Usually the termite colony is underground, the authors point out. In their search for food, the workers infest buildings by one or more of the following means: They enter through direct contact between wood and soil, as in the case of porches, door sills, etc.; through existing cracks or hollows in masonry base ments, foundations or walls; by means of. covered runways which they build over the surface of wood, masonry, pipes or other materials they are unable to penetrate; or through storage of infested wood in cellars or under porches. They do not infest buildings by crawling up the walls or flyink in open windows or doors. They must have moisture and Q supply of cellulose to support life, and they cannot live exposed to sun and air for long time.
 After taking up the various means of control that are tried, the authors conclude that construction is the only method that has been proved permanently effective in keeping termiteS out of houses.

TERMITES SWARM.
 INTO NAUCATUCK
HOuseholders in Many Parts of State Report
 InfestatiOns

Termites are swarming again in Connecticut. From all parts of the state come reports of infested build ings. During the past few weeks the experiment station at New Haven has had calls from 13 towns in- cluding: Warren, Naugatuck, New town, New Haven, Bridgeport, Vest port, Greenwich, Simsbury, Hamden, Hartford, Branford, Cromwell and Litchfield.
 In response to each of these the station sends a copy of Bulletin 382, "Termite Control in Buildings in Connecticut" by Nicely Turner and J. F. Townsend. This illustrated handbook contains brief chapters on the history and habits of the eastern subterranean termite; dis cussion of various methods of con- trol including soil and wood treat ment; metal shields and construc- tion; recommendations for Connect icut conditions, and finally details of termite- resistant construction. The authors are members of Dr. w. E. Britton'S chronological staff at the station and have made special stuy of termites and termite-infes- ted buildings in this state. Their bulletin is based on findings as 8 result of their experiences here, and on the research of experts who have spent years in the study of termite control in many parts of the world.
 These men emphasize the fact that the winged termites that swarm in houses at this season and are fre- quently mistaken for winged ants, do little harm. Most of themdie and very few succeed in establishing a new colony as they aim to do on emerging from the old colony. The importance of noting these swarms is that they indicate an infested property. The termites that actually injure the woodwork, books, clothing or other cellulose-bearing materials, are seldom seen. They are the small whitish, blind workers of the colony, whose duty it is to obtain food for the queen, the young termites and the soldiers. They keep under cover, either within the wood, in their tunnels or runways built over objects they are unable to penetrate or underground.
