Destruction of Birds in California by Fumigation of Trees. By A. B. 

 Howell. — Orange trees are treated at night with hydrocyanic acid gas to 

 kill the black scale. Under 200 fumigated trees 92 dead birds were found 

 the next morning. This would mean 360,000 dead birds per year in the 

 state, which the author considers slightly in excess of the actual number 

 sacrificed. A little care in dislodging roosting birds would prevent the 

 slaughter.
