SETS CHECK ON DESTRUCTION
Wonderful Ways by Which Mother
Nature Regulates All Things
Under Her Guidance.

One of natures greatest wonders is
the way in which she sets q check on
destructive insects which would other
wise oVerwhclm vegetation. 1t is no
eXaggerntion to say that we owe the
famous Demerara sugar which comes
from British Guiana, to the activities
of tiny insect parasite, no bigger
than period" In this column. The
great plague of DemerGra sugar fields
Is the moth cane-borer, which Is so
destructive that It would soon ruin
the entire sugar crop II 1t had no en-
enies 10 destroy 1t. Fortunately,
little parasite called the trichogram-
ma exists In the cane fields in myriajs
1t Is SO small that it can scarcely be
seen, but il Is the only thing which can
stop the rarages of the cane borer.
Where the cane borer goes the tricho-
gramma follows, and as soon as the
cane borcr lays its eggs the tricho-
gramma follows, and as soon as the
cane borcr lays its eggs the tricho-
gramma finds them out and DESTROYS
them by laying its own eggs inside
them. In this way the trichogramma
sometimes accounts for IS per cent of
the cane borer's eggs, and the planters,
who are keeDly alive to its value, take
the greatest care when harvesting the
cane not TO injure their tiny helpers.
The trichogramma also does very
good work in preserving the rice and
coconut crops Of the West Indies, und
for its size is probably the most use
full creature in the world.

When an invitation is issued to

incomes during the decade than pre-
vailed during the preceding wears,
these incomes being to 4 considerable
extent invested In added permanent
improvements in the form of build
ingS, fences, siloS, and drainage and
irrigation systems. According to pre-
liminary reports for the census of
1920, mortgage Indebtedness on farms
operated by full owners amounted to
$4,Ol2,1ll,213, as against $I,726l72.-
81 In 1910. The information avail
able concerning the amount and
sources Of farm mortgage loans in
the United States is fragmentary, the
bulletin points out:
A very large percentage Of farm
mortgages Is the result of land trans
fers, the mortgage, like tenancy, form
Ing rung In the agricultural ladder
to farm ownership. The size of the
mortgage naturally tends to bear a
direct relationship to the purchase
price OF the farm. To the extent
that farm mortgages are the result
OF investments in productive perma-
nent improvements and equipment by
existing farm owners, they evidence
progress and not repression. In gen
eral, the increase in farm mortgages
during each decade since data were
first gathered by the census has been
most marked in sections which have
made the greatest progress during
that period. Even where improve
ments are paid for out Of savings in
stead Of with the proceeds of loans
the increased value and price Of
farm Is quite certain to result in a
larger mortgage in case the farm is
transferred to new owner.

How Desert Conditions Arise.

Desert conditions arise In any re-
Eion In which the rainfall Is markedly
less than the amount of water that
Svaporates from the surface. AS the
amount Of evaporation naturally in
c1eases from the polar regions toward
the tropics and Is affected by winds
md elevation, 1t follows that no arbi-
trary amount Of rainfall may be desig-
mated as an invariable cause or ac-
compartment Of arid or desert condi-
tons.
Thus in certain portions Of the trop-
ics a rainfall less than 20 inches re-
suits In aridity, while some of the
most fertile agricultural districts In
the north and south temperate zones
receive scarcely one-third this amount.
