ENGLISH SPARROWS HURT
THE DALLES PEACH CROP
Fruit growers of The Dalles are au
thority for the statement that Eng
lish sparrows have spoiled many
peaches In this locality during the
past few weeks.
The English sparrow multiplies
very rapidly. A few years ago this
bird was practically unknown In
Eastern Oregon. They nest three
times a year and this season they have
been very numerous.
Fruit growers say that the sparrow
picks at the fruit and eats It, peach
es In particular, until It Is damaged
to the extent that It cannot be eaten.
The birds have been doing much dam
age in that district. The orehnrdlsts
there have been shooting the spar
rows to some extent and it Is planned
to tear down their nests, wherever
possible, In the future.
Until this year the sparrow was
not as noticeable, nor was it consid
ered such a menace, but from now on
It Is doomed and a war will be car
ried on to exterminate this bird.

of a cabinet offcer who does not
