The Audubon
and I
The help of the individual citizen is
a necessity in the Audubon scheme.
The work of every government in the
world rests ou the same necessity.
The tendency of mankiud is toward
democracy, aud it is not difficult to
understand that in the process of making
mankind democratic the citizen
should rise to a higher conception of
duty and emerge on a broader plane of
usefulness.
The individual member of the Audubon
Society is the up.it of the organization.
This being understood, tbe work of
saving the birds and tbe reasons therefor
may be discussed. Of course one
must understand that all Audubon
work is based on the work of the Bio
logical Survey at Wasmngion, auu iu
a few words tbe Biological Survey
may be explained. As its name imv
plies, its work embraces a survey and
an investigation of the various forms
of life on the Americau continent and
their distribution, suc'h as birds, animals,
fish, and so on. But in 1885 Dr.
(J. Hart Merriam, with oue assistant,
bejjan the work of investigating the
relations of birds to agriculture. The
present division of the department of
agriculture known as the Biological
Survey, has grown out of that modest
beginning.
The food of birds, and of families of
birds, is determined from a scientific
examination of the bird's stomach.
The exact proportion of insects, graias
and fruits that make up a bird's diet is
thus fixed with absolute accuracy.
The stomach of each bird examined is
kept as a voucher.
The work had not proceeded far before
it was discovered that agriculture
was largely dependent on the work of
birds, for they alone were able to keep
nksnb t It u VinrrluQ f\f illMPftH that
threatened every living plant with destruction.
It was seen also that certain
hawks and owls were valuable because
their food consisted principally
of meadow mice, and these rodents
create havoc iu fruit and grain sections
throughout the country. To kill a
bird whose principal food consisted of
meadow mice was to turn loose untold
thousands of these little animals on
the crops of the country. One hawk,
known as Swainson's Hawk, is said to
save $100,000 a year to the farmers of
the West.
The United States was a pioneer in
the work of investigating the relation
of birds to agriculture. Since the Biological
Survey began *s work all the
leading countries of the world have
taken up similar work and governments
are devoting time and care to a
patient study of the facts of the case.
Just a little before the Biological
Sin-vow Kotron ito wonderful work the
Audubon Society took up the lask of
preserving the song and insect birds of
America from total destruction. The
society's first labor was the stopping
of the slaughter of herons for their
plumes. This was undertaken piy ely
from motives of humanity. It was
revolting to the best minds and hearts
of the country that one of the most
beautiful birds of the shore line should
be sacrificed on the altar of woman's
vanity. It was pointed out that the
white heron bore the plumes known a?
aigrette plumes, osprey plumes, and so
von, only during the nesting season,
and that the plumes were borne by the
mother bird only. She had two, and
but two, plumes. These plumes were
long enough for taking when the new
herons were about half grown. Hence
to got two plumes the mother and her
four or five young had to be sacrificed.
Pictures1 were shown of acres of dead
herons?all mother birds? and pictures
of scores of nests with the young
herons dead or dying of starvation.
This ended heron slaughter to a great
extent at once, and women refused to
wear the feathers when they understood
what It cost to get them in blood
- - it--i
ana siaugtuer, oioce iu?i w?s uuuc
the Biological Survey has discovered
that the white heron is a valuable bird
because of its destruction of meadow
mice and many harmful Insects.
The work of the Biological Survey
of course gave the Audubon Society a
powerful and unanswerable argument
for preserving the birds. The very existence
of the country depended on
saving the birds.
Examples could be multiplied to
prove this, but a few of the most striking
cases must suffice. In Kansas,
crop after crop was destroyed by grasshoppers.
The Kansas farmer was
passing into the bands of the Eastern
money-lender and riotous scenes ensued.
It is not too much to say that
Kansas was on the verge of civil war.
Somebody foiind out that turkeys ate
jrrasshoppero with relish and the rais
ing of turkeys began everywhere in
the State. The effect was magical.
Kansas is the largest shipper of turkeys
in ttie world to day and no more
crops are being lost through visitations
of grasshoppers.
The experience of Texas with the
Mexican boll weevil ia recent history.
The scientists of the world went there
to fight the insect which was menacing
the entire cotton industry with destruction.
They could do nothing and
said so, except to bring in the famous
Central American ant as a forlorn
hope. The ant ate the weevil, but not
in quantities sufficient to make auy
considerable difference. When hope
was expiring the bullbat took a band,
and the boll weeyil was speedily re
duced to a point where he was no more
v a menace. In fact, every whera in the
State where the bullbatisat all numerous
the boll weevil has been wiped
out. The cbacalaca and the killdee or
ring-neck plover also helped in the
cause, but nothing did so much as the
bullbat. The pointing out of this fact
has been a revelation, and the State ot
Texas now sternly forbids the killing
of bullbats under heavy peualties.
The eggs are being bought and the attempt
is being made to hatch them
out in incubators.
The annual damage done by insects
to the forests of the country is estimated
by the Biological Survey atOne
Hundred Million Dollars. Here again
birds do invaluable work, The yellowbilled
cuckoo, or raincrow. as he is
commonly called, is one of the great
destroyers of the tent caterpillar and
of other hairy caterpillars. The bird
eats so many hairy caterpillars that the
hairs stick through the stomach and
LUaKti lue wuieiue ui 11 iwk jihc a uniibrush.
The woodpeckers also perform
valuable work in destroying borers,
Bawyers and other forest pests. The
golden-winged woodpecker, or yellowhammer,
lives on ants, eating them
daily in great quantities, and hence is
an effectual check on their depreda
tions. The small creepers aud titmice
kilf great numbers of harmful insects.
The experts have time aud ajjaiu declared
that the reforestatiou of the
country is impossible without the
work of birds.
All over South Carolina the beneficent
work of the partridge is manifest,
and one can easily tell where partridges
are scarce by simply inquiring about
\
Society
ts Good Work.
the .depredations of the biHbug. It is
perfectly safe to say that if the billbug
is plentiful the partridge is scarce.
That small grayish-black bug with his
bard bill, like a steel instrument, that
bores into the cornstalk aud deposits
its eggs to hatch into worms aud eat
| out the pith so that the stalk falls over
dead, is a perpetual menace to the
corn crop of the State. The most effectual
enemy of the billbug is the partridge.
Tbe partridge is als? a great
destroyer of cutworms and grasshoppers,
both destructive to crops.
One of the most valuable of the
small birds is the blue bird. This little
fellow will eat his weight in cutworms
every day and the bird is worth
his own weight in gold to the gardener.
The blue bird has been sadly reduced
In numbers, and vigorous measures
for his protection should be insti
tuteu.
Such illustrations of the beneficent
work of birds could be multiplied an
hundredfold. Very little mort can be
done here than to hint at what is the
daily work of the Audubon Society.
In this connection it should be said
that nothing is so discouraging to an
Audubon worker as to be referred to
hunters and fishermen for sympathizers.
The best class of sportsmen, of
course, sympathize with the Audubon
work and support it, but fish and
game are small fractions only of a
great undertaking. Every man in
the country has the same interest in
preserving the birds of his country, or
he should have. In fact he would
have, if he were an educated, thinking
man. To any reflecting person who
will take the trouble to investigate the
work that the Auduben Society is doing,
it will seem childish to say hunters
and fishermen have any greater interest
in preserving birds than has the
average farmer, professional man, artisan,
or other citizen.
The Biological Survey has declared
tho annual Homaoo Hnnn tn thp
LUat IUC auu UUt
crops of this country by insects is in
excess of $700,000,000 (Seven Hundred
Million Dollars)! They said further
only last year that within fifteen years
past, one half of the birds of America
have disappeared. Here are cause aud
effect, strangely and strongly contrasted.
This is the estimate of exact aud
careful scientists, and not the statement
of irresponsible person*.
Solomon said in bis proverbs: "Ab
I the bird by wandering, the swallow
by flying, so the curse causeless shall
I not come." Have we not learned that
! the curse of devastated fields, of with-J
'ered and dying crops, of rivers drying
up with drought and swollen into
! floods, of desolated forests, is not causejless
? x 1
Whereof to make this matter plain
and to the point: it behooves the cit|
izens of the country, men and women,
to rise to the occasion and remedy the
great wrong done to the entire countrv
by the slaughter of its birds. The politician
will not do it ; the State nas
not done it, and the citizen must,
i The appeal can be made only to educated
people?to people who think.
If the hunter and the fisherman have
one selfish reason for wishing to preserve
game and fish, the citizen has a
thousand reasons for preserving the
birds of the country.
Abbeville has a proud and worthy
record. Such an appeal as the Audubon
Society is making must find response
among her citizens. For which
rpaann I am lavini? it before them.
