Ci'.bert Pearson, preslient of t' s Audubon Society of Xorth Carolina, tUrtsed a large audience of tanners e:i3 Interested clUens In tne 'county court house yesterday morning rela tive to the work of the organization ha represents. Mr.' Pearson proved Mmfalf a pleasing speaker and. on thl subject whica appear uptortunatVj to be ao onlntereatlng to so many peo r:, h talked (entertainingly an lrutruo tively for a considerable time, Ht first remarks were of a general nature on the r economic value of birds to the agricultural interests of the State. , His roost Interesting comment were along the line of the value of the bird eommony known as Bob White, which he declared to b neither a partridge nor o.uail but one scientifically . dis tinct; "m ; either ; of these. He Uld down' the broad proposition" that this variety nf birds was infinitely mora val uable alive , than dead, and to the proof of this statement he cited a number , of facta-;? ;-;-;.. yy'My., "TV. UK TJCTVt im nitniMi Am stroyer of insects." ald the speaker. "It Is one of 43 kinds that feed on the cotton boll weevu which is so de structive la the deep regions of the eot ton-prodocing area. In many places where thla varitey of birds Is abund ant tbe fanners are saved the expense of using parts green to protect their potatoes, so thoroughly do the bird rid the fields of the bugs which pest tne plants. . As a destroyer of the chinch-bug which is death to wheat, the Bob White- has no eaual. The farmers who have haen ' plagued 1 by this kind of a bug and noticed bow quickly they disappear before a covey of birds know, the truth of this Ute inenfc4,HvA'"..; Tho Bob White is valuable,' in the second place, from the fact that It la saleable for prepogatlnr purposes on game reserves. They are worth as much as fi per dozen for this purpose,- Recently the authorities of the State of Pennsylvania asked permis sion to ship 10,000 birds from North Carolina to that Stats for purposes of propogatlon, offering; to pay the farm, ere t per dosen. I refused to grant this petition after a consultation with Governor Glenn, it being agreed that of was unwise to spare that number of birds from North Carolina. I believe that . much money could be made by the farmers by raising these birds in eaptlvlty and for the simple purpose r,1 , niacin 'm tim ' on the market (or uses of propogatlon. ; -: -vv-; ' - "These birds have been enhanced In value by leasing shooting rights -. On Itnif to resident and non-resident shooters.? The taxes on about tOO.000 acres of land in Guilford county are annually . paid by men from they North who come down and purchase the privilege; of hunting on these lands, 4 1 As these hunters pay the farmers' taxes,; the farmers In tum are placed In a position more readily to veto for special taxes for school purposes and' In this waysthe eattce of education is materially : advanced, At result of leasing lands, keeping pit local hunters and feeding the birds dur ing the winter, the birds become much more puiiuiii on vl ihu ieaoi than on those not given the protec tion, and where no special effort Is made to feed them, ; "The income of the State Audubon ' Society annually amounts to fs.OCO from the sal of licenses to non-resident hunters. From fees and con tribution made by tbe members, $3,000 Is dwlved ' Mr, : Pearson placed especial empha sis upon the ; fact that the income from the sale of licenses would be much . (Tester if the SDortsmen would exert Jhelr influences in seeing to its that every non-resident who "nunted to their own knowledge without a li cense should be dealt with, and made to pay like other folks. He referred to the fact that a num. her of sportsmen from Charlotte es ' raped the regulations of the Audubon Society by going to South Carolina and hunting there under disguise, In r some instances, without paying the hunting lioense. He characterized such conduct as this as unbecoming the real aportmen who are down on the pot-hunters and who are desirous f seeing the work of tfie society . tBrti..W' want," aald he, "to make everybody feel that the law is that it is not -intended for some poor ignorant negro, but for all alike." Mr, Pearson has Just begun an agt tatlon throughout North Carolina in behalf of a law Which he wishes . recommended to the Legislator to make every hunter pay a State license of az except tu ian-ownr. This "law .-would be primarily intended for. , ,1t. IaIIawm .Via in, u. ed that he had yet to find his first , mas Who would oppose such a meas ure. This' kind of a law now exists in 11 States in, the Union and it is , working; with wonderful success and - there is yet no signs of Its repeal .
