Insects and Men.

Every insect has his day. Just at
present three varieties have captured
a place in the news. Culex pipiens.
the canny black mosquito which folds
its wings and quietly slips through
window screens, has taken Manhattan
for his own. Caterpillars have In
vaded the parks in greater numbers
than the park employees have OBJ
served in many years. The sand flea
swarms in Washington.
1t Is our habit to take the insect
lightly unless we are farmers or fruit
growers. AS a matter OF fact, there
is no animate force in the world with
greater potentiality for destruction
than that contained in the 5000, 900
or more existing species Of insects.
Man has no more powerful enemy.
Happily, nature strikes something of
a balance between the ruin caused by
insects and the positive value which
some of them possess.
Insects cause an amount of damage
ten times greater than that wrought
by fire. The United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture found that the
annual tax imposed by insects upon
the agricultural and timber indus
tries of the country is greater than
the yearly pre-war expenditures Of
the Federal Government. The Hes
sian fly destroys from 10 per cent. to
SO per cent. of the sowings OF wheat.
rye and barley. causing loss of $751;
100000 annually. The Mexican chinch
bug every year kills $50, 900, 900 in
corn. and certain worms which at
tack the corn kill three times as
much again. The loss in cotton
amounts to $4,000. .000 a year. The
damage to live stock caused by in
sects and ticks Is estimated at $420.-
100000. These are only examples.
The remarkable thing about the
| devastations Of insects Is that. not
withstanding mans increased knowl-
edge of what insects do and his sue
cess in devising some means of pro-
lection from them, the economic
losses for which they are responsible
appear to be increc sing.
There are biological reasons for the
insects superior strength. Consider
the success with which insects have
come through the struggle for ex.
istence. Monstrous forms of life have
perished while they have persisted
Long before the plaques in Egypt
they were the enemies OF man. They
possess an Incompatible advantage
in that their growth is at the most a
matter of days and that their power
OF reproduction is beyond oul
computation.
1t is not at all impossible that
insect life will some day overwheln
the earth. Perhaps some hundreds
of thousands Of years hence all oul
dominant sounds will have ceased
and instead of the hum Of innumer
able planes the air will be filled will
j a great buzzing.
