arid regions, the des-
erts, and the mountains In that part
Of the United States. Especial atten-
ton also is to be 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.
The information collected this year
it is believed will be Of special value
in enabling the department to test the
effect Of state and national bird laws
and also in determining what relation
ship exists between bird life and the
prevalence Of locusts, grasshoppers,
and other insect pests in different To-
calities.
As it is impossible to make an ac-
tual count of all the birds In any ex-

asked to report only upon the number
of birds breeding in a selected area or
forty to eighty acres In country or
suburban districts. From the figures
thus obtained, those in charge of the
number Of birds of each kind in differ
ent sections of the country.
Enumerators who wish to report on
birds on farms are asked to choose all
area which includes farm buildings.
shade trees, orchards. plowed land,
pasture or meadow or swamp, but not
very much woodland. The enumerator
begins his survey at daylight some
morning and zigzags back and forth IN
the selected area, counting the male
birds. Early in the morning during
the last of May or. the first week Of
June every male bird should be in full
song and therefore easily counted. The
count of one day is to be verified by
observation on several mornings.
The height Of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work. In the
latitude of Washington May 30 Is
about the proper date for the count. In
the latitude of Boston the work should
begin a week later and south Of Wash
ington even an earlier date should be
selected.
In addition to reports on farms and
suburbs. enumerators who can do so
will be asked to report on the birds IN
a timber area Of about forty acres or
in an isolated bit Of woodland Of from
ten to twenty acres. In the north
eastern states, separate reports on the
number Of Birds found in the wilder
portions Of the farms, preferably those
surveyed in the earlier counts, are de-
sired.

Hoo Prices Legitimate.

It is the consensus of trade opinion
that current hog values are legitimate.
A market that at the inception Of the
winter packing season was on SEQ
$50 basis. has been maintained at a
$9.50@9.S0 level on the heaviest run of
hogs in trade history. Despite this.
packers have not accumulated the meat
piles they expected and at the inception
of the summer packing season they are
short Of everything but lard. a COM
modify that is still handicapped by alb
sence Of the German outlet. The Euro
pean war can not last indefinitely and
when 1t ends, all edible fats will go at
a premium, consequently packers are
not worrying over the lard they are
carrying. The winter hog market has
furnished demonstration that the
swine industry Is on permanent pro-
fitable basis. There may be temporary
depressions, such as occurred last fall
when a short corn crop ,necessitated Ii
quotation of pigs and packers took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. but the

CAR BUYING
is HEAVY

In the nrst two months OF 1916
railroads bought 1880 cars. com
pared with 1856 for the same time
in 1915.
Already in March a total of more
than 5000 cars have been ordered,
and at present time there are at
least 10000 on active inquiry. Or
ders for the frst two months were
at an annual rate OF considerably
more than 100000 cars. This would
represent an outlay of even more
money than was spent in the years
when more than 100000 cars were
bought, due TO the improved types
and higher prices.
Equipment men say the scarcity Of
steel and the high price OF all ma
