insects are held in check by
natural forces. without any in
tervention by man. If this were
not so, it is doubtful that any
conceivable volume of chemi-
cals-or any other methods
could possibly keep down their
populations.
The trouble is that we are
seldom aware of the protection
afforded by natural enemies
until 1t fails. Most of us walk
unseeing through the world,
unaware alike of its beauties,
its wonders, and the strange
and sometimes terrible inten-
sity of the lives that are being
lived about us. So 1t is that
the activities of the insect pre-
dators and parasites are known
to few.
The predators-insects that
kill and consume other insects
are of many kinds. Some are
quick and with the speed Of
swallows snatch their prey
from the air. Others plod me-
thodically along a stem, pluck
ing off and devouring seden-
tary insects like the aphids.
The yellowjackets capture soft
bodied insects and feed the
juices to their young.
Muddauber wasps build col
umned nests Of mud under the
caves of houses and stock them
with insects on which their
young will feed.
LadybugS or lady beetles are
among the most effective de-
stroyers of aphids, scale in
sects. and other plant-eating
insects. Literally hundreds of
aphids are consumed by a single
ladybug to stoke the little fires
of energy which she requires
to produce even a single batch
Of eggs.
Even more extraordinary in
their habits are the parasitic
insects. These do not kill their
hosts outright. Instead, by q
variety Of adaptations they uti-
lie their victims for the nur-
ture of their own young. They
may deposit their eggs within
the larvae or eggs of their prey,
so that their own developing
young may find food by con-
suming the host. Some attach
their eggs to a caterpillar by
means of a sticky solution; on
Matching, the larval parasite
bores through the skin of the
host. Others, led by an instinct
that Stimulates foresight, merely
lay their eggs on leaf so that
a browsing caterpillar Will eat
them inadvertently.

Eleventh Of q Series

said the Dutch biologist c. j.
Briejer. Nothing is impossible
to it; the most improbable things
commonly occur there. One
who penetrates deeply into its
mysteries is continually breath
less with wonder. He knows
that anything can happen, and
that the completely impossible
often does"
The impossible" is now hap
pening on two broad fronts,
BY a process Of genetic selec-
ton, the insects are develop
ing strains resistant to chem
icals. But the broader problem,
which we shall look at now,
is the fact that our chemical
attack is weakening the de-
lenses inherent in the environ
ment itself, defenses designed
to keep the various species in
check. Each time we breach
these defenses a horde Of in
sects pours through.
Troubles Mount
From all over the world come
reports that make 1t clear we
are in a serious predicament.
At the end Of a decade or more
Of intensive chemical control,
entomologists were finding that
problems they had considered
solved a few years earlier had
returned to plague them. And
new problems had arisen as in
sects once present only in in
significant numbers had in
creased to the status Of serious
pests.
BY their very nature chemi-
cal controls are Self-defeating,
for they have been devised and
applied without taking into ac-
count the complex biological
systems against which they
have been blindly hurled. The
chemicals may have been pre-
tested against a few individual
species, but not against living
communities.
In some quarters nowadays
1t Is fashionable to dismiss the
balance of nature as a state Of
affairs that prevailed in an
earlier. simpler world-a state
that has now been so thor
oughly upset that we might as
well forget it. Some find this
a convenient assumption, but
as q chart for q course Of ac-
ton 1t is highly dangerous.
The balance of nature is not
the same today as In Pleisto-
Gene times, but it is still there /:
q complex, precise. and highly
integrated systems of relation
ships between living things
which cannot safely be ignored
any more than the law of
gravity can be defied with i'm
punity by a man perched on
the edge Of q cliff.
The balance of nature is
not a status quo; it is fluid,
ever shifting, in a constant
state of adjustment. Man. too,
is part Of this balance. Some
times the balance is in his
favor; sometimes-and all too
often through his own actlvi-
test is shifted to his dis
advantage.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-06

But 1t is happening, here and
now. Scientific journals had al
ready recorded some so species
involved in violent dislocations
of natures balance by 1858.
More examples are being found
every year. A recent review of
the subject contained ref
erences to 215 papers reporting
or discussing unfavorable up
sets In the balance of insect
populations caused by pesticides.
Sometimes the result Of
chemical spraying has been a
tremendous upsruge Of the very
insect the spraying was in

dart and the sun strikes fire
from their wings.
Or there, almost invisible
against a leaf, is the lacewing,
with green gauze wings and
golden eyes, shy and secretive,
descendant Of an ancient race
that lived in Permian times.
The adult lacewing feeds
mostly on plant nectars and
the honeydew of aphids, and
In time she lays her eggs, each
on the end of a long stalk
which she fastens to a leaf.
From these emerge her chill
dren- strange, bristled larvae
called aphis lions, which live
by preying on aphids, scales,
or mites, which they capture
and suck dry Of fluid. Each
may consume several hundred
aphids before the ceaseless
turning of the cycle Of its life
brings the time when 1t will
spin a white silken cocoon in
which to pass the pupal stage.
Through the circumstances
Of their lives, and the nature
Of our own wants, all these
have been our allies In keeping
the balance of nature tilted In
our favor. Yet we have turned
our artillery against our
friends. The terrible danger is
that we have grossly underes-
timated their value in keeping
at bay a dark tide Of enemies
that, without their help, can
overrun us.
The prospect of a general and
permanent lowering of environ
mental resistance becom e S
grimly and increasingly real
with each passing year as the
number, variety, and destruc-
tiveness Of insecticides grows.
With the passage of time we
may expect progressively more
serious outbreaks Of insects,
both disease-carrying and CROP
destroying species. in excess of
anything we have ever known.
Eyes, but isn't this all the
oretical?" you may ask. Surely
1t won't really happen-not in
my lifetime, anyway"

Steering Problem

Helming a boat in a narrow
channel for the first time often
is a bewildering experience to
otherwise skillful boat handlers.
Recently I was aboard a
small cabin cruiser operated by
an acquaintance who has
logged years Of experience on
the ocean or in bays with
channels meandering through
marshy areas with gently re-
ceding banks or grassy shadows.
We had entered a reasonably
deep canal with high banks and
considerable water depth to
within a foot or two of shore.
We were proceeding at about
Is miles an hour when we
spotted a boat approaching
from the opposite direction. My
friend steered his fairly deep
draft boat to within 3 or 4 feet
OF the step shelving bank to
starboard in order to give the
other boat plenty of room.
Suddenly our boat sheered off

applies right rudder while ap-
plying full throttle to the port
engine.
In narrow cuts or channels
where bank action on steering
may be expected, proceed
when possible in the middle
of the channel. When ap-
preaching another boat be
alert and prepare to make cor
rections. Approach other craft
at reduced speed but not to an
extent that steering is lost.
When drawing nearly abreast
of an approaching craft, apply
right rudder. AS you come fully
abeam, gradually center the
rudder as bow action of the
passing boats will offset bank
effects.
The action Of waves push
ing back from bridge bulk
heads also effects steering.
When helming under a bridge,
steer a mid course between
the bulkheads.
When turning a sharp bend
in a narrow channel, bank eff
feet must be given particular
consideration and the problem
is increased if strong current
prevails. River and canal cur
rents are intensified at bends
and there may be counter cur
rents on the lee or protected
side of the bend eddying away
from the true direction of the
current.
Control is easiest moving
into the current. When you
are helming with the current
astern, approach turns on the
outer side. Bank cushion effect
will tend to turn your boats
bow toward the inner side of
the channel. Correct for this
to prevent being caught in
eddies which may exist around
the point.
