for the carrying out of an exten-

Prospecting activities will be
chiefly centred in the Yellowknife
area, also on the north and south
shores of the east arm of Great Slave
Lake including the islands. At least
five major mining companies will
have prospecting parties in this field
and indications are that many in-
dividual parties will also prospect
the area. As part of last year's geo-
logical field program 10,000 Square
miles were examined north of the
northwest and east arms of Great
Slave Lake, and the geological

third of this area, which forms the
southern part of the yellowknife

Preservation of wild life in protest to the Federal government and to de-

It is good to note that this awakening desire to conserve the game

Portance in the balance of Nature is becoming more and more recognized,
There was a time when the destruction of song birds was passed oyer as
a matter of little or no moment, except by a few bird lovers,

This apathy towards the wilful destruction of the feathered songsters
of woodland and open prairie is fortunately passing and to-day they are
generally regarded as friends of man which should be protected. The ma-
jority of them it is now more widely recognized are the foes of insect pests
which, if left to multiply without let or hindrance, would in a very short
Space of time render-the world uninhabitable.

To-day not only are people generally refraining from killing song birds
and are restraining youth from giving vent to a lust to kill, but are taking
more active steps to protect their feathered friends from such natural foes
as the crow and the magpie. pa

In all three provinces there are clubs in operation, formed with the de-
struction of the crow as the objective of the ip. While diff
of opinion as to the menace of the crow have been voiced from time to
time, the weight of evidence in the indictment of this bird as an adversary
of the insectivorous song birds is overwhelming. One witness for the prose-
cution, Dr, H. G. Carson of Saskatoon found that 53 per cent. of the crow
nestlings examined by him on behalf of the Fish and Game League last
year had been fed eggs or young birds taken from their nests and that
examination of more than 300 crows shot during the season by members
of the league showed that 28 per cent. of the adult crows had eaten birds
or eggs in the height of the nesting season.

In the light of this evidence the recently announced Sweepstakes com-
petition by the Saskatchewan Government aimed at the destruction of
crows and magpies is regarded as a distinct forward movement in the pro-
gram of preservation of songsters and game birds, and apart from the
monetary reward offered for killing banded crows will doubtless be heralded
with general approval by Nature lovers. « ;
