The sight Of those countless

I'm sure our biologists. with
their busy Thermometers and

ied In watching Joe work.
Still. they might have read ef

a killer of game. Maybe that's
where they got their idea Of Kill.

I can see him in minds eye
now, standing there with un-

hunk of chawin' terbaccer in his

his destructive skill.
''Thassa way TO get nsn,

However, when you come to

Joe didn't have many others IN

Yep, think these new
methods will be rs bad as Joe
ever was, my friends.

BuLIoN.OoLLAR BIRD

" HE Peruvian cormorant is the
most valuable of all birds -
both in dollars and cents and in
terms of human life and geography.
What he does is to produce the finest
fertilizer known to man. Way back in
the dawn of history the ancient Peru
vians enacted rigorous edicts for his
protection because it enabled the
Incas to extend their cultivated fields
far over naturally arid wastes.
Along the coast of Peru are islands
where the birds congregate in untold
millions. Three species are virtually
responsible for the guano industry.
The white-breast cormorant is most
important, but the big gray pelican
and the whitehead gannet also do
their share. Actually. guano is thirty
three times as effective as barnyard
manure.
Up to about l840 the beds were
almost unknown to the foreign world
and the deposits represented the
accumulation of thousands of years.

But in l843 a "guano craze" infected
Europe. The islands we're surrounded
by vessels. fifty or more at time,
and it is estimated that between 1851
and 1872 ten million tons were ex-
tracted from one small group of
islands. A single island was lowered
more than hundred feet through the
removal of its thick crown of guano.
The Peruvian government heavily
mortgaged the deposits to pay for
public Improvements, and the beds as
well as the birds themselves were re-
duced in alarming degree. Now. how
ever, the National Guano Admins
tIation has been formed and this val
liable public wealth is supervised in
thoroughly modem manner. The
future of Peruvian agriculture and
industrial life is so closely linked with
the guano deposits that think the
cormorant can hold his own with any
other claimant to the title of the most
valuable bird in the world.
