In view of the faot that an Audubon
society is being formed In South Oar

bo know Just how the work of this
organization ls operated elsewhere and
what may be accomplished by the Au
dubon Booloty In this State. Mr. T. G

seen Wedaesday morning at the < ffloe
of the State superintendent of educa
tion, where he has made hlB to m por

dato tuon i, of tho work of the Audubon
socleiy in North Carolina was scoured
Irom him:
"During the year 1002, this soolet}
was' organ a d in that State and
?oneral oil! was made for all persont
interested in the protection of bird;
ind game to beoome members of the
society and contributo il modally tc
its support. When the legislature met
n January following, tho organization
which bad then grown to several hun
Ired member^, was incorporated with
oho powers of a State gi m J cominis
don. The society va* given authorl
&y to solcot game wardens who work
under the di reo tion cf the Auc ubou
-icclety in the enforcement of th?
olid aud game laws.
"A law waa also passed requiring
non re*idont hunteio coming inco the
State to secure a hunter's license at a
cost of $10. Too mouoy received from
(/his source., together with the fees
and contributions of tho members of
the s.c'.oty and friends of tho bird?,
constituted tho inoomo of thosooloty
No Slate appropriation was asked ol
tho legislature! butt the incomo from
oin S3 two sources has amounted tc
about $10,000 annually. With thu
(und, tuo org vui/.ition has been abb

9 the rs per diem.
"Large quantities of educational
lcallot!? bearing on tho value of vari
ous birds to thc agricultural In to ros ts
of the State have been distributed
amoug thc sohool children and others.
D'geits of the game lavss have been
pi luted on cloth notices and tacked
up in conspicuous places throughout
tho State. As an example of tho ex
tent l.o which this educational work
las bjen carried forward, it may b:
stated that during the past year m jr
Mian 2 .)J0,000 pages of printed Infor
matlon were distributed In the State
Phis does nut Include a large numbai
o? circulating libraries of bird aud na

children. "Though tho activities Ol

tho cc crts, Since the last annual re
port, which was Issued lu March, 54
COLvlotions have been secured. Th?
whole idea of tire work ls well rte iv
ed among he people generally, and al
though game ls not as ilfec uallj
protected as could be done if a largo,
tund was at the disposal of the BCOletj
at thc same time, lt must be borne in
mind ttiat what has been and ls he
lng accomplished does not Cjst th?,
taxpayers one ont, with the exjep
ion i f those pac plo who voluntarih
subicrlbe lo the support of the organ
iz i? lon.
"There ls no doubt that tho work
of thc Audubon loclcty ls re pons!ble
for saving the lives of ouuntietS tut us
adds of birds in all s ..nous of tnt
Stale, and all reports go tu ?how tba1
act only birds but deer and other
.rame aro on tho lncrcaso, owing tu
tho vigilance of tills organization.
"Ab jut a year ago the monibers o'
tho society contributed $1,400 for the
bulldiug of a launch, which is usod
Dy tlie game wanlen located near
OJ pe Hatteras, whose special business
it ls to guard thc brcodit.g places of
:hc sea birds during the summ r
months. These valuable and beaut!
ful cioatures had baen nearly i x er
initialed in North Carolina waters,
owing to their wholesale aud systema
tic slaughter by mon who killed tho
birds to get their feathers for the Now

"Tue lieut year of that protection
there wero deposited in the breeding
colonies about 1.700 egg?. .So greatly
did tho birds inorcaSe" from the pro

that the second year about 2,800 eggs
wero lad, >whilo tho past summor,
which is the third year, between 0,

been laid and hatched.
"Tue Audubon societies now pro
tect thc r.ca birds tn their breeding
pbicos along thc coast of evory Atlan
tic Slate except Si uth Carolina and
Georgia, ard lo is very important that
antffjrb bo made to secure wardens
at once for this important region
"Hy means of public speaking, by
thc distribution of llteraturo and the
use of circulating libraries, by oon
slant recourse to the press and by the
vi? i ?ance of Its game wardens, the
Au Uibon society of North Carolina is

a Btcndy decline io tho relative nam

This of itself, hovev3r, ls hold not
to bo proof conclusive of a deollninp
birth rate, as tho dc orease of the num

tatton might ho accounted for by at j
increase lu the average duratlcn o' !

cmg sots without children, llowevei
it wai deemed a fair test to caleulatt
the proportionate Lumber of children

foufd that tho number of chlldrei

was (Kll. la 1090 the proportion otho?
