BY RACHEL CARSON

Over increasingly large areas
Of the United States. spring
now comes unheralded by the
return Of the birds, and the
early mornings are strangely
silent where once they were
filled with the beauty Of bird
song.
This sudden silencing of the
song Of birds, this obliteration
of the color and beauty and in
terest they lend to ou- world
have come about swiftly. in
sidiously, and unnoticed by
by those whose communities
are as yet unaffected.
To millions Of Americans. the
seasons first robin means
that the grip Of winter is
broken. Its coming Is an event
reported in newspapers and
told eagerly at the breakfast
table. And as the number Of
migrants grows and the first
mists of green appear in the
woodlands, thousands Of people
listen for the first dawn chorus
of the robins throbbing in the
early morning light. But now
all Is changed. and not even
the return Of the birds may
be taken for granted.
The survival Of the robin,
and indeed Of many other
species as well, seems fatefully
linked with the American elm,
q tree that is part Of the his
tory of thousands Of towns
from the Atlantic to the Rock
les, gracing their streets and
their village squares and COL
lege campuses with majestic
archways Of green.
Birds Are Victims
Now the elms are stricken
with q disease that afflicts
them throughout their range, a
disease so serious that many
experts believe all efforts to
save the elms will in the end
be futile. It would be tragic to
lose the elms, but it would be
doubly tragic If. in vain efforts
to save them, we plunge vast
segments Of our bird popula-
tons into the night of extinc-
ton. Yet this is precisely what
Is threatened.
The so-called Dutch elm dis
ease entered the United States
from Europe about 1880 in elm
burl logs imported for the
veneer industry. 1t is fungus
disease; the organism invades
the ACKNOWLEDGING vessels of
the tree. spreads by spores car
ried in the flow of sap, and
by its poisonous secretions as
wen as by mechanical clogging
the branches to wilt and
the tree to die. The disease is
spread from diseased to healthy
trees by elm bark beetles.

these birds not only make
them especially vulnerable to
insect sprays but also make
their loss a deplorable one for
economic as well as less tan
gible reasons.
Various scientific studio s
have established the critical
role of birds in insect control
in various situations. Thus.
woodpeckers are the primary
control of the Enge1m q n n
spruce beetle, reducing its pop
ulations from IS to SO per cent
and are important in the con-
troll of the cooling moth in APP
pie orchards. Chickadees and
other winter-resident birds can
protect orchards against the
cankerworm.
But what happens in nature
is not allowed to happen in
the modern, chemical-drench
world. where spraying destroys
not only the insects but their
principal enemy, the birds. To
the public the choice may cas-
lily appear to be one Of start
black-or-white simplicity: Shall
we have birds or shall we have
elms? But 1t is not as simple
as that, and by one Of the from
les that abound throughout the
field of chemical control we
may very well end by having
neither If we continue on our
present, well-traveled road.
Spraying Is killing the birds
but it is not saving the elms.
The illusion that salvation of
the elms lies at the end of a
spray nozzle is a dangerous
will-o'-the-wiSp that is leading
one community after another
into a morass of heavy expen-
ditures, without producing last
ing reaults.

the university campus had lost

of them victims Of Dutch elm

In Toledo, Ohio, q similar
experience caused the Superin-
tendent Of Forestry. Joseph A.
Sweeney, to take a realistic look
at the results Of spraying.
Spraying was begun there in
1858 and continued through
1859. Meanwhile, however, Mr..
Sweeney had noticed that q

cottony maple scale was worse

In the city of Toledo, he found,
"the only areas under any con-
troll were the areas where we
used some promptneSs in re-
moving the diseased or brood
trees. Where we depended on
spraying the disease was out of
control. In the country where
nothing has been done the dis

it has in the city. This indi-
Gates that spraying destroys

I'VE are abandoning spraying
for the Dutch elm disease. This
has brought me into conflict
with the people who back any
recommendations by the
United States Department of
Agriculture but I have the
facts and will stick with them"
1t is difficult to understand
why these midweStern towns,
to which the elm disease spread
only rather recently. have so
unquestioningly embarked on
ambitious and expensive spray
ing programs, apparently with
out waiting to inquire into the
experience Of other areas that
have had longer acquaintance
with the problem.
