Ants That Plant.

A species of ants living on the semi
arid plains of Texas cultivate areas Of
grass about their dwellings. On the
cultivated space, which may have an
area of ten to fifteen feet, only one
kind of grass Is allowed TO grow, and
IL is said that the seeds of this grass
are planted by the ants. Roads are
laid out regularly, rndiating from the
hill across the plain. and the shoots
of undesirable plants are promptly
nlbbled of as fast as they appear
among the crops. When the harvest
of the protected grass is ripe the ants
collect the seeds and convey them
along u radiating highway to the little
rooms In their hills. Interesting and
wonderful is the economy Of these
tiny insects. They may. when the col
onles are large and numerous enough,
do considerable damage to grain In
fields where their mounds are reared
and the clearlngs made.
