FRIZES FOR BIRDS’ EGGS.
Orchardists are aware of the depredations to fruit by thrushes and blackbirds. These imported pests render it almost impossible to gather a crop of cherries or finer fruits. They attack almost everything in the orchard and garden. The orchard robber is only a circumstance compared with havoc of these birds. . Numbers of people have been so disheartened through the damage wrought by the bird nuisance, that they have let their orchards fall into neglect. Mayor Gower has offered three guineas to the local Horticultural Society to
be divided into three prizes for the boys who can exhibit the largest collection of blackbird and thrushes’ eggs at the forthcoming Show, As it is the hope of reward that sweetens labour, each local boy should do his best to secure one of the Mayor’s prizes. If he doesn’t secure a prize he will still have the satisfaction —not of breaking his arm—but of rendering a service to orchardists, who should reward him in due season.
