The old-style Dodson Trap has been successful for two years — thousands 

 in use. This is notably better. 



Banish sparrows and native birds will return to your garden. The spar- 

 row is a quarrelsome pest. U. vS. Dept. of Agriculture Bulletin advocates 

 destruction of English sparrows. 



Sparrows are good for one thing only — they're good to eat. Often served 

 as Reed birds. 



Write for Sparrow Trap Booklet and for Dodson Bird Book which tells 

 how to win native birds to live in your garden — both free. Mr. Dodson, a 

 Director of the Illinois Audubon Society, has been building bird houses for 20
