HOW TO GET RID
OF TERMITES
Ants and Termites Often
Mistaken One For
the Other
THERE is A DIFFERENCE

Ants or termites-which are
they? Those black, winged critters
that often swarm in hundreds
around the windows and doors in
early spring are often mistaken
one for the other.
County Agent George Vapaa ex-
plains that the mature termite has
a black body that is not construct
ed at the waistline, with four long,
gray wings of equal length which
are at least twice as long as the
body. Ants have a wasp-like waist
line and wings of unequal length
which are only slightly longer than
the body.
Although termites cause con-
siderable damage, they do not
cause a sudden destruction of in
tested buildings. 1t usually takes
colony of termites number of
years to cause extensive damage.
Since they nest in the soil
and the workers do not come out
in the open, termites are seldom
noticed except when they swarm
in the spring or until extensive
damage is done to the timbers.
When a building becomes in
tested, the first thing to do, Vapaa
informs is to locate the area where
the colony is nesting. Scrape loose
the earther tubes through which
they travel. This will temporarily
break the contact between the
colony and their food supply.
Replace badly infested and dam
aged wood, then use suitable
chemicals to eradicate the colony.
Chemical treatments do not give
permanent protection but will Kill
those in the colony and will also
offer additional protection for a
period of about five years.
Entomologists at the University
of Delaware recommend any of the
following ternite control treat
ments:
Chlordane-Mix 2 pounds of so
per cent wettable powder in 10
gallons of water. Since this materi-
al is not diluted with oil, 1t may
be used for treating soil around
plants or in the vicinity of plant
roots without causing serious in
jury to plants. Use this mixture
at the rate of s gallons per 10
linear feet of trench.
DDT-Mix 1 part of rs per cent
DOT emulsion with parts of fuel
oil. Use this mixture at the rate
of s gallons per 10 linear feet of
trench.
Pentachlorophenol = Use this
material as a per cent solution
at the rate of 5 to 10 gallons per
10 linear feet of trench.
Creosote-Mix l part creosote
with parts of fuel oil. Use about
10 gallons of this mixture to 10
linear feet of trench.
To apply these soil poisons, dig
a trench one foot wide and 21s
feet deep along the foundation wall
in the vicinity of the colony. Make

is why we repeat without ceasing
that God and His Christ afford

The Western world, with its

this Faith in God and In His
Son, Jesus Christ. At its best,
our civilization was the fine
Towering of the Christian Faith.
Now that the West has fallen

recognize that it is because SO

human life can be summed up
in the three luminous PROPOSE

The most perfect revelation of
God to man is made in His Son,
Jesus Christ. He is Emmanuel,
God with us. just as the Creator
brought light and order to the
ancient chaos at the dawn OF

Jesus Christ, restored light and

road of happiness through har-
mony with God, with fellowmen,
and with himself. Jesus Christ
restored meaning and purpose
and love to human life; He
warmed and illumined our life
where before it had been cold
and dark. He rescued man from
the wild wandering and the
black despair of the atheistic
materialism of that day In this
day of the new paganism, we
Christians can again triumph in
the sign of the same Cross OF

Juveniles Plagued

Mostly the youths simply
