The interesting question in natuya
history, "Do Ants Raise Ant-Rice? 2" il
answered by Professor W. NJ Wheeler
in the negative, Notwithstanding the
fact that Darwin and Lord Avebury
have expressed the opposite view
"Ant-rice" is a kind of grass, of whose
seeds some species of ants are very
fond, and as it often grows abundantll
near their nests, they have been cred
tied with purposely cultivatlng it. Pro
fessor Wheeler says that the grasi
near the nest is accidentally planted
The ants, having stored the rice il
their chambers, are accustomed L
carry out grains that have begun t,
sprout. TO say that they really SOW
this seed, he AYERS, is "as absurd a
to say that the cook is planting an,
maintaining an orchard when some o

trees"
