the disease is caused by an In
testinal parasite, occurring widely
in birds which feed and roost In
large flocks O'Donahue pointed
out that most birds are attacked
by. the disease when young and
survivors become immune.
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.

project. , -
Young Pines
To Be Planted
On Bowl Road
MOUNT SHASTA Seedling
pines will be planted next spring
on 50 acres of land cleared of
brush beside Everitt Memorial
Highway, the route to the ski
bowl, six miles east of this city.
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.
