ANTS AT HOME AND IN FIELD,
Do Nothing But Sit Around and Call
Upon Their Slaves to Dis
gorge Honey.

Do Nothing But Sit Around and Call
Upon Their Slaves to Dis
gorge Honey.
August Forel in the international
Monthly:
At home the Amazonian ants do moth
ing but saunter around and call upon
their slaves to disgorge honey for them,
striking them, for this purpose, with
their antennae. 1t is absolutely the
slaves that do the whole Of the work,
that build the nest, that milk the
aphides and nourish the Polyergus and
their families. But these slaves work
freely fnstinctively, and are in reality
the mistresses of the house. If they
were only capable of willing it, the
could starve their supposed masters to
death, for the latter use no force to-
ward them.
No ant better enables one to observe
signe, antennary language, memory for
places and the mode of orientation..
How do the Polyergus manage to dis
cover nests of Formica fusca situated
often forty or sixty, meters away from
their own? In springtime and on sum-
mer mornings working Polyergus ants
go out by themselves; the explore in
the vicinity of their nests to very
great distance and thus discover the
nests of the slave species. These ants
may be accepted with certainty as be-
ing those that indicate the direction to
followed, both at the first start and
when the army stops and hesitates. And
it is here that the relational sense of
smell, the topo-chemical sense Of the
antennae, plays it's part. When a stop
occurs one of the working ants that
are searching around, recognizes,
thanks to it's memory Of localities,
guiding marks that enable it to find
it's bearings and thus it starts again.
taking the others with it.
The Polyergus is remarkable for its
courage. it's love for fighting, and it's
instructive tactics. They are afraid of
nothing, they do not hesitate to attack

done much damage In many parts of
| the wheat region this summer, seems
TO be a mystery to many. The worms
appeared about the time the wheat be-
gan to head, and have apparently re-
manned until the wheat has gone into
the stack. The damage by these worms
| Is done by their crawling up the stalks
| and eating out the kernels. AS the
wheat ripens and the grain hardens,
| the worms may only eat of the chaff,
thus allowing the grain to drop out.
The worms, or strictly speaking,
caterpillars. are not anything new;
| they have appeared before and will
doubtless be seen again. Entomologic-
ally classed, they are Of the order of
lepidoptera, of which there are over
5000 species In Anaerica, north of Mex
leo. The caterpillars above referred to
belong to the family noctuidae, so called
because the adults, which are COM
monty called millers, are usually seen
flying about in the evening after or
about dusk. There are over 1890 species
Of this family alone in our country. 1t
includes great many Of our most
troublesome caterpillars. such as the
army worm, cut worm, cabbage worm,
corn worm, apple worm, etc.
AS there have been several species OBJ
served to attack the wheat, it is not
possible to identify just what one it is,
but they closely resemble, some of them,
the army worm. However, they all
have the same habits. These worms
that are now, or have been bothering
the wheat, when they have become full
grown, burrow into the ground an inch
or so, and prepare winter quarters.
They" excavate a small cell, excrete a
cement that makes this water proof to
some extent, and then makes coc
coon or papery sack in which they en-
case themselves. During the time they
spend in this cocoon, or pupa case,
they change from the caterpillar to a
miller, which energies next spring to
lay supply of eggs in the wheat,
from which new lot of worms or
caterpillars is Matched.
Some of these species do not get their
full growth the first summer, so the
worm lives over and begins work early
again the next spring. The cutworm
Is an example of one of these.
The life history and observation of
the work of these pests will doubtless
suggest means. Of combating them
The wheat that was drilled in stubble
was attacked very much more than
that planted on plowed land. Flowing
the ground throws the pupae out and
breaks them up so that they are de-
stroyed. Careful fall blowing of all the
land infested is the most successful
methods of combating. The adults
usually deposit their eggs near where
they have passed the winter, but some
of them may be blown to other fields
at some distance. Another means of
lessening the damage done by them is
to rotate the crops. It is very seldom
that the same species of worms will do
damage to two differen crops. DR..
Henry Wallace, Of Wallace's Farmer,
says that these pests Of bugs, worms
and weeds are Gods warning that we
must not deplete the soil by growing
continually, year after year. the same
crops On the same land. Rotate the
crops or we will be rotated off the land.
