nirds." Some Illustrations of what
the birds hove done are cited by the
department, as follows:
On one Utah farm Infested by the
nlftilfa weevil, English sparrows alone
In one season fed to their young. It
is estimated, 800,000,000 of the pests,
.making them about one-third of the
diet of the growing birds. Sixty-six
kinds of birds feed on the cotton-ball
weevil, the greatest feathered enemy
of this pest being the orchard oriole.
A slugle stomach of this kind of bird
contained, upon examination, 41 boll
weevils. The green bug or wheat aphis
also but let the department tell the
story :
"On a 200-acre farm In North Caro
lina, where wheat, rye and oats were
severely attacked by green bugs, It
was found that the birds were very ef
fective In destroying the pests. The
outbreak was at Its height during the
migration season of such birds as the
goldfinch and the vesper and chipping
sparrows, which, with other species on
the farm, numbered more than 3,000
Individuals. It was found that these
birds were destroying green bugs at
the rate of nearly 1,000,000 a duy, and
on days when additional flocks of mi
grants were present this destruction
was doubled. During the season such
numbers of birds flocked to the grain
fields that the aphis infestation was
reduced by an Incalculable number."
Hardly an agricultural pest exists,
the department stutes, but has1 numer
ous effective bird enemies. For In
stance, 25 kinds of birds are known to
feed upon the clover weevil and a like
number on the potato beetle, 36 on
the codling moth, 43 on the gypsy
moth, 49 on horseflies, 67 on blllbugs,
85 on clover-root borers, 08 on cut
worms, 120 on leaf hoppers, and 168 on
Wlroworms.
"A classic Instance of the concentra
tion of bird attack upon an army of
Insect Invaders," the department says,
"occurred during the severe outbreaks
of the Rocky mountain locusts be
tween 1805 and 1877. So numerous
were these voracious pests that many
places visited by them were denuded
of every green thing. A thorough In
vestigation was mude of the relation
of birds to the outbreak, and It was
found that practically every species,
from the largest birds of prey to the
tiniest humming birds, from ducks and
other aquatic fowl to typical bird den
izens of the dry plains, turned to feed
ing upon locusts. In fuct, most birds
gorged themselves with this abundant
supply of food, and In doing so were
the means, In numerous cases, of sav
ing crops from destruction."
