V GIPSY MOTH IS HEADED THIS WAY Only Recourse State Has Is to Turn to Birds, Says William L. Finley, State Game Warden Moths Wipe Out Entire Forests. "Tho worst duvastlnt; Insects In tho world Ih snld to ho Raining .1 foothoUl In OroRon. Tho ilumaKc that they nccumiillsh rmiB Into many millions of ilollnrs. These are the Klnsy ami brown tall moths. These, with white butterflies and pine beetles would soon destroy tho largest forests In tho state. The destruction by fire In our forests would bo less, in' dollars 11 ml cents, than tho destruction that can be wrought in a short time by an attack of tho gipsy moths." This statement by William . Fin- ley, president of the Oregon Audubon society, is based upon two newspaper reports, ono from Tacoma and one Ironi Portland. The former states that the brown tall moth has Infested tho Halnlor Valley, near Seattle, and that tho stato commissioner of hor ticulture has ordered tho district af fected under quarantine. Tho lat ter Is In the form of a communication stating that what appears to be the gipsy moth has made Its appearance In Southeast Portland. The gipsy moth was imported Into this country for scientific purposes In 188St While they were carefully kept in captivity for some time, they finally broko away and within 20 years, New England was attacked by them In such numbers that entire forests were stripped in a short time. Tho legislature of Massachusetts ap propriated $50,000 for their exterl- nation, but to little avail. Within ten years, over SI, 000, 000 was spent In tho work, followed by an appropria tion of $300,000 In ono year, yet the gipsy moth was unconquered. Tho stale finally gave up the work nnd ono property owner spent over $75,000 on his own estate in an ef fort to stem the fearful slaughter of tho trees. It is the experience of the biolo gical survey of the department of agrtculturo that once theso frightful enemies of the treo Invade a timber country, they cannot be destroyed. It Is urged that tho best that can be done is to check them. If 75 per cent of the total Is destroyed, a good work has been done. The scien tific checking of his pest is out lined In several bulletins that have been 'issued by the bureau of biolo gical survey nnd great emphasis is laid up on tho natural check provided by bird life. The chickadee, nuthatch, bushtit, warbler, sparrow and woodpecker, of the Oregon birds, are known to be the worst enemies to gipsy moths that we have. Many sections of the country have been watched by scien tists with the Idea of ascertaining to what extent theso birds actually feed upon moths. The result has been as tonishing. These Investigations have demonstrated that theso birds have an economical value in the destruc tion of insect pests in our forests that no one can approximate. Upon opening tho stomachs of the birds, It has been found that tho principal diet was Insects ind moths that are detrimental to forest growth. It Is a popular belief that birds of certain kinds arc destructive to fruit trees, whilo an analysis of bird stomachs shows conclusively that Insect lifo is their chief food. As a matter of fact, the harm that they do, which Is slight Is greately exceeded by tho good. It Is estimated by tho department of agriculture that the damage sus tained by insect Infestation, to the Amorlcan tree Is $02,500,000 annual ly. Tho bird life of the state should bo loyally protected. Theso Httlo po licemen of the air should bo encour aged, safe-guarded and petted, for upon them, to a very large extent, rests tho burdon of tho salvation of the foiestu of this great state.
