THE ROYAL TERMS OF ROYAL
SHEAL
BY III. III. Brimley

AS DR.. T. Gilbert Pearson and |
approached the islet of Royal Sheal
on June II, 1889, our glasses pick
ed up a large, compact mass Of white
covering the highest part of the eX-
posed surface. This we knew, meant
Royal Terms, and lots of them.
Bleaching the boat, we slowly APP
preached the mass Of nesting birds
and it was not until we were with
in fifty yards or SO that the bir>.s
began to rise in numbers.
The picture of thousands Of these
birds in the air, each with a wing
feet, with their pearly backs, white
undersides black caps and red bills,
was almost unbelievably beautiful.
Their cries carried no Individual
notes to my defective hearing, the
air seemingly vibrating to a steady,
high pitched scream, with but little
variation in either pitch or volume.
! From a count Of the number of
nests in 100 square feet and a fairly
accurate measurement of the nesting
area the colony was found to con-
sist of about 5000 pairs Of nesting
terms, or about II 600 birds in all
Some nests contained tiny fledg-
ling, but most of them held a single
incubated egg. A few CADETS terms
were scattered among the Royals.
Note: The North Carolina Bird
Club planned three field trips to the
North Carolina coast during 1889
49, The trip to Royal Shoal in June
was not made The trip to Pea Is
land in August was carried out, and
the third trip to Lake Mattamuskeet
in January is still to be made. DR..
c. H. Bostian, State College in Raj
eigh, is the N. C. Bird Club chair
man of field trips.

The Vance County Agricultural
Conservation Association will elect
Township and County Committee
men during the month Of October.
These committeeman will function
in determining 1910 flue-cured to-
baccO allOtments and other allOt-
ments under the 1910 Agricultural
conservation program Great interest
was shown by Vance county farmers
in the recent tobacco referendum
for flue-cured tobacco. 2737 farmers
in Vance county voted with 2544
voting in favor Of a 1910 control
program The administration Of the
program in Vance county wants you
to vote and play your part in the
election of the members of commit
tees. They are not only interested
in your playing part in the selec-
ton of the members, but they want
you to support them 100 percent al
ter they are elected through advis-
ing, cooperating and working with
them. The best and most desirable
persons in your township will not
and cannot efficiently serve unless
thhe farmers Of your township up
hold and support them openly a
gainst unfair criticism and false or
unproven accusations. We know that
a committee cannot be selected that
will make no mistakes, but we also
know that if the leading farmers in
any township advise with their
committee and call their attentions
to the mistakes made that the COM
mitteeS in turn will make every
effort possible possible to make cor
rections. 1t is the spirit Of cooperation
that we are interested in seeing
started as we know that it is only
through these steps that committee
can properly serve the farmers in
their community.
The county agent is usually elected
secretary to the county committee.
Duties Of the secretary are as fol-
lows:
CD Maintain an adequate supply
of official forms required for use
by members of the association;
(2) Certify the results of all cleo
tons held in the county or commune
ties within the county;
CD Give public notice of the des-
