One of the particularly valuable and nteresting features of the afternoon n was the address by Herbert K. , of West Haven, state ornithologist. |1t was finely illustrated with views of birds which Mr. Job had taken him- sell. There were about 100 sifdes. Tn introducing the subject the speaker said that through the liberal- fty of a gentleman deeply interested in birds and game and their preserva- tion he was enabled to give an illus- traled_lecture on Value and Profit from Wild Birds on the Farm before the granges of the state. The present lecture is the 25th of the series. About ten more are scheduled for {his spring; There were over 100 applications for this lecture by granges. and the work wil{ be continued mext fall and later. Three Points Explained. Tn these lectures three main points are emphasized: 1. That lirds are essential to agriculture as destroyers of Insect pests. 2. That game birds and wild fowl can be made an actual source of financial revenue on many farms. 3. That birds through their beauty and interest are well worth while. This educational work is being un dertaken among the granges because the people who own the land can do more practical bird protection than any other class, and the grange should become a great factor in this work, as it already is. In the views shown first came vari- ous pictures of familiar birds about home, such as the bluebird, song spar- row. house wren, flicker, phoebe, war- blers, scarlet tanager, hummingbird, etc, and interesting stories were told i COUNTY POMONA General Deputy Howard D. Sykes Here With State Master Sherwood and State Lecturer Blakeman—Talk on Birds by State Ornithologist at Afternoon Session— in connection with them. Their activ- ity as destroyers of insects was em- phasized. For instance, it was shown how the leopard moth larva, which imbeds itself in the innmer bark of the elms, and girdles the limb of the tree, was the main present cause of the de- struction of the elms in our towns and cities, that is, wherever the wood- peckers and _other native birds are driven out. Man can never compete with this pest, only the birds. Following this a few pictures were | shown of sandpipers running on the beach, and other shore birds. Many of these have been nearly exterminat- ed Dby ruthless slaughter of gunners. They are beautiful and useful, and it| is hoped that the new federal legisla- tion, thruogh the Weeks-McLean bil now a law, will -accomplish great good. Raising of Pheasants. Next were shown a series of in- forming photographs of _pheasants, quail, and partridge or ruffed grouse, showing the present encouraging sta- tion of the worls of the artificial pro- pagation of these species. The pro- pagation of pheasants is thoroughly successful and .profitable, even on a large scale. The raising of quail is beginning to show progress and some a initial success. The experiments Storrs have laid the basis for new methods in_ the future, based on the discovery that young quail will stay with a bantam _foster-mother, even under entire liberty. and grow to ma- turity under natural conditions in the open, which solves the problem of artificlal feeding and of unduly close confinement. The problem of the ruffed grouse is more difficult, but photographs of birds raised to matur- ity were shown, proving that under proper conditions it can be done cer- taicly on @ small scale, Many intimate details of game bird propagation meth- ods were glven. Wild Ducks in Manitoba. Lastly were shown a wonderful serles of photographs of wild ducks, both of adults in the wild state and voung being reared. To get sultable stock for breeding hand reared birds, that had never learned wild ways, Mr. Job conducted & government expedi- tion last summer to Manitoba, north- west Canada. In camp he and his son hatched out wild ducks’s eggs of eight kinds in ineubators. The hatch for the season was 82 per cent, of which most were safely brought 2,000 mile; to Connecticut, were raised to matur- ity, and are row being experimented with for breeding this season on the great preserve at Norfolk, Conn., own- ed by_ Messrs. Wolcott and Childs of New York. In Connecticut. It was also shown how, by protec- tion and feeding, many thousands of wild ducks are attracted eact season to another private preserve n Connec- ticut. Methods of attracting and of artificial propagation could be work- ed out togetehr, for increasing bird life by the state, or for private profit. The instance was quoted, on the au thority of Dr. Willlam T. Hernada: where _the Clover Valley club, not far from New York city, raised and sold last season 4500 wild mallards, and cleared $2,000. Wallace Evans of Oak Park, IlI, present owner of a great commercial game farm, 20 years or so agy was a poor boy who had a few pheasant coops _ in a back yard in South Chicago. Today he is reputed to be a millionaire, through breedins game birds and wild water fowl. New York state has gone into breeding pheasants for public distribution. Last ason they raised 5000 young pheas- ants, and by distributing eggs caused the production by the public of 10,000 more. The average cost per pheasant was about 33 cents each, whereas in Connecticut the buying of thousands of foreign birds, which promptly dis- appedred, averaged 34 each. The speaker commended the grange organization for its good work end in- terest in the protection and increase of useful birds, and asked for further co-operation along the line for fur- ther efforts in this state. Frederick M. Johnson of Hickory street is spending the remainder of the week with friends in Palmertown.

Suliivan and CHEAPER TO GIVE AWAY BRIDGE THAN KEEP IT. Says Civil Engineer Preston of Water- bury About Thames River Bridge. communication to the American, Charles H. Preston, Jr., of Waterbury, formerly of | this city,” advances some suggestive | ideas regarding the Thames river | drawbridge and the offer of it to the | state made by the New Haven road Mr. Preston, who is a well known civil ‘engineer, writes in part: President Charles Mellen of the New Haven railroad wishes to present the In a signed Waterbury state of Connecticut or the city of New London with a bridge over the | Thames river at New London, the cost of ~which, during construction 00.- some 20 years ago, was nearly $1 600. That elther state or city do not en- thuse over this proposed gift, which has a tail attached, i. e, that the Co necticut company ‘may at any future time lay its trolley lines over the same, is apparent frem the fact that even though the offer, whether kind or otherwise, and made more t four years ago, Is still pending. Consider the Situation. Now, let us take the bull horns and consi | 21l sides and conditions: While Presi- dent Mellen has apparently very Kind- Iy tendered this bridge, which we must agree weould cost the state from 151,250,600 to $1,500,860 to construct, | that is, as a new highway bridge, let view the condition arising, as wouid Mr. Mellen, in the event that the Lridse is not aecepted. Doubtless the government would de- mand this old structure entirely elim- inated, including old steel work, piers, abutments and old fenders, etc., clear to bottom of river, the same taken away, making the Thames river, at this bridge site, as free from obstru | tion as previous to the erection of the bridge. by the er the situation from Cost of Demolishing. fron and_scrap steel would $18 per ton, while it high as $105 to $112 Scrap net from $12 to may have cost a per_ton, new. Abutments, plers, all masonry and fenders removed to river bottom, dis- regarding previous costs, now worth nothing. Would the total scrap iron and steel price with the tremendous costs of eliminating the old structure meet the total bridge demolishing expen- diture, and would President Mellen prefer to allow the bridge to stand as a gift or assume the demolishing costs? Surely, if the state or _city were to assume the bridge as theirs 2nd then allow the Connecticut com- pany to establish and maintain their tracks across the same President Mel- len would much prefer this method. Opportunity for the State. So far as the reliability and fore- sightedness in the state’s assumption of this highway bridge proposition there can be no alternative but that the adoption of the bridge for high- way purposes is assuredly economical and doubtless another opportunity for bridging the Thames will never pre- sent the many favorable conditions as at present exist in this proposition. It fs also an assured fact that the location of highway approaches both on the west or New London end or cust or Groton end are practicable, the bridge is amply strong, has vears of usefulness for highway the present draw gpan could ba so divided that the New Lendon could be used as a fixed or rigld span | while the Groton half eould be oper- ated as a rolling 1ift or Bascule draw €pan meeting all government require- ments, particularly that of span, 150 feet, more or less. Plan for Alterations. An expenditure of $170,000 would erect a new masonry pier and alter the present draw span as above de- scribed, making in the writer's opin- ion a very economical bridge with its 1,423 feet of length, 38 feet clear height above mean low water and amply wide, and particularly where conditions are much adverse to economical pier and abutment construction, with much wa- ter, sand and river slit to contend with under new construction. With the proposed $1.000.000 harbor improvement appropriation the state | may feel that the present Is an fnop- portune time to assume this added in- debtedness, but, be that as it ferryboat facllities at present at New London are surely antedatcd, the state and city demand this bridge as a public and Immediate necessity and the present time is the time for acquiring the same. New London, situated as it.s direct- Iy on the Atlantic waterfront, would in this event be located on a direct air line for the automoblile travel from all points south to New England via New York and Boston, which wauld not only (s but other develop financial, sources. Go Get That Bridge. Concluding, we must admit the bridge is a notable example of con- | struction. the site naturally adapis it- self to a highway layout. President ellen is protecting his trolley condi- tions and saving thousands of dollars in making this $1,500,000 gift and the state, city and traveling public are procuring a much desired feature of safety and convenience in the noble structure, long since demanded.
