LIFE DEPENDS ON BIRDS.
Destroy Them, Says Davey, and There
Will Come an Awful Horror.

Destroy Them, Says Davey, and There
Will Come an Awful Horror.
Do you want to know what the one
thing is that can be worse than the
European war? John Davey, big broth
er to the birds and tree physician,
Kent's CO., arbiter Of lawn and stream,
has found out what it is.
Mr.. Davey told an audience at a
New York Y. M. C. A.:
Human life depends upon vegeta-
ton. We would all starve if vegeta-
ton ceased for a year. But vegeta-
ton depends upon the birds, who pro-
tect it from destruction by insects.
Human life therefore depends upon
the birds. All insectivorous birds in
this country are decreasing 10 per cent
each year. Unless we start at once to
Increase their numbers, to protect them
and kill their enemies, within a decade
will occur the disaster to humanity
which l have spoken ola catastrophe
horror more awful than the European
war;"
Decrease in the insectivorous birds,
laid Mr.. Davey, is due to destruction
Of forests, depriving birds of retreats
from storms and cold and the enmity
of the English sparrows, which, he said,
increase almost as fast as the ton
measured progeny of the cankerworm.
