He said the birds found In Ris kus' yard were all juveniles with the disease, many of which would have lived under ordinary circum stances, but the unseasonal cold weather Wednesday night chilled them, lowered their resistance and caused them to die in large num bers. He called the incident one of. "nature's levelers" and said there is, in his opinion, no cause for concern among domestic flock raisers. " After first word from Riskus, J. D. Vertrees, Department of Ag riculture Extension Service, re ceived telephone calls from points all over the Basin reporting other large groups of dead English spar rows. , Vertrees agrees that the mass deathi are nature's way of con trolling bird population and con firms O'Donahue's belief that there is no danger at this time to poul try. However, as a precautionary measure, . some of the birds are being studied by pathologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice to authoritatively establish the nature of the disease.

The plantation will be another unit in a 20-year reforestation pro gram, underway on the slopes of Mt. Shasta, said John C. Watt, ranger of Mount Shasta district of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Previous experience shows about 90 of 100 seedlings survive when brush is cleared before planting. Survivors usually are stunted. The mountain should be cloaked with trees enough to yield contin uous timber harvests by the year 2,000, foresters believe. It once was prime lumbering region.
