many were Of kinds that are helpful to us
or harmless. Also it is we'll on record that
there are many kinds of birds which help
us greatly by devouring insects, and that
where sparrowS have systematically been
destroyed for long course of years all
have Jared better for their absence; and
also, attention should be drawn to the enor-
nous powers of increase of this bird, which
under not only protection, but to some ex-
tent absolute fostering, raises its numbers
so disproportionately as to destroy the
natural balance"
The advice of many American authorities
that this bird should be destroyed is then
quoted with approval; and the authors con-
clude as follows:
Reasoning on the same grounds as to
procedure in this country, We believe that
similar action Is called for here. The
amount of the national loss, by reason of
ravaged crops and serviceable birds driven
away, may be estimated, without fear OF
exaggeration, at from 1,OO0.OOO to 2,OOU.00O
a year. We do not pretend to offer sug-
gestions as to what may be considered fit
ting to do by government authority, but
much of their own perfection lies in the
hands Of farmers themselves; and sparrow
clubs. well worked and always bearing in
mind that it is only this one bird that is
earnestly recommended to their attention,
would probably lessen the load to bear
able amount; and we believe that subscrip-
lions, whether local or from those who
know the desirableness of aiding in the
work OF endeavoring to save the bread of
the people from these feathered robbers,
would be money wisely and worthily
spent
The sooner these suggestions are adopted,
and vigorously carried out, the better.
