Birds’ Service To Man
“The service that birds perform in protecting woodland trees, writes E. H. Forbush, State Etomologist of Massachusetts , “is more nearly indispensable to man than any other benefit they confer on him. . . . Were the natural enemies of forest insects annihilated, every, tree in our woods would be threaened with destruction, and man would be powerless to prevent the calamity. “Yet this herculean task is ordinarily accomplished as a matter of course by birds and other insectivorous creatures, without trouble oi expense to man.”
