The State exhibit Of insects holds
the same absorbing interest that IL has
done at the previous fairs
The unusual opportunity of watching
the living pests as their life histories
unfold affords many a keen delight. In
the collection was a big lunar moth
larva. To all appearances he would de-
velop into q mature insect. bur he had
been exposed to parasites and his big,
feShlike body was soon covered by the
, cocoon-like growth which this particu-
lar parasite develops. Thus, to the
thousands of visitors at the fair the
lesson Of fighting insects with other
insects is taught conclusiveiy. The
value Of the display is inestmable.
