Synopsis
Excerpt from Bird Notes and News, Vol. 8: The Journal of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, 1918-1919
Man slays the insect-destroyers and then wonders at the result, said Edward Newman, the eminent naturalist, years ago. And man is still engaged on the same task and still puzzled by the same results. Still he energetically shoots his soldiers and his police, and still he groans in perplexity over the raids of the burglar and the devastation wrought by the enemy.
There is urgent need for every one who understands the value of birds to become a missionary to the less well-informed; and all readers of Bird Notes and News can assist in enlightening ignorance, helping the food cultivator, preserving the birds, and saving the nation's food, by distributing the leaflet Birds, Insects, and Crops, and by circulating the new Bird Ally postcards published by the Society.
