TIE ENGLISH SPARROW AS A
PEST.
BY Paul Hayhurst, Professor of Ento.
mology University of Arkansas.

mofo9y. university OF arkansas.
TF.s article is au attempt TO point
out what pest the English sparrow
IS and how it can be controlled. The
English Sparrow, or the House Spar
row as it is more correctly named in
Europe and Asia. WAS introduced into
the United States about 1880. 1t be-
came established at Memphis, Tenn,
in 1871, and is thought 70 have been
introduced into Arkansas at Hot
Springs between 1876 and 1880 From
these points it has spread over the
entire state, and is now an abundant
pest in all cities. most towns, and on
nearly every farm in Arkansas.
The English Sparrow has a saucy,
aggressive disposition; it is very fear
less and persistent in its search for
food and IN nesting: it is extraodinar-
ily fertile, very hardy and in this
country has no enemies which can re-
duce its numbers sufficiently. Il is
naturally very domestic. prefering
hiekly settled communities and AVOID.
ing heavily wooded and mountainous
sections In the rural parts il loafs
around the buildings and the most
travelled highways. 1t is a persistent,
noisy nuisance. and never redeems IL
self with song, In dlthiness and de.
structiFeuess it is amoHng birds what
,ae brown rat is among animals.
The following is "a brief account Of
the damage done by this feathercd

through many observations by the
Bureau Of Biological Survey of the
United States Department OF Agrieul-
tare. About rs per cent of the food

In this respect the species does 10

rows. however, feed their young ones
entirely oa insect food, and the adults
of these species feed largely on weed
seeds. wild fruit. insects and very
little grain Thus our native sparrows
are valuable birds, while the English
Sparrow is an undoubted pest.
Methods of Control.
The most satisfactory method Of re-
ducing the numbers OF this pest III a
nei6hborhood is TO destroy all the
nests every ten or twelve days through
the breeding season The nests can
be torn down with long pole and an
iron hook at the end. The birds ca
be encouraged to build their nests
