which they capture and devour.
Because of their predaceous
food habits they have come into
ill repute among many people
who do not understand the nee
essary role they play in the main
tenance of balance in nature.
The balance they help to maintain
is necessary for the well being of
all species concerned.
Many different classes OF ami

tory species of their kind. Among
those we hear most about are the

Some entire families and even
orders composed of more than

One OF the reasons that MissiS-
lsippi leads the nation in the NUM-
Der of Tree Farms is that the
pulpwood- using industries OF the
State have encouraged people
from all walks of life to become
tree farmers.
And one of the ways in which
these people are aided in their Ell
forts in reclamation of waste land
is the distribution of free tree
seedlings.
In this way otherwise unpro-
ductive lands are put to work 70

mics, are beconine serious pests
in the states bordering the Cult
OF Mexico. Drastic methods may
have to be used to control them,
or their enemy predators released
to control them.
Birds
The most widely known preda-
TORS among the birds are the ea-
giles, hawks and owls. Everyone
has heard stories of harm done by
these birds. The stories are fre-
quently told in such way as to
leave the impression the bird in
question spends its life doing
damage to useful birds or man.
mails.
If all of these predatory birds
were condemned because of the
stories told, and were extermin-
ated, the region would soon be
over run by the rabbits, rats,
mice and other small animals on
which they feed, and winch they
help to control.
Some states already have pass
ed laws designed to protect all OF
these predators except great
horned owls, also called boot owls
goshawks and Cooper's hawks.
There is not only need for laws
passed and game protectors en-
ployed to enforce the law, but
need for education to enhghten
the people to seek the truth about
predators and weigh the evidence.
When this happens, it will not
only be a better day for the pre-
dators but also for the people. We
will all profit from the good work
of the predators.
An incident of recent years will
illustrate how erroneous beliefs
get started. The operator of a
broiler plant believed hawk had
been taking his ! chicks When
hawk was seen to catch some
thing III the broiler house and fly

Many animals are onnivorous.
balancing their diet between
plants and animals. Such species,
may be predaceous at times. This
group includes domesticated pets,
bears, and people.
Mammals
Among the mammals that hunt
other animals, the feline family
usually is thought of first be-
cause it has the reputed King OF
Beasts the lion. Other well
known members of this family are
tigers, ieopards and many other
foreign species. The two widely
distributed forms in the United
States are the bobcat or wildcat,
and the mountain lion, also known
as the panther Of painter, cata-
mount, puma, and perhaps other
local names. Occasionally seen
species of localized areas are the
ocelot, jaguar and lynx.
The canine family includes such
North American forms as red fox,
kit fox, gray fox, arctic fox, coy
ote, gray or timber wolf and RED
or black wolf. While these ami
mails do damage to livestock and
poultry, their chief diet is made
up of wild animals as rabbits, ro-
dents and deer.
The coyote illustrates the group
fairly well. His food consists
largely Of jack rabbits. He helps
control rabbits, ground squirrels
aand rats. If man, in his attempt
to control the coyote, reduces
them too much, the rabbits and
other rodents multiply very rap
idly. They now become pests and
do more damage to the range than
if kept under control by the coy
ote. The cost of destroying the
lack rabbits exceeds the loss the
coyote would have caused. There
fore it is better not to extermlnate
the coyote.
Similar cases can be found FOL
the other members of the canine
and feline families.
Minks, weasels and offers serve
not ONLY as fur bearers but to con
troll others. In some areas musk
rats are kept under control by the
predatory action of minks.

We lived in the area for
two years in Newton, Mass.
This area is convenient to
Boston by highway and is
residential. Schools are ex-
cellent and much better
than those in Bethesda or
Silver Spring.
The two top students in
the most recent Science
Talent Contest we're Newton
students. Newton is adjacent
to Route 1913, the belt
throughway around Boston
and thus is far ahead of
other areas. Another adj
vantage is the town lake
which is open for swimming
and swimming instruction
during the summer season.
Taxes are $45 per $1,000
compared to the $82 in Bos-
ton.
Another excellent COM
munity is Needham, which is
Just south of Newton. The
schools here are also fine and
there is a town lake for
swimming. Housing costs and
taxes are a little lower than
in Newton.

About a month ago some

had any ideas on how to keep
moisture from running walls.
So far I have seen no reply
and would appreciate very
much hearing from anyone
who can offer suggestions.
The paint flakes off the walls
in large segments and even
tually comes of in sizeable
patches. So far, a paint job
has lasted only a little over
a year.
I might add this is partic-
ularly noticeable on the Sec
ond floor. The walls are plas-
ter on brick with no air space
in between.

Ant Problem

MIS-. y. r. H., hOckDItLe
Could someone please help
me2 I'm being driven mad by
ants. I see them mostly in
our living room over the fire.
place. They are gone for a
few days and then they're
back. We always see them
when we build a fire in the
fireplace.
Is it possible that they are
in the cement foundation of
the fireplace? What can I do?
I have four small children
and a very curious dog so I
can't use anything that would
harm them. Thank you in
advance for any suggestions.
