BATTLE ON BUGS
L OUT MANS
EFFORT

A war that never ceases is man
kinds battle to maintain supremacy
over destructive and injurious insect
pests. in which science is pitted
against unbelievable numbers and
species of bugs that would destroy
civilization If not checked.
While chemicals. poisons. insecti-
cides and fire have all played an
important part In this fight. the prin-
cipal battles have been won through
the employment of bug eating bugs.
Two outstanding examples of para
site control through the use of other
parasites are included in A report
recently issued by the federal bu-
g a Of entomology. Ono concerns
the European corn borer and the
other the gypsy moth. two of the
most destructive pests.
Twenty species of corn borer para
sites have been imported into this
country. and II have done remarkable
work In checking The of this
European pest. These parasites at

Some devonr the eggs others eat the
caterpillar and still others destroy

In no instance have these bigs been
found preying on anything else ex-
cepf corn horers or their eggs or
larvae.
About 30 species of insects were
imported before one was found to
