Blueb;rd Holds Own

The bluebird. at once the most useful
and most intelligent Of the native birds,
is one of the few birds that Is holding
his own against the English sparrow. The
bluebird continues to cope with the spar
row at great disadvantage, The sparrows
attack him twenty TO one. but he fights
them off and builds his nest and defends
1t against their attacks.
This bird is the handsomest and tamest
species Of wild birds The bluebird stands
at the head OF the bird kingdom. He
feeds almost entirely on harmful in
sects. The beneficial insects are less
eaten By the bluebird. This bird shows
great intelligence lie does not fear hu-
man beings and Will nest near or even
In the houses il given chance.
Prof Paul calls attention TO the fact
that the bluebirds Will nest In boxes
erected on high poles. The. higher. these
poles are made the better IL VIII be for

House Finch Here

Were It not for the English sparrow the
house finch would have been our preva-
lent sparrow. This pretty little bird has
returned with the spring, but It Is kept
vel! out into the suburbs by the Eng.
against all corners, The house finch is
found near the city and county building
and farther 'out in the suburbs It has
given way a great deal before the Eng

ders great deal of benefit through It's
appetite for insects and weed seeds. The

plant lice and all OF the minor parasites

TALLY driven away by the sparrow.
So numerous has the English sparrow
become that he Is not only great nuis-

menace. The sparrows destroy the gar
den crops Of the city and then in vast
numbers ravage the grain fields adjoln-
ing. They do great harm To trees by
picking the buds and incalculable dam
age by killing aud driving out the bene
fetal inscctivorous birds which are un
able To cope with the vast numbers OF
sparrows which attack them.
Prof. Paul has been urging for years
that some positive move be made TO
suppress or eXterminatc the English
sparrow. The sDarrows are In such large
numbers that IL appears useless for an
individual TO try 10 cope with them. He
urges that the city councils. town boards
and boards OF county commissioners APP
propriate a few hundred dollars to aid
in getting rid of the pests. The best
time TO get rid OF these pests is In the
winter time, through the agency OF polls

Useful SzUdlloWs Gone

In the early days OF Utah there were
swallows in great numbers throughout
al OF the cities and towns. In Salt
Lake they were present In particularly
large numbers. The veteran resident OF
Sat Lake will remember the caves of the
salt Lake theater of his boyhood DAYS
as lined with the mud nests OF the cave
swallow, Ele VIII also recall that in those
days II was thought that this altitude
WAS uniaVorable to flies and mosquitoes
Ihese pests were then less common in
Utah. With the decrease OF the number
OF swallows came vast numbers of flies
and mosquitoes.
1t has not been ascertained bcyond
question just why the flies and mosuui-
toes appeared In such large numbers IL
Is known. however that the swallow has
an enormous appetite for gnats, flies and
mosquitoes, and that one swallow eats his
own weight of these pests In day, and
II is reasonable TO infer that the disap-
pcarance of the swallow has been the oc :
casion for the greatly increased numbers
OF these pests,
Salt Lake has large swarms CT mos
quitoes, Professor Paul points out. In
most cities the smoke drives the mosqui-
toes away. but they remain In Salt Lake
despite the smoke, to the discontinue
and danger Of the inhabitants. The house
fies. the chief food OF the swallow, are
becoming great menace. Files are
among the principal disease breeding in
sects and against them the state board
OF health has inaugurated a vigorous

Cat Birds Foe

The common house cat is foe to many
valuable birds. For some reason the
house cat seldom moests the English
sparrow. This is partly due to the
alertness OF these little birds, which keep
out OF the cats way. The song birds,
however. fall an easy victim to the cat
The songster wrapped UP In his own
song seldom notices danger and the
stealthy approach OF the cat is unknown

Native SparroWS Useful

In contradistinctlon to the English
sparrows the native sparrows are all use
iul. tnfortunatcly they are rapidly be-
ing crowded out by the vicious little Eng
ish birds. In the group generally known
AS native SparrowS arc included the spar
rows, huntingS and tnches, of which &
score OF different varieties are found In
this state.
The handsomest and the finest mu-
slclan OF this group Is the lark sparrow
This bird lives among the sagcbrush and
is great insect cater. IL has not yet
arrived from the south. but is about due.
The song sparrow, an exquisite singer
frequently found along streams and IN
all canyons. has been here for month.
The vespcr sparrow has a wilder. freer
note TO its song than the others. 1t
usually sings toward dusk, hence It's
