Austin.—From the omnipres-
ent sparrow to the gigantic
eagles of the Big Bend, 700
kinds of birds live in Texas
during all or part of the year.
The state’s bird population at
this season is at least 250,000,-
000, perhaps half again as
large.
And that, as anyone will ad-
mit, is quite a lot of birds. The
average Texan (try it on your-
self), isn’t able to identify
more than fifteen or twenty of
the Hpecies and sub-species,
and it is a rare nature student
who can list offhand more than
70, or one-tenth the total.

models; the some fine cabinet construction;

The human race has come a
long way since primitive times
when it was the custom JL kill
off the old and disabled of both , that ait around in trees, get
i ' ’ ' ‘
bies like so many kittens, anl
in general to c-ompel everybody
to shift for himself regardless
of his needs. It was nobody’s
business w hether a man starv-
ed to death or not, in the bad
old days.
The modern world has been
coming, through the past
thousand years, to a more hu-
mane view of the responsibili-
ties of society to its unfortun-
ates. The parable of the Good
Samaritan, and the other teach-
ings of Jesus Christ, have been
a tremendous influence, even
upon a world which falls far
short of the Christian ideal in
other matters. There is a far
broader recognition of the duty
of everybody to give a helping
hand to the sufferers from dis-
ease or accident, to those who
for any reason other than their
own shiftlessness find them-
selves lacking in the necessi-
ties of life, food and shelter.
We sometimes wonder, how-
ever, whether there is not a
growing tndency to extend this
Christianism too far. We think
it is time to give consideration
to the words of Saint Paul, in
his Second Epistle to the Thes-
salonians: “This we command-
ed you, that if any would not
work, neither should he eat.”
We hear from all sides re-
ports of men and women “on
relief” who refuse to take jobs
that are offered to them, pre-
ferring to live at the expense
of the public rather than to
make an effort to help them:
selves. We hear of others who
quit good jobs to “go on re
lief.” We do not know how
widespread this situation is,
but from all accounts it is pret-
ty extensive.
Nobody should be allowed to
starve in free America, but no-
body who is offered work and
refuses to take it should be
treated as if he had a right to
hold up his head among hon-
est, industrious workers. Such
individuals have thrown away
whatever rights they had, and
ought to be regarded as what
they are, objects .of publ’C
charity, and allowed only the
barest necessities of existence.

But labor’s wrangle with the
NRA and the thirty-hour week,
and wanting pay for sixty
hours a week and the wage
scale don’t bother us old farm-
ers. We know the whole mess
is depending on us for a living
and if we don’t get in about
sixteen hours a day we fear
some of them might not get
in but twenty-nine hours a
week.
Here it is the third day of
June and cold enough for a fire-
and not a stalk of cotton in
sight. If anybody wants to do
anything about it they are at
liberty, but just think how it
will be this fall not to have to
pick any cotton? One man said
he was going to plant cotton
up to the fourth of July and
another said you could plap

a case like that?
Getting dawn to figures,
Tucker points out that the
United States department of
agriculture estimates the value
of insect-eating birds to the
state as $44,000,000 annually.
“Actually, all bird life is worth
a lot more,” he says. “Consid-
er the millions spent by hunt-
ers each year, add in the meat
value of the game and recrea-
tional value of the sport.
You’ll see that game birds are
the basis of a big Texas in-
dustry.”

and large, you conclude, they
are of no great importance.
But don’t be too sure about
that. From one angle, they
are the most important living
things in Texas, according to
Bill Tucker, the man officially
responsible for much of the
state’s bird life. Tucker is ex-
ecutive secretary of the state
game commission and a nation-
al authority on wild life.
“There is nothing more im-
