Itiave you found out where they have gone? No, they have not returned to England to engage in the war. Thty don't care anything about that. m Your English sparrows have gone to the country to assist in the wheat harvest. That's a fact. Ask far mers who live near Hickory if that isn't so Take a. look in the streets or in your garden and see if the little pests are there. Time was when the English sparrow considered the town as the only place to abide. That was before the days of the telephone Iwe are speculating now and the rural free delivery. But as telephone wires were strung along the highways, the sparrows fol lowed them and in time became a nuisance in the country as in the town. They follow improvements. For several days they have practi cally deserted Hickory. They have moved to the farms and they may be seen in wheat fields by the hundreds. Many farmers, the Record is inform ed have hurriend to put their grain in barns to protect it from the pesis. Bv Aeeoclated Press. Wilson, N.
