And why lean back on the old argument that "Nature will balance itself, when the fact of the matter is that man, having upset Nature's balance, ought to be held re- sponsible for restoring that bal- ance. TFhe predator situation has becomne tili more grievous lately because of the low prices païd mfor raw furs; during the last ten or more years the packs of timber wolves and hordes cf skunks, weasels and ottie-r pre- dators, have increased euit cf ail proportion te the herds of game. Ani that is saying noth- ing cf the increase in the flocks of crows and mragpies wIhich for three months of each year live practically entirely on the eggs of other birds. Most certainly -we needhabi - fat, food and shelter for Our wild life: but Wlhat good are ail these if ninety-four nests out of onehondred and twenty- three (94 eut cf !23) nýests are geing te be destroyed bn the egg stage by egg-eating preda- itors? This is the true sýituation, as has been authenitically re- vealed b-y the research biche- gists cf North Dakota, last yenr.

Allen when he write-s, "Killing Predators Won't Increase the Game-." Bermuda FIowers E ven the most latent horticul- tural interest La excited by the mnasses Sf spectacuflar fiowers iin Bermruda. Their variety is f as- cinating, their beauty is aston- lshing andi their erigixis are hard te believe. Bermuda was one cf the last really habitable spots ini the world te be inhabited, antd until Sir George Somners landed in 1609, nature had been in jul control. There- were then a mnere one hundred and fifty varieties cf plants ineluding the seven- te-en indigenous ones. Appar- ently the others, similar to plants native te Mýrexico, the West Indies and the south-east-- ern ceast cf the United States, had fioated i1n on seaweed or had grown fromn seeds brought by rnigrating birds. Now the-re are more titan 1,500 varieties cf plants. A surprising number cûf Bermuda's early globe - reaming sailors extend- ed their investigations of for- eigni ports beyond the water- front te the flora cfl a ne-w country, and brought back slips and seeds of plants that wcould entament the Colony. Here on a coral atoll in the middle of the Atlantic, flowers brouglit by these seagoing fiower - fanciers fromi Asia, Africa, North and South America and the West Indies have fiôurished. In addition te 'the contribu- tions cf sailormen, eaniy gev- ernors and th ei r wives fre- quent-ly brougiti ne-w spe-cies with themn,and others arrive-d in leters. Some plants, sucit as the loquat, camne te the Islands quite by accident. This pretty evergre-en is native te- Japan, and it arrived in Bermuda only because a ship in distre-ss, with some aboard, was forced ie St. George's Harbor. Now t grows widely, and loquat pre- serves are a local delicacy. Gardens are carefully tended and are a source of gre-at pride, but ne well-manicure-d beds and bordera can contain the exuber- ance cf the fiowers. They trail along the sandstone wallS ber- dering the winding roads and invade vegetable gardens, ýuntil the-re la cneated the impression cf a large outticor greenhouse. -Frem "Bermuda Holiday," by Mary Johnson Twee-dy.
