AUSTRALIA RESULT
OF HOPPH HORDE
Nature's Balance Is Upset
When Food Too Plentiful
All Organic Linked by
Complex Chain Is Shown
WASHINGTON, D. C.lSpl.) Na
ture had toppled off her bala nee
again; this time In Western Austra
lia. Small green parrots usually un
obtrusively present in the Australian
bush, have multiplied until they are
practically a plague, according to
news dispatches. The birds are re
ported to be so numerous that a
flock alighting on a roof sounds like
. a hailstorm and the roof appears to
be painted green.
"The sudden appearance of the
parrots In such great numbers la a
striking example of Nature's Intri
cate Interconnections," says a bulle
tin from the Washington, D. C. head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society. "Biologists attribute the in
crease to a preceding plague of grass
hoppers, which inspired parrot par
eryta to raise more offspring than
usual. It Is probable that when the
parrots have eaten the excess In
sects, they jvtll run out of food and
decrease In numbers, and Nature will
recover her equilibrium.
Cats and Clover
"That a complex chain of influ
ence links practically all organic life
la well known. The relation of flies
to frogs, of chickens to hawks. Is
evident. The remote relation of cats
to clover la more subtle. According
to Darwin's famous explanation, in
some places a large clover crop de
pends on a large number of cats. If
It were not for cats killing field
mice, the mice would drive bumble
bees away by destroying their combs
and nests. Since bees are necessary to
fertilise certain kinds of clover, It is
obvious that no cats no mice, no
bees, no clover.
"The relation between fish and the
buttons on your shirt is not far to
seek. Some years ago pearl-button
manufacturers on the Mississippi
River looked harassed. patches of
clams were rapidly dwfcvtllng. Since
the buttons were cut out of clam
shells, this was no Joke. Investiga
tion disclosed that clams lead part
of their life cycle as larvae attached
to the gills of certain river fish, such
as suckers, Fishermen had been de
pleting the fish population, not
knowing they were depriving infant
clams of a home. The button man
ufacturers, realizing that no fish, no
clams no clams, no buttons hast
ily built up the fish population by
artificial propagation.
"Since the relation between most
creatures is as delicately adjusted as
the mechanism of a watch, man's at
tempt to regulate it to his satisfac
tion sometimes brings unforeseen re
sults. Tired of being awakened by
the fiendish whooping of oertain
kingfishers, Australiana & few years
ago began killing these 'laughing
Jackasses'. They were rewarded by a
sudden increase of snakes, which the
birds had been helping to keep un
der control.
"The farmer who shoote hawk In
discriminately may save his chick
ens, but he is likely to see his crops
ruined by field marmots and
other rodents, which have multiplied
unchecked.
"Even In small numbers, oertain
mice injure orchards, nurseries,
and root crops. But what
damage they can do when they
reach plague proportions was realized
by Nevada farmers in 1907 and 1906.
At that time, prairie mice caused
damage estimated at $300,000. On
many ranches, the mice, often 12.000
of them to the acre, riddled alfalfa
fields with their burrows until some
fields had to be plowed up.
"Rets, responsible for muoh dam
age to bulldingB, and for disease, are
wonderfully prolific, if they were al
lowed to multiply unchecked, it
would soon take more than a Pied
Piper to cope with them.
"Ground squirrels do great damage
to orchards and cultivated fields in
the United States, especially in Cali
fornia; and prairie dogs, ground
hogs, and rabbits add to the Ml tak
en by small animals.
"Just as extermination of certain
animals may 'upset the apple cart',
similarly introduction of foreign
species of animals may work havoc.
The disastrous results of importing
mongooses into Jamaica is outstand
ing. CaV3 Imported into several Isl
ands to check rats are said to have
multiplied into worst plagxies than
the rats. At present, felines prowl ov-

Bunnies Are Dangerous
"Australia, now plagued with pax
rots, seems to have its share of pests.
Plagues of rats and mice recur at In
tervals. Introduced snails, sparrows,
and starling multiply Into scourges
that alarm farmers and ranchmen.
Sheep raisers in oertain districts
keep a sharp lookout for foxes and
dingoes (wild dopi) which abound
and menace lambs.
"But Australia's most famous and
for years her most sinister animal
pest was the Innocent-looking 'bun
ny'. Sinister, because in five years,
it has been estimated by some statis
ticians, the descendants of a single
pair may reach several millions. Since
seven rabbits consume as much grass
as one sheep, rabbits, unmolested,
might eat up all the grass in Aus
tralia, displacing sheep and cattle.
"Rabbits were first Introduced in
to the country to provide sport, but
by 1859 the sport turned Into grim
warfare as ranchmen saw their pas
tures alive with waggling long ears.
Men were employed to do nothing
but kill rabbits. Some killed an av
erage of four hundred a day. The
equivalent of millions of dollars was
spent on rabbit-proof fences of wire
netting, sunk four Inches into the
ground, three feet high, and stretch
ing for miles. One rabbit fence runs
for 1.000 miles from Condon to near
Hopetoun. Chiefly as a result of
fencing, poisoning, and paying boun
ties, the rabbit pest is now pretty
well under control. But wouldn't
Australian farmers like to meet that
first 'squatter' who Imported them,
and tell him what they think of his
bright ideal"
'MERCHANT OF. VENICE'
TO BE PRESENTED AT
NORMAL MAY 10-11
"Th Merchant of Venice," famous
Shakeaperlan drama will be presented
at The Southern Oregon Normal
School May 10 and 11, under direc
tion of Angus L. Bowmer.
For this play a special stage has
been built out Into the audience so
that the scene changes can be made
without pause. The forestage Is made
In sections light but strong. Every
thing will fold into compact parts
to facilitate moving In case of tak
ing the show on the road.
Numerous curtains will be used so
that while action Is going on the
front stage the back one can be pre
pared. True to the Shakespearian
style of production very little scen
ery will be used and most of the
play will hinge upon the brilliantly
colored costumes of the Elizabethan
period. About the only properties to
be used -will be the conventional
benches of the time.
Tickets are now on sale at the
Toggery here.
