Tiie subject of bird protection is treated too lightly by the general public and by the law-makers. Tho bird seems so happy us they sing above ub that we seldom reflect that these songsters arc not innumerable, and that, on t. V 'other hand their num<ber 1? rapidly decreasing. It iB significant an well as alarming that 90 per cent of the bird life of this couutry bss been destroyed, and that, at this rate, this will be a birdless land- within five years unless Federal and State authorities step in. and en force laws that will corbel sports men to ceaEo their relentless end nrircIlesB slaughter 6f these feather-, ed friends; thus allowing thctn to multiply. Just here it may be remarked that parents, and teachers in public schools nlav greatly help to save our birds, If they will send a stamped, addressed cnvolope to, tho Humane Society, N. Y., requesting pamphlets on birdi-. These may be vSl In the home and In the school room. Chil dren should be impressed with the fact that birds arc our friends, and that without them we could not live In comfort. "Then, if children pcr pif t in breaking: bp birds' nests, with tho knowledge they bave obtained, they should be punished. If the youth I*of our country were properly inform ed as to the heed for hlrdB, I believe that the task of preserving their lives would be greatly lessened. That Cod created birds as our frlondb Is a fact accepted, rfbt only through faith In Mb creative wis dom, but also from results of inves tigation. It has been estimated the warring insects Cause farmers of the United StatSB an annual loss of over one billion to fifty million dollars. Eastward moves \\c little post, and only time and the course our people pursue wiil determine the outcome. But why all this useless loss of money? Becaueo tportsincn have nearly exterminated the quail and prairie chicken, the natural enemies Of the boll weevil. The quail. was cIbo * great f protection to wheat growaro, but limiter and-rine have done their deadly work; and, as a result, v/Ucat grcwers or middle and eastern States lose millions of dollars annually.

"The real-, true facts, summed Up In a nutshell are as follows: The touth is the front yard of the nation when it comes to our relations with Latin-America and the use. of the Panama canal. "Now what is the condition of this front yard? Thousands of acres un cultivated. Resources of nil kinds ly ing dormant. WHY? Because we niUst have more people and more capital. When I say more people. I do not mean ail classes of people. We are proud to say the south is the home of the Ang?e-'Saxon race.

Net H?ti?fnei?ry Preseal Season Daring Pendieton.?A significant fact in Qoft?ecUu? with iast year's cotton j crop in this section, is the. very no f<"C"'ile decrease in the production of the long staple grade. Many of loose farmers who planted the low country or long Htaplo grade, explain thlB situation in this way. About four years ago a number of cotton mill men, notably Lewis Parker, of Green ville, strongly urged through speeches and otherwise, tho planting of the long- sttpl? grade in preference to the short staple, because, they said It co?ta ne as easily and cheaply crown in this section ns the latter, and. that the farmera. wc ui<! he guaranteed a top notch price?a price far in ex cess of that ta >bo received""for the short staple. Aa a result many, farr nier- r.l?nto/t tof ? ?r/^t\a n <hc l???5? staple and were successful?but?they could get but very little over the price paid for short staple. : Hence, v. ar before last there was a decreaso lu the production of the long staple, while lost year there was a very no ticeable decrease This year, the lar gest fatmers in this section, who have heretofore given special attention to the long staple product, have stated that they are done with it and will plant.th.? short ?tante froia ad'iv an.
