SAVE BIRDS, THEY

 ID FEED BELGIUM
(From New York Eveninq Post)

(From New York Evening Post)
 The crops now destroyed in this country by insect and rodent pests would feed the people of Belgium, ac- cording to T. Gilbert Pearson. secre- tary of the Audubon Societies. who talked of the increased need for the preservation of song birds. with the in creased production of food, and of the renewed campaign which has been be- gun for that purpose. Ten thousand dollars has been raised within the las few weeks for carrying on the work and warning notices are being sent free to anyone willing to post them on theii property, by the roadside in country stores, or elsewhere, calling attention to the law on the subject. and asking people to report violations. These arc printed in English and Italian.
 MT. Pearson said: The war situa tion has resulted in an increased men, ace to bird-life in the United States. There is growing evidence that owing to the high cost of meat and other food staples, Italians and Hungarians in the north and negroes in the south have turned an unusual amount of at- tention to the killing of song birds, and as the war goes on this slaughter will tremendously increase unless checked.
 This is the time when all Audu- bon society members should be par Ticularly alert. The enormously en- larged acreage being put under culti- vation in this country means that the greater crops of succulent plants grains and vegetables will furnish additional food for insect pests. A large per cent of the eggs laid by insects never reach maturity, and one reason for this is lack of food With increased food there will be

Many of these men are already conducting courses of investigation which if carried to successful conclu- sions will result in the discovery of treatments and methods of operation which will be of great use not only in this war but, possibly for years after wards. To carry on their work they need certain special laboratory equip ment, suitable buildings, and animals for experimental purposes. At present, equipment and personnel can not be obtained through ordinary government sources without delay which makes this source of supply quite impractic- able'

 Birds should be fed during the time of the year when their natural food is scarce. More nesting boxes should be placed for them, and drink ing fountains should be provided in dry regions.
