The Caterpillar Peat

Ihere IS disaster impending over our beau
titul forest city," to which public attention
should be directed, and active measures should
be staken to mitigate and possibly avert the
threatened evil. refer to the caterpillars in
Testing cur shade trees. Prof Charles v.
Riley, of Washington, ID. c., the entomologist
OF the Department of Agriculture, has recent
ly given to the public some account of the
hairy caterpillsrs now causing trouble to the
shade trees in Philadelphia, New York, Boston
and other cities. Prof. Riley states that this
caterpillar lOrpyia lsneostioma) 'is rot eaten
by the house sparrows, although some of our
native birds, which now no longer frequent
our parks, doubtless fed upon them.o And
the same authority considers the present trou-
BILE largely due to the importation OF tire
house sparrow" or English sparrow, as It is
often locally termed here.
That the sparrows of this exotic species have
seriously disturbed the balance OF nature In
the American cities is fact long since known
to naturalists, and now appreciated by tho
public generally. We cannot abate the 'spar-
row nuisance" very speedily, nor in single
season bring back to their deserted haunts the
great variety and numbers of our native in
sectiyerous birds. Therefore, we must resort
to artificial means in averting the present i'm
pending pest of csterpillars, Already these
caterpillars are spinning their cocoons upon
our shade trees throughout the city as also
upon fences and the walls Of buildings, and
unless there shall be vigorous and persistent
warfare waged against them there will be mill
lions of their kind upon our shade trees next
summer
Our patriotic government has, In the past,
afforded home TO foreign outlaws and pau
pers, and furnished the Western Indians with
the equipments and munitions of war, used in
the destruction OF our own settlers and sol
diers; and local municipal authorities have af-
for6ed homes and protection to the usurping
foreign sparrow. would now ask the citizens
OF Portland to join me In calling the attention
Of our city fathers to an object more worthy OF
an expenditure of public funds than the cree
ton of bird houses for the foreign sparrows In
our city, namely, that OF providing efficient
means to exterminate the cater pillars which
else will destroy our trees.
