Bird Protection. 



New York, — Persons and organi- 

 zations here who are interested in 

 the protection of migratory and 

 game birds are elated by the ratifica- 

 tion of the treaty between Canada 

 and the United States intended to 

 insure the co-operation of the two 

 countries in bird protection. 



Wm. Thornday. of the New York 

 Zoological Society, and a campaign- 

 ing trustee of the Permanent Wild 

 Life Protection Fund, says the 

 treaty is the most important step 

 ever taken to protect birds. 



"It means," he said, "that virtual- 

 ly 1,022 species and sub-species of 

 our most interesting American 

 birds will be protected from the Gulf 

 of Mexico to the North Pole. 



"It is of prime importance to the 

 farmers, the forest owners, and the 

 fruit growers, since it means that 

 the birds which kill the insects will 

 be conserved."'
