LADY BUGS MOBILIZED
TO ROUT APHID HOSTS

The aphid hosts which attack the
grain fields of Oregon and Washing
ton each drought season and cause
serious loss are to be routed next
year by an army of lady-bugs recruit
ed from the mountains and canyons
of the National Forests, II plan now
on foot is successfully carried out.
The Bureau of Entomology, assist
ed by the state and county agents, is
attempting to locate sufficient num-
ber OF the lady-bugs to meet any
emergency which may arise in the
grain districts of the two states. The
lady-bug has no more use for aphids
than civilization has for the Huns
and attacks and destroys them with
great zest, according to entomologists
who are familiar with the insects.
The lady-bugs, which are really
beetles and not bugs at all, congre-
gate early In the fall at high alti-
tudes, or In canyon bottoms, and are
sometimes found in all manner of
places, They remain inactive In these
large colonies as these gatherings are
called, until late the following spring,
clinging to vegetation OF all kinds.
The beetles have red body with
black spots and are from one eighth
to one fourth inch in length.
The Forest Service will cooperate
with the Bureau of Entomology In To-
eating lady-bug caches, and thus ia
cilitate their collection when needed.
A circular letter has been mailed
from the District Forester's office,
Portland, to the forest officers of the
district asking them to furnish infor-
nation concerning the location of
large colonies, containing twenty to
twenty-five quarts of the beetles,
date of discovery, and approximate
size of the colony.
The information furnished by the
rangers will be used in selecting sites
where the lady-bugs can be most con-
veniently collected by the federal,
state and county. officials this fall.
In this way the officials expect to
have the beetles available in suffi-
cient numbers to prevent a repetl-
tion of the grain loss of the past sea-
son in October and Washington.
