Show AUDUBON ASSOCIATION TO HEAD ECONOMIC MOVEMENT. As the result of recent appeals from farmers, orchardists, cotton growers and ranchmen in every ev-ery section of the country, a widespread campaign cam-paign is being instituted in New York for the protection of every American species of insect-eating insect-eating bird. During the coming year renewed efforts will bo put forth in every state in the union by tho National Association of Audubon societies, which will head the movement, to obtain protective protec-tive legislation for tho native birds as well as hotter onforcomont of such existing laws as the Audubon workers have succeeded in having placod on the statute books. If sufficient support is forthcoming forth-coming from tho agrarian interests affected by the insect pests, which tho birds hold in check, it is hoped to make this a great economic as well as sentimental campaign. |
