Many of our members have bird gardens i6 by i6 feet, planted to millet, 

 sorghum, sunflowers, etc., for winter use of our birds. At the bird golf head- 

 quarters we have an acre and a half planted to feed for birds. We estimate 

 twenty-five birds to the acre around our homes and especially around the club 

 house. This coming winter we hope to make it fifty birds to the acre, by 

 attracting more of the resident birds, and many immigrants that usually 

 winter further south. — John Warren Achorn, President. 



HOME OF THE SAND HILL BIRD CLUB OF PINE BLUFF, N. C. 



Saratoga (N. Y.) Bird Club. — Our meetings have been held monthly, 

 omitting July and August. Two were planned for out in the country. The 

 following subjects were presented at the meetings: 'Bird Houses and Folding 

 Trays;' 'Organized Work for Protection of Bird-Life;' 'The Burrough's Me- 

 morial Association;' 'The Ways of the Four-footed;' and 'Songsters of the 

 Swamp.' 



In April the annual public lecture was given. We were most fortunate in 

 having Dr. Arthur A. Allen, who spoke on 'What Birds Are Doing for Man.' 

 At our annual election, in June, the Program Committee was enlarged to ten; 

 each member is held responsible for one meeting. — (Miss) Caroline C. 

 Walbridge, Secretary.
