Few Insect Pests Found This Year,

That meteorological conditions are re.
sponsible for the paucity Of insects thi.
year is the theory ADVANCED by DR.. E. A.
Schwarz, Of the NatiShal Museum. 1T is
an accepted fact that some years are
positively injurious to insects, said Dr.
Schwarz, insects are apparently easily
affected by bad weather conditions, and
the present year seems to be one that has
proved disastrous to insect life."
The full explanation offered by DR..
Schwarz Is that the insects, whose num-
bers have been so remarkably depleted
this year, died from starvation during the
winter and spring months Cold weather.
which came so spasmodically last winter.
acted with telling effect on bugs Of all
kinds. Particularly were the cold rains
which fell during the early part of the
year extremely harmful to them.
The harm done to plant life by rain and
cold atmosphere resulted in starvation to
both the parent insect and the young, who
died because atmospheric conditions were
injurious. Many insects propagate In the
water and on coming out of the water the
young when subjected to the rieors of cold
air die, said DR.. Schwarz.
Because so many varieties Of insects are
harvest pests and do serious damage to
the foliage Of trees, their remarkable alb
sence this year would be hailed with joy
by the farmer and fruit grower were it not
for the unusually wide prevalence, on the
other hand, of fungus erowths.
Foremost among the tiny creatures alb
sent this year is the mosquito. One may
thus frequent shaded hooks and sloping
lawns with impunity, for the mosquito.
against which we fume in our walking
hours and carry on phantom battles while
asleep, is gone. but not forgotten.
The May fly. which is attracted in swarms
by street lights and brilliantly lighted store
windows, is also noticeably scarce this
year. This insect, as well as the mosquito.
is r-propaeatins bug, and its scarcity
is explained by the fatal effects to the
young when they came out Of the water.
Were dogs and cats able to express an
opinion Of this remarkable "bueless" year
they would, no doubt, manifest marked
approval Of the noteworthy absence of
their tormentors. Fleas. it is pointed out.
share to a marked degree in the universal
toboo on insects.
OF the insects that are common. the yell
low-jacket wasp is also among the number
who failed to put in an appearance this
year. The elm-leaf beetle is almost en-
tirely gone. and the quit-wOrm. which at
tacks vegetables, has consoled the gardener
by keeping out of sight.
The army worm, which inficts so much
damage on grain crops. has almost entirely
this year. Butterflies, and
the cabbage butterfly, which
preys on cabbages in the fields and even
In the market stalls. is noticeably absent
now. Crickets. beetles. June bugs, grass
hoppers and the hundreds Of other little
winged creatures. that almost Invariably
put in their appearance as the weather
becomes warmer. are all suffering this year
depleted numbers.
