By Rene Bache.

- NE BILLION strong when it all gets
there, another American army is
- on it way to France. Not men this
time, but bugs-and those familiar little red
and black-spotted beetles, that we affection
ateIy call ''lady-bugs," and that have long
been supposed to embody in themselves
al the superior maternal sollcitudes and
house-wifely instincts. OF this vast army
some millions have already taken ship.
Furthermore, like our other armies. this
one is going to France to fight. French
orchards, now the Germans have been
cleared out, are suffering from another
plague predatory, destructive parasite
called the "mealy bug" which is just as
thorough as the invaders recently rolled
back. Our lady-bugs are going over 20 eat
them up. While they are about 1t they
viii tackle the plant lice also, as we'll aS
other insect nuisances that afflict the
orchards. and gardens Of France.
'Lady-bug, lady-bug! Fly away home!
"Your house is on fire,
''Your children do roam"
Hundreds Of thousands of American chill
dren have sung this triolet of warning;
holding the little beetle poised on finger
and always sure, when the tiny wings eX-
banded and it few OF, that the lady-bug
had heard and understood and was hurry
ing OF to gather the children and save her
house If she could One was always glad
that she would find the message eXagger-
sted and imagined her standing looking at
the little ones and saying: well, those
big bugs fooled me again." But the very
next time away it would go-because after
all you could never tell-those strange
human bugs might some day actually be
telling the truth.
Their very dignihed, scientific name. by
the way, is Coleoptera CocCinellidae. Nor
are we right in calling them lady-bugs.
Back in the Middle Ages, when they got
their name, they called them lady-birds or
Iady-beetles, because they were dedicated
to the Virgin Mary and were the Birds
or Beetles Of Our Lady" The curious
connection goes back beyond the Christian
era, however, to other "OUT Ladies'
There are many superstitions about them.
One explanation of the familiar song is
that it originated in England where they
burn the hop vines after the harvest. The
vines are usually full Of the aphids or
plant lice upon which the beetles and the
little coccinellid children feed.
Now what science has discovered about
this interesting insect is that our ideas OF
its gentleness and domesticity are all
wrong. Also the lady-bug that you sing to
very probably isn't a lady lady-bug at all,
but a gentleman lady-bug not at all con-
cerned about the fate of his children.
But whether lady lady-bug or gentleman
lady-bug, it is Just about as ferocious,
predatory and carniVorous a creature as it
Is possible to conceive.
And, being so. it is a great deal more

ment. because what it feeds upon are In
variably the enemies of man and it is a
wonderful feeder.
This brings US back to why that army
is on its way to France from California
from California because the California
kind are most voracious and carnivorous
Of all.
The employment Of these little beetles
as soldiers to defend the orchards and
gardens of California has reached a high
point of development within the last few
years. They are shipped to all parts Of
the State, cOnsignments Of them being de-
livered free to growers of fruit and vege-
tables.
The famous Imperial Valley. where great
areas are devoted to the production of the
finest cantelOupes in the world, would be
obliged to go out Of that business alto
gether were it not for the help of the lady
bugs The State Government at Sacra-
mento sends four tons Of ladybugs to the
Imperial Valley each Spring to prevent
the plant lice from eating up the melon
vines.
One naturally asks where do all these
adybugs come from? The answer Is that
they are collected during the Winter in
he mountains. Trained bug hunters gather
them.
In late Autumn the little beetles depart
from the valleys and fly up into the high
Sierras where they assemble in swarms
about the roots Of plants, choosing by
preference sunny slopes along the banks of
streams The first ones are due to arrive
about November 1, and then It is that the
bug-hunters begin to get busy. They go
mp into the mountains and hunt for the
colonies.
But they do not disturb the colonies
which have only begun to form. Later on
there will be thousands where at this time
there are but a few in each assemblage
They are content to locate them, making
sketchmaps that will make easy the
problem Of finding them months afterward.
How important these sketch-maps are
may be judged from the fact that in Decem-
Der and January, when the bug-hunters do
their collecting, the high mountains are
likely to be covered by snow to a depth Of
several feet
It Is then an affair OF digging, and there
must be no uncertainty as to where the
insect colonies are TO be found
At best II Is hard work, with much ex-
posuTe to bad weather and severe cold
The bug hunters are equipped like Arctic
explorers-for the lady-bugs are to be
found only at high elevations-and with
them they carry sacks I'm which to pack
the insects. In the mouth Of each sack is
a sieve with a Wire-net bottom.
Naturally, in collecting the insects much
trash In the. way Of dried leaves and other
debris is gathered. Most Of It is disposed
of by passing the gathered material
through the sieve. Two men usually work
together, one getting out the bugs-which
may be grabbed by the fistful-and drop
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-03-23


there the boxed beetles are kept until
Spring arrives, when they are shipped by
express to the places where they are need
ed. This is an affair controlled by tsle-
graphic orders from Sacramento.
Consider the case Of the Imperial Valley.
In early June thousands Of acres Of canta-
loupes are starting to grow. The problem
is to get the ladybugs on the job at just
the right time. II they get there seventy
two hours too early the plant lice viii be
too few to provide them with food and they
will staTVe TO death. On the other hand, II
they arrive forty-eight hours too late the
crop may be entirely lost. In forty-eight
hours the plant lice may destroy whole
fields Of muskmelons.
Accordingly, the method adopted II to
send experts into the melon-growing re-
gion, who watch for the arrival Of the
first plant lice, and at the proper moment
they wire to Sacramento for help. Sacra-
mento wires the packing house, and, with
out a minutes unnecessary delay, a. many
millions Of beetles as may be needed are
shipped. All the grower has to do Is to
scatter them over the melon Vines-they
may be counted on to do the rest.
For effective work about $4,000 ladybugs
to the acre suffice. They are usually dis
tributed in the early evening, after sun
down. BY the next morning they have got
over the excitement incidental to the dis
turbance they experience, and are ready
for business. They simply eat the plant
lice on the face Of the earth.
OF all insects friendly TO man the lady.
bug is by far the most valuable. Twenty
odd years ago 1t saved the orange orchards
of California from total destruction by
wiping out the "futed scale" insect which
was eating them up. 1t is literally a bug
of prey, feeding in gluttonous fashion upon
many Of the worst enemies Of our crops.
Il is particularly a friend Of the fruit
grower and egetable-gardener, and In this
capacity It is expected to prove vastly use
ful in France.

other passes them

fair collection for
two men. But they
are very bulky for

that forty pounds
are about as much
as a man can carry.

miles distant, where a packing-house has
been established for handling the bugs
There, to begin with, they are cleaned;
that is, separated from the dirt, bits OF
dead leaves and other refuse which the
sieve has failed to exclude.
The cleaning process is interesting. 1t
Is accomplished in a sort OF automatic
fashion, the contents Of the sacks being
dumped upon long tables, which are bril-

stops. Day and night during its active life
it pursues its food.
Incidentally, some Of the Wasps are
rather good friends Of the farmer. There
are varieties which help keep down the
caterpillar plague.
These wasps sting the caterpillar 70
death and then lay their eggs in its body.
When the young Of the wasp hatch out they
feed upon the carcass. We're Il not for
these wasps our losses through caterpillar
depredatiOns would be many times greater
than they are at present.
One Of the great sources Of loss in wheat
growing has been due to the injurious
activities OF the wheat nudge, which feeds
on the grain, and II unmoIested by is
enemies would soon reduce our wheat
crops to the vanishing point. But several
of the friendly insects keep the nudge 10
restraint, one being the FaVenous two,
winged flies. which seize and carry away
the nudge and suck out its juices. Its
most powerful foe. however, is parasite
that lives on the mfdge-a small black ~,
somewhat resembling the ant As the
nudge increases In number these para
sites also increase for they depend for q
living on the nudge, and the more mfdges
there are the more parasites there are on
hand TO eat them ND.
The rate Of growth Of these parasites Is
so fast that they soon overwhelm the
nudge and destroy it entirely. In the same
way the army worm and the destructive
Hessian iy are constantly being destroyed
by useful insects that keep them so re-
duced in number that their harm to US is
much smaller than It might otherwise be.
In addition to the insects which helm
man By their warfare against his enemies
and those that are useful to him in medi-
cine. there are many others that serve use
full purposes in a commercial way. Most
familiar Of these are the honey and wax
obtained from the bee. There is a Chinese
bug which sscretes q kind of grease on
trees. This hardens into wax and is col
lected, melted and purified, when it be-
comes white and glossy In appearance, and
when mixed with oil It can be made into
candles.
The eOehineal, q scale insect living on
cacti In the American tropics, besides hay-
ing medicinal properties, yields the two
dyes called carmine and lake. The natural
dye Of the cochineal Is used in coloring
soldiers uniforms. as It stands the weather

the rssinous substance produced by the
East Indian scale insect and deposited in
a crust on twigs to contain the insect and
the eggs. The export value Of shellac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as high
a. $4,000, 900. Lac has also been used to
make dyes, and Is also used as stiffening
for hats, as q sealing wax ingredient, as q

l wciaz niknie w dioni b;aiej,
Brylantowo sic rumieni
I zostaje W iezce maiej.
Dziwnym jakimS smutkiem
Spiewa
Puszca ciszy i z%adumany;
Zaszumiaiy teskno drzewa,
P~rzemowiiy te poszumy:
ne kwiat urok swoj utraci -
Zapisano tam jest w niebie,
Gdy zdobyty ME ola braci,
Lecz zerwany jest ola siebie.">
I rozszumiai Dor juz wszystek,
Jak z~apowiedz nocy kohca,
Kalinowy zadrzal listek,
Bo zatesknii juz do sionca.
