INSECT PESTS OF AGRICULTURE
By George D. Coleman

There are over 100000 known and
classified varieties of insects. The
world is better adapted to the breeding
Of insect life than it is for the produc-
ton Of animal life. and especially hui
man life. The world is better adapted.
as was remarked by Ingersoll, to the
production Of fish than Of animals or
humans. Were it not for the birds, the
Iinsect-eating bats, toads, frogs, and IN
Isects that prey upon other insects, and
Icertain fungus growths, cold weather
land heavy rains and long drougths, in
sects would multiply SO fast that in a
few years ALL PLANT AND ANIMAL
LIFE WOULD DISAPPEAR FROM
THE EARTH, AND THE WORLD
WOULD BECOME A LIFELESS ORB.
Do you realize the Importance of this
statement? Do you appreciate and
understand what it means2 Do you see
the need of protection to the useful
birds, the bats, toads, frogs, etc?
Do you know that the largest number
by far Of the insects that prey upon
cultivated crops are the product Of
night-fIying insects? The birds gener-
ally come out to hunt their food in
daylight; hence it is that the most in
furious insects, the most costly and
damaging ones, are the ones that re-
suit from night-flying insects. There
fore night-flying birds, bats, toads.
frogs, etc. should be protected and en-
couraged. The U. S. government, the
State governments, colleges, and sci
entists issue bulletins, publish articles,
deliver lectures, and unite in chorus, to
tell farmers these things, but with little
effect. In the industries and manufac-
lures and trades, when the government
gives scientific facts to the advantage
of manufacturers or tradesmen, they
Immediately take advantage of the in
formation. and they and the public are
benefited; but it is not SO with the
majority Of farmers. If these bulletins.
publications, and lectures were given to
their cattle or hogs, it would have about
the same amount Of effect as has been
produced by addressing them to the
farmers. This is not because farmers
are in the majority ignorant men or
men devoid of general intelligence.
The SUCCESSFUL farmers are the
men who subscribe to a good agricul-
tural paper, or two or three of them,
men who get the bulletins, Federal and
State, AND READ THEM, and prac-
tice what they teach. The unsuccess-
full farmer does not subscribe to any
agricultural paper or, in fact, read at
all. They are generally so poor that
they cannot afford to attend the state
or county fairs, unless close at hand;
and if they do attend, the horse racing,
the foot or basket ball or base bail
contests, or some such thing, interests
them more than the supposed object
of holding the Fair at all. These are
the class of farmers who would do bet
ter financially as roustabouts, section
men, or unskilled laborers in the cities
than as supposed farmers, which they
are not. And, as to how to combat the
insect pests that injure their crops,
they do not know enough to know the
utility of using the means nature has
given them to abate, check, or erad-
icate their insect enemies. Scientific

There are many fine-spun arguments
against war and for war preparation.
Specifically there can be no gainsay-
ing the correctness of such position.
But anyone who has made the slight
est study Of the system controlling So
ciety knows that TO disarm by mutual
consent and leave the system in force,
the same situation would again con-
front peoples a generation or two
hence.

\$2.19A2; It was the
Spanish who were it's first ex-
plorers, De Vaca visiting this
region in 1886 and Coronado
four years later. The natives
were the Pueblo Indians, al
though they are somtimes errone-
ousIy reputed to have been Az
tees as they were well advanced
in the arts and had a compare
lively high civilization. These
Indians were conquered in 1898
by Juan de Onate and became
subject to Spanish rule, being
forced to work the mines and
pay tribute. Missions were estab-
lished and Santa Fe was founded
about 1908.
Except for "a period of ten
years when the Indians revolted
and maintained their indepen-
dence, New Mexico remained I'M
der Spanish control until in 1921
Mexico gained it's independence
from Spain and New Mexico
became a province of Mexico.
Thus it remained until the out
break Of the Mexican war, when
in 1915 Colonel Kearny marched
from Fort Leayenworth with his
troops, occupied Santa Fe and
declared this region a part of the
United States. BY the Treaty
with Mexico in 1913, the upper .
part Of the state was formally
ceded to the United States and
the Territory Of Mexico was or
gained in 1851, which reached
from Texas to California.
Arizona was set off from New
Mexico in 1868 and a few years
later a portion was contributed
to Colorado. Application for adj
mission as a state started in
1850, but it was not until 1910
that New Mexico became the
forty-seventh state.
New Mexico ranks fourth in
size among the states with an
area of 122, 634 square niles, but
is sparsely populated and accord
ingly has only three electoral
votes for President.

Clever Trick.

Golden sauSages were used by relief
workers to carry money in parts of
Asia Minor where bandits are at
work. one Of the best methods adopted
was the taking of money from Con
staDtinople to the interior of Anatolia
by extracting meat from string Of
sausage and substituting gold. This
ruse succeeded because the robbers
are mostly Turks and have the Mos
lem adherence of the pig and its
products. The worker in charge Of
the golden sausages was held up sew
eral times, but the hidden gold was
never touched.
