Jack Miner is the pioneer bird
bander on the continent. He tag
ged his first bird which was n,
duck at his bird sanctuary at
Kingsville in August, 1909, and
was reported shot by Dr. W.
Bray of Anderson, South Carolina,
in January, 1910. His object :n
banding birds is to study thei~
exact migration route. To leam
how they live. To learn how far
they travel. All such informatioiv
is valuable to the country from
an educational and scientific
standpoint.
Re Ducks and Geese
On the duck and goose band :
you will find the letter S or F.
The S stands for Spring and the
F stands for Fall, indicating
which season of the year they
were banded. Also you will find
a number which indicates the
year the bird was banded. Aho
on the duck and goose bands you
will find a verse of Scripture from
the Bible. Jack Miner is in :u>
way a religious fanatic but is :\
sincere believer in the word of
God found in the Bible, so to pass,
the Scripture along to others and
cause others to think more and
read their Bible more, he in this
simple way puts Bible texts on
each band, also where it can be
found in the Bible. The Bible
verse has been invaluable among
the Eskimos and Indians who
shoot the occasional goose as they
take the band to their missionar
ies to get the interpretation of
the Bible verse. The missionary
in turn takes the said verse for
his text on Sunday and all natives
turn out to church to see as thev
say “What God said that time.”
One newspaper gives Jack Miner
credit for “doing more real home
missionary work than any other
kitchen. I Other prize winners in addl
