This cooperation of plant and in

However, man does not interfere

SO the two continue to do business
Eat the old stand"
This partnership was discovered in
1872 by Prof. Riley. He found that
various species of yucca would perish
without the aid of this little white
moth. Then he worked out for us
the wonderful story that exists be-
tween these two outdoor neighbors.
The moth pictured here has the
Eastern part Of the United States as
her territory, and her cousin, Yucca

You'll never want it to happen a Sec

"Of course. see it," replied the
young Fox.
Watch it," said the young Skunk.
''It is up straight now, all but the tip

there was anything about this little
stranger to be afraid of, but he could
see that the little stranger was not

The Bold One was undecided. Some
how he felt If he yielded to one so
much smaller than himself he would
lose his self-respect. One swift spring
and he could pin this impudent little
fellow to the ground, helpless. He set
his feet to make that spring. Then he
hesitated. His eyes were on that big
plume of tail, and it had begun to
come forward over the little strangers
back The Bold One waited as long
as he dared; then he stepped aside.
He had decided, wisely, that he didn't

The young Skunk went on about
his business, looking for fat Beetles.
The young Fox looked after him and
wondered. What did 1t mean? He
must find out. He must find out why
this little black-and-whit stranger
was so fearless, so confident of his own
powers. So the Bold One, not at all
bold now, but very cautious, stole along
down that old path behind the little
stranger, taking care that the latter
should not know he was being fol-

TAR up in the Old Pasture two
- young people were regarding
each other. 1t was just dusk.
In an old, little-used path the
Young Fox who had left home to go
out into the Great World had met a
young Skunk who also had started out
into the Great World. The path was
narrow. II they were to pass, one or
the other must step out of the path.
The young Fox could see no reason
why he should do this. He was con-
siderably bigger and stronger than the
young Skunk. Nevertheless, the young
Skunk seemed to be not at all dis
turbed by this fact. He had calmly
asked the young Fox to step aside, and
that to the young Fox was hardly less
than an insult.
The young Fox, called the Bold One,
became threatening. The young Skunk
gave him a warning. He told the
Bold One that if he should make an
attack he would be sorry for a long
time afterward. This reminded the
young Fox of his meeting with a
young Porcupine and the mistake ne
had made of trying to make the latter
get out of his way. This young
Skunk looked harmless, but so, for that
matter, had the young Porcupine.
What can you do?" demanded the
young Fox.
IT can take care of myself" replied
the young Skunk. If you think you
can scare me, think again. I'm not
afraid of you. I'm not afraid of any
one. I'm not boasting, either. If you

first one, and food supply added. She
may fill up the yucca seed box with
eggs and pollen, or about six eggs and
food to see the youngsters through
their first days of infancy.
This act Of hers, as you can see,
assures the plant fresh pollen and
cross-fertilization, which will produce
sturdy seeds.
The eggs hatch. The infants soon
consume some of the developing seeds.
There are so many Of them that those
left are the stronger for the loss OF
q few. When the youngsters are OF
full size they have three pairs OF
thoracic legs. These are Of great use
in burrowing.
They cut their way out of their
nursery and drop to the ground. Here
they dig themselves q cell and un-
dergo the transformation into the
pupal state. In the chrysalis form,
their backs seem to be armed with
spikes; these have their special use.
for they enable the moth to work
It's way through the loose soil ana

ture crawls from the tight casket 1t
had constructed to be safe in while
the miracle took place.
If YOU know of a yucca plant in
bloom this Summer, call on her at
twilight with a fiashlight. The freshly
opened flowers are the ones to OBJ
serve. Later, when the seeds are
developing, investigate a few of them
to see If they are occupied. The oc-
cupants are lively creatures If dis
turbed, but wholly harmless. When
they drop to the ground from their
flower home they dig In close to the
plant, and this is where they will
emerge when the yucca Is again In
bloom.
