Hllo friend...❤️❤️

In December 1955. Mao give an instruction in a document called Consultation for the Seventeen Regulations of Agriculture: Eliminating the four pests, that is, to kill rat, sparrow, fly and mosquito.
1956. The Outline of Agricultural Development was issued at that time, defined the four pests is sparrow, rat, fly and mosquito.

The farmers at that time, regard sparrow as pest because sparrow eats crop, but how did it become one of the four pests? On 8th January 1956, People’s Dairy published an article, The Harm Of Sparrow And The Way To Eliminate It, it said: According to our feeding experiment, a sparrow weights about 30g, will eat about 10g cereal, therefore, a sparrow will consume about 2kg cereal every years, let alone the sparrows live in the wild will need more energy and eat more because they hop and fly all day.

After four days, People’s Dairy published a headline article, it concluded that the amount of the crop that eaten or damaged by sparrows is no less than that by rats, and rats eat around 175 million kilograms crop per year, which is a huge number. Thus, sparrow naturally became one of the four pests.

On 12th February 1958, the Central Committee of CPC and the State Council issued an instruction to eliminate the four pests, and they want to achieve the goal of four-pests-free within ten years.

At that time, dead fly and dead rat became precious, people handed it to the superior department for credit. Some places even pay for that: 5 cents for a dead rat with a whole body, 3 cents for a rat tail.

hope its help U my friend...❤️❤️❤️
