Butterflies and Ecshs

Butterflies and moths employ the
short time assigned to them in q
variety of ways, writes Prof. J. f.
Furbay, Phi, D., in the Missouri
Farmer. They never have the re-
Sponsibility of rearing their fam
lilies, as do many other animals.
They lay their eggs and this is the
end of their duty TO their offspring.
The only precaution they take is to
lay these eggs on the kind of food,
or near the kind of food, on which
the caterpillars will want to feed
when they hatch from the eggs.
The rest of their short life is spent
in quest of sweet foods among the
flowers, or in quest of their mates.

Allow Coral to Grow

The necessity for conservation of
natural resources is recognized by
the Algerian coral industry. The
Algerian coral reefs are divided in:o
ten regions, only one of which is
dredged each year. This allows
each reef a period of ten years be-
tween dredgings in which to recu-
perate through the action of the
tiny polyps which are responsible
for the growth Of the coral struc-
lures.
