The Ant: DiIiqent Nuisance
BY HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

THE poet who wrote verse
in praise of the ant never
had a sugar canister full of
them. Every spring they in
wade my house by the thou
sands and nc food is safe.
Please tell me what we can
do to control them" Mrs.
c. K. writes.
AnSwer-The easy way to
exterminate ants is to de-
stroy them in their nests.
Using ordinary sprays to kill
a few that you see in your
home is useless because the
queen is producing new ones
faster than you can pump a
spray gun.
Get the queen and you will
eliminate the colony. BY
carefully watching the move
ment Of ants, it usually is
possible to find the nest.
The small, red Pharaoh
and the thief ant may nest
indoors during the winter in
colder climates, and then
move outdoors in the spring.
In warm climates they re-
main outdoors all year. The
job Is to trace their single
file line of traffic to the nest.
When you have fount it,
determination is easy. Our
preference is for a cyanide
powder that can be found in
most garden supply stores.
Use a small pointed stick
and push a hole about eight
inches deep into the center
of the nest. Pour in a few
grains of this powder. then
rake dirt over the hole.
In contact with damp
earth the powder releases
deadly cyanide gas which will
kill every ant in the hill
within seconds. The powder
is safe to use outdoors but
move away from the area
after you have covered the
hole. The gas may kill or
damage grass and shrubbery
within a foot of the anthill.
Never use cyanide indoors.
Chlordane is an insecticide
that is also very effective
against ants and it is espe-
cially good when large nests
cannot be located. This prod
uct can be used as a spray,
drench or dust. A spray
usually is preferable in the
home. 1t is easy to apply and
sticks to vertical surfaces
where ants often crawl.
In the lawn and yard,
chlordane spray or dust can
be applied to nests that you
find. Use a one-quarter per
cent chlordane prepared from
a wettable powder. or a five
per cent chlordane dust.
Chlordane powder can be
sprinkled over the earth and
then thoroughly washed into

the soil with water from the
garden hose. Do not use an
oil base spray in the garden
as it will damage grass and
shrubbery.
Various poison foods are
available for killing ants in
the house when the nest
cannot be located. Most of
these consist of a small
amount of arsenic in a sugar
sirup. The ants. provided
they are the sweet-eating
variety, may be attracted to
this poison which is placed
about the house on bits of
cotton or poured into bottle
caps.
If the food that the ants
are after is more desirable
than the sugar in the poison,
the ants will ignore the poi
son even though it is placed
directly in their path. 1t also
will not attract greaSe-eating
ants. If the ants are at
tracted to the poison, they
will carry it to their nests
for the queen which it also
kills. Grease eating ants
sometimes can be extermi-
mated by rubbing tartar
emetic on bacon fat and
placing this where the ants
can reach it.

air wages to pay labor.

ar wages TO pay LABOR.
IN the afternoon we have hearing; where growers of
sugarcane state their reasons why they should get more
or their products. These people came up with a fnding
that the fair wage and I asked for an increase at that
time for labor even though we we're losing money, know
ng the ~hardships involved, to increase it from the present
minimum wage that was then in effect, from forty to forty
we cents.
Last year the Legislature Of the Virgin Islands
bought it wise, and Justly SO, that since very few of us are
involved in hiring labor, or are in business, to create a
Wage Board to look into all the features of businesses in
the Virgin Island. This Board is represented by two peo-
pie from labor, two from industry and two impartial per-
sons. Hearings are held publicly and everybody has an
opportunity to present his case. Now, in the United States
and everywhere else that / know of that procedure is fol
owed and that is what you call democracy. Every man has
4 opportunity to present his case and his reasoning why
such and such a law should pass or not pass.
That. Board was created by everyone here-there is
, enc missing-We voted unanimously for this board to
) mo effect. The findings, the first findings Of this Board,
3fe out and it became law about two months ago. It
GEMS to me that during those hearings the people of the
Virgin Islands, whom we represent, came before this
board and gave their grievances and their reasons why
hey shouldn't be a raise and why they should have more.
That to me is democracy.
But when we sit in here for political reasons-andI
got to say for political reasons, because every election
year a minimum wage bill comes up. Gentlemen, I am as,
eager as any other person to get the poor mans vote. Last
campaign a big issue was made about me because | voted
"a nst the minimum wage. But | stand for justice Wheth-
It be the small, big or the medium businessman.
Agriculture this year got a terrific lashing. The worst
lashing probably that it has ever had in my years Of ex-
parence and in the history of agriculture, when a man can
cut cane and get five and seven tons to the acre instead Of
~thirty-fve or forty tons as is normally the case.
have heard about bringing in foreign laborers. My
men are all the same to me. i don't care where they come
from, what race they belong to.They are part of the or
,anization and we work together. We don't work to kill
each other, each trying to do as little as possible. And they
fully realize that management has its hardships. | have
heard it said that agricultural laborers are receiving fifty
incentive to get a man to produce more and to have him
feel that he is wanted and that his employer is satisfied
with the work he's doing.
Wehave an expense Of approximately $40 on each
man who is brought in the Virgin Islands each year to take
our crop off; and that is the same expense that the little
man has who hires one or two men. We have to pay their
~ansportation to the Virgin Islands; we have to furnish

tuTe, Mr.. Chairman, goes outsin the field every year and
lit knows the condition of the people. Every one Of US
know it, Mr.. Chairman, and we fee1that when We suggest
that an increase in wages be made,sthe Governor should
take cognizance Of. it, Mr.. Chairman, because he knows
from his own conscience that a man cannot live and sup
port a family on sixty cents an hoursAnd that's all we're
asking, Mr.. ChairnansSixty cents an hour but the COVER
nor has chosen to veto it.
It shows, as said before, he is not sympathetic.

workers to sixty cents an hour. Is that your recommended
ton
MI, GOMEZ No!
Mr.. DE LUGO: Are you going to make such a pro-
posal? A moment ago / heard you saying that we can af-
ford to pay sixty cents to the alien laborer who comes in
to cut sugarcane. Now, we are not going to pay the sixty
cents; it's going to be the native farmer who is going to
have to pay the sixty cents unless Senator Gomez is now
going into the Sugarcane business.
Hope that all of this is in the Record because I heard
some fantastic statements there that
The PRESIDENT: | mink senator, tnat the Sen
ator, in speaking made reference to a ~sixty-cents basic
minimum and I think that was an honest mistake when he
said sixty cents minimum for agricultural labor, because
the bill specifically provides fifty cents for agricultural
labor.
Mr.. Mr.. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Gomez.
Mr.. M Mr.. Chairman, l am simply making it
plain that even sixty cents an hour is too low for agricul
tural labor. That's it.
