THE ARGENTINE ANT

Many people cannot understand why
the ants run in such lines up and down
trees, plants and floral growth of all
descriptions. All trees, shrubbery, etc.
are being constantly preyed upon by
scale insects and Aphids or Plant Lice,
these insects insert their beaks into
the leaves and twigs from which they
suck the sap for their nourishment.
Now these insects secrete a substance
commonly called "honey dew" which
is the ants natural food. During the
late Spring and Summer it is very
hard to attract the ant away from this
food, which is more attractive than
the sweetest syrup 1t is therefore due
to this fact that the late Fall is much
the better time to conduct an Ant
Campaign, as the Scale Insects and
Plant lice are practically dormant and
do not provide sufficient food for the
countless humber of ants that have
been propogated during the Spring
and Summer months. During TINS
time of the year the ants are hunting
for foods of all descriptions and VIII
feed more readily and steadily on the
poisoned syrup contained in the cans
that are to be used in the campaign
in Fitzgerald.
The ants carry this poison as tood
for the Queens and immature stages
in the nest instead of the natural tood
and foods obtained in the houses grad
ually killing off the colonies. The
immature stages of all species OF ants
are unlike those of other insects due
to the fact that they are unable to- tor
age for themselves, but are dependant
upon the "Worker" ants to procure
food and feed them.
The Caterpillar larva of the butter
flv feeds himself from the time ne
leaves the egg stage, the same is true
of al beetle larvae, Diptrons, etc. 1t
is therefore a very easy matter to poi
son them. Immediately the poison is
placed out the worker" ants begin at
once to carry out their death work.
In order however that such a cam
paign be a success, it must cover the
whole area infested. Every household
er in the city should do his bit and
when he does the work will be done.
1t takes money to do it, considera
bic sum for the whole territory but
a small amount from each home will
put il over.

Georgia. Producers
Have Like Interests
Farmer Is Partner With Utility in
Common Cause of Creating Pri-
mary Wealth of the State

There is a closely knit bond of mu-
tual interest between the farmers of
Georgia and the public utility COM
panies which makes of them an eco
uomic unit 1t is fact worthy of in
vestigation and study. Let us see.
Both are producers of essential,
primary wealth. Both are subject for
prosperity to the same natural laws.
Where other forms of industry deal
with the conversion of raw materials
into finished products, the farmer and
the public utility company produce
those raw materials. That is, they re-
lease and combine the naturual forces
which produce. This is as close as
man has been able to come to the
act of creation.
The farmer and the public utility,
then, may both call themselves by the
proud name of creators.
Consider:
(a) The farmer prepares the soil,
sows his seed, cultivates and finally
gathers the ripened crop and distri-
butes it.
(b) The public utility builds its
power house or gas plant and pro-
duces energy in the form of electrici-
tv or gas and distributes it.
Both make use of certain natural
forces for the benefit of the world and
incidental benefit to themselves. Es-
sentia1ly. actually. there is no differ
ence between the utility's service and
that of the farmer to- the people of
Georgia. Both deal in fundamentals
of material life; both may be termed
Alchemists creating what others must
have in order to live or work or
achieve or to build
When the fact of this partnership
this community of interests fully
understood we will have removed
from Georgia's pathway to progress
its greatest single obstacle. For the
first obligation of any partnership is
a willingness to understand and to
work together.
