During tho war there were stories OF

But the main interest in this matter
of the relations OF wild birds and air
craft lies in the possibility of estab-

migrations. Here is something worth
thinking about and something to
watch with the liveliest interest as air
traffic is developed. 1t would be easy
to turn on an enterprising imagination
and argue that the annual Journeys
of most migratory birds will be So
troubled by aircraft that migration
will be largely discontinued. Then one
could go on to show how agriculture
