half-wing group, that also suck
blood. This includes the bedbug,
the kissing bug, and others. They,
like mosquitoes, may spread dis
eases to man or other animals
while feeding on them. The para
site forms are generally consid-
cred harmful to man.
The second type of carnivorous
insects are predatory. They are
the ones that feed on other insects
or small animals which they kill
and devour while fresh. There are
many orders represented in this
group and thousands of species.
Only a few of the groups can be
mentioned. Among them are the
dragonflies of the Odonata. They
are also known as mosquito
hawks. They capture many small
insects on the wing All dragon
flies are friends of man because
of this habit.
Among the Diptera are the rob-
berflies which capture other flies
and insects in flight. Among 9TH
er orders are the Coleoptera with
their tiger beetles, frey hunters,
ground searchers, ladybird bee
ties, and others that search for
and devour insects. Among the
Hymenoptera are the hornets that
capture houseflies and others.
Also the ants sometimes capture
and kill other insects.
Praying mantids, commonly
known as mule killers, live on
other insects throughout their
lives. The ant lion, or doodlebug,
captures many ants in their in
verted cone traps. They subsist
chiefly on ants. Lacewings are
our friends by destroying many of
our enemies. One of the strangest
predators is the larva or caterpll-
lar of a moth which feeds on other
soft bodied insects during larval
life but not during adult life.
Scavanger And Omnivorous Type
The scavanger type may be
friend or foe or neither. To begin
this list let us consider the group
that feeds on excreta. In the main
this is a friendly group because
of the sanitary work they do. In
certain exceptional cases, the
germs from excreta may be car
ried on their feet or in their sa-
Iva. In this case, diseases may be
spread by them.
Insects that feed on carrion, If
they do not spread disease, do
much good. They dispose of many
carcasses that would otherwise

torse other than food that may
determine the insect population,
but without the presence of food
there are few, if any, insects.
In the vast majority of cases, it
is the food habits of insects that
determine whether or not any
given species is our friend or our
enemy. In the case of the silk
worm the value of the insect is
not directly related to food hab-
its butAo breeding habits, namely,
the production of silk. The value
of honeybees is related directly
to their feeding habits in the pro-
duction of honey. In many cases,
it is the specific kind of food eat
en- that determines the value rath-
er than the broad type.
Carnivorous Type
Carnivorous insects live on flesh
of other animals. In the case of
parasitic forms, they take food
from other living animals. There
are great variety of insects IN
this group. In the Diptera, or two
winged group, hre mosquitoes,
gnats, midges, stable flies, horse
flies, deer flies and many others

Many insects feed on the de-
composed products of plant tis-
sue This is a helpful process be-
cause, it, too, eliminates many
odors.
There is also a group that feeds
on organic matter in the soil. The
larval stage Of houseflies COM
monty live in the contaminated
soil near houses and barns.
There are biting lice and others
that live on feathers and haid of
animals. The moths that attack
cur woolens can do. considerable
damage.
Omnivorous feeders like cock
reaches eat animal or plant mat
ter wherever they find it.
Vegetarian Types
This is the largest group of all.
It includes most of the orders.
Biting insects and sucking insects
alike, live on plants. Some chew
the roots. others eat stems, still
j more eat the leaves or suck juices
from them. Others, like bees, live
on nectar from the flower while
still others live on the pollen.
Many others attack only the fruits
and seeds.
Termites live on the deadwood
found on or near the ground. Still
other very tiny leaf minors bur-
row into the thin leaves and eat
the soft tissue.
Nothing seems to escape insects.
Tiger beetles, ladybird bee
ties, lacewings, frey hunters and
others capture their food on the
ground or on plants. Many othere
feed on larvae or eggs. In some
,ases the larvae are predators.
Parasites and Scavangers
A parasite is a living thing that
ives on and at the expense of its

There are several species
'f Hymenoptera that lay eggs on

arvae. The eggs hatch and the
avail wasps feed on or in their
losts. This kills the host.
Scavanger insects do as the
lame suggests: They feed on the
bodies of other dead animals.
This helps us because it gets rid
# some of our health hazards.
Many unpleasant odors are elm
mated in this manner.
There are probably many other
ways in which insects help us.
These are ways they help wher-

Progress in Foreign Trade
The Consul gave a brief survey
of progress being made in home
industries and in foreign trade as
follows:
"At the beginning of indepen-
dence, we had no exports except
copra. Today, we have restored our
pre-war production of sugar and
other exports and we are now ex-
porting to the United States and
other world markets. Manila hemp
and cordage are exported not only
to the United States but to the
other parts of the world. Japan,
with whom we resumed normal
trade relations only last July, is
absorbing substantial amounts of
our forest and mineral products.
While our balance of trade is still
unfavorable, from a foreign trade
of IL billion pesos imports and
only half a billion pesos exports in
1916, we now have a foreign trade
of Pr, 400,O00000 = P800 million
imports and P60O million exports.
"New industries in the Philip
pines have been given new impetus
as a result of wise laws enacted
by the Philippine Congress. Many
of the things that were imported
from the United States or other
countries five years ago, are now
manufactured in the Philippines.
With a government price-support,
many agricultural industries have
been expanded. For instance, the
tobacco planters of Northern Luz
