We're Living In
The Age Of Beetles
You may think you are living
in the Space Age. Not so. This,
says Edwin Way Teale in his la-
test book "The Strange Lives of
Familiar Insects," is the Age of
Beetles. Of the 900,000 forms of
animal life in the world today at
least 685,000 are insects and al-
most one out of every three spe-
cies of insects catalogued by nat-
ural science is a beetle — some
277,000 for the entire world with
a history going back 200 million
years or more into the past,
What is more, each insect appears
in several forms during its ca-
reer. Of all living creatures on
the face of the earth fully nine-
tentha are insects.
Yet we know very little about
them, adcoecling to this popular
naturalist. His latest volume, ile

I did reflect a mite about
school teachers who face the task
of inculcating poetic canoe-
building in pupils wiv have no
opportunity to go out and look
at trees, and in particular I re-
flected on Longfellow, who might
just as well have made his canoe
from a hornbeam, as far as some
people would care. The young
lady said, "Ws a pretty tree

We pulled up at the sugar
house and gave everything a
look the open spring before it
was filled with leaves, and we
had to clean it and then wait for
the water to clear before we
could get a drink, and we found
some stalwart hunter had suc-
ceeded in blowing the door on
the sugar house into splinters
with two wonderful shots. He
must have stood all of ten feet
away, and the little pellets pep-
pered the outside before they
broke through and shredded the
inside all over everything,
This kind of marksmanship is
about like slapping a squash pie
with a canoe paddle, and we
stood there and admired the
mental level of whoever this
hunter was. He must be a fine
addition to his family, and ad-
mired by all. We discussed the
great joy that must have welled
tip in him as he stealthily came
down the woodroad and 'found a
house to shoot at, We swept out
the slivers, and made sure no-
thing in the camp had any water
in it for freezing, replaced the
latch-peg in the battered door
and continued on.
We spotted a couple of stately
firs, should occasion later require
holiday ornaments, and we found
a mushroom as big as a, basket-
ball on a stump. We saw a hen
pheasant run along and jump up
on a low limb, and while she sat
there and looked at us, we sat
there and looked at her. Later
we saw something even better,
We saw a cock grouse, We had
shut the tractor down and had
walked through the pines out to
the lower line, and I perceived
a twitch, somehow, in the puck-
erbrueh, and pointed, She wasn't
sure if she really saw what I
was pointing at or not, but she
thought she did, and I told her
to be ready for a big surprise
but to walk slowly toward the
spot, When he took off it was
like a flock of sonic booms, and
he didn't hang around to see if
we liked the way he did it.
It was past dinner time when
we got back to the house. There
was a beef stew waiting, and new
bread and apple pie, and she said
she supposed it would be better
if she went home, because her
mother might be wondering
where she was. When, she found,
her mother knew all about this
Saturday morning in the woods,
she turned to and ate and. ate,

I said I would be more than
happy for the -company of an im-
pressionable young f e m a le
through whose eyes I might look
again at sortie of the things
hadn't seen lately,
My 'own two used to clamber
aboard the tractor when I struck
out, and I always had the notion
it was a family quirk, but this'
young lady did it the same way.
She could have ridden in the
trailer, but instead she climbed
up over the drawbar, hooked a
heel behind something, and
dangled, This brought her close
to my back, so we could talk
• comfortably as we rode along,
and there began .the what's-this's
and what's-that's that brought..
me again into the morning of
affairs, The child is father of the
man, I always say.
First, we found a down maple
across the lane, victim of some
summer blow, and we had to
whack it clear. On the way home
we'd toss it into the trailer, for
the woodpile. It was a swamp
maple, not the kind we tap for
sugar, so I had to show her how
the leaves are different, and so
is the bark, and the limbs have
an angle of their own. This led
to a discussion of trees, and why
we have so many kinds, and
what makes one good for one
thing and another another, and
I said, "Do you know what that
yellow one is?"
This time of .year the hackma-
tacke are- yellow, and in a few
days they will drop their spills,
and this always surprises every-
body who thinks a hackmatack is
'an evergreen. "So it's decidu-
eue," she said. I said "Yes, and
o you. remember how Hiawatha.
Made. his canoe?" She said, Oh,
Surely I am not alone in my
feeling of delight, mingled with
awe, at the sight of the season's
first snowflakes, for they recall
to my mind, with their soft, white
rush to the earth, all that I know
and wonder about their origin
and their effect on the world we
live in. Perhaps no element of the
weather provokes such contrast-
ing emotions as snow ... But re-
gardless of our feeling about it,
it follows from year to year a
fairly regular pattern of distribu-
tion in time and place,
Late in August the blanket of
snow begins to creep out from its
summer hiding place in Green-
land onto the' ice floes of the
Polar Sea and onto the Canadian
Arctic islands, bringing to an end
the brief summer of those lonely
stations — Eureka, Isachsen, Re-
solute, and others. Quickly it
sweeps across Ellesmere, Banks,
Victoria, and Baffin Islands, and
onto the Canadian mainland.
With no slackening of pace it
crosses the Arctic Circle and
speeds southward down over the
Northwest Territories and Hud-
son Bay to the northern limit of
trees. From here on its rate of
advance lessens, but by the first
of December it will have cover-
ed practically the whole of. Can-
ada.
While the edge of this huge
snow cover is streaking across
Canada, smaller, isolated snow
blankets begin to appear on the
highlands far to the south'--- the
mountains of central Quebec, the
Adirondacks, the White Moun-
tains, and many others. In some
of the ranges of the Rockies these
outposts appear on the attinmits
and begin to move downward
about the time the edge of the
main snow blanket crosses the
Arctic Circle, sometimes even
earlier. Perhaps they have to
make several starts before they
become established for the sea-
son.
It is a curious fact that man
has raised some of his structures
to such heights that upon occa-
sion they, too, bear a temporary
snowcap. Tops of tall city build-
ings in middle latitudes are
sometimes pelted by flying snow-
flakes that otherwise would be
converted to drops of rain before
they reach the streets far below.
On Nov, 3', 1958, while rain fell
on the rest of New York City,
two to three inches of snow fell
on the Empire State Building.
Were you, perhaps, among those
hurrying through the rain in the
streets, unaware that snow was
falling anywhere within miles of
the city, while the guards on the
observation platform, 1,000 feet
above, were making snowballs?

Tames L. Dyson.
The best safeguard against the
invader is to store only dry grain
which, besides being less suitable
for the beetle's development, is a
more saleable product.
However, in the Prairie Prov-
inces, grain may have 15 per
cent or more moisture when
stored, depending on weather at
harvest and on the maturity of
the crop, * *
If the grain heats and the
temperature does not go down in
four to six weeks, the grain can
be augered onto the ground and
cooled for 24 hours or so before
return to storage. A means of
drawing cool air through the
bulk in the granary is being in-
vestigated ge an alternative to
unloading the granary, reports
Dr. Smith,
* *
Temperature has a great in-
fluence on the life of the rusty
grain bettle. Between 90° and
100°F. it develops from egg to
adult in 24 days; at 68°F. this
growth takes 90 days and, below
68°F. the pest dies before reach-
ieg adulthood,
After a few months in Storage
the moisture content of grain
usually drops to 14 percent or
lower and at such temperatures.
the grain is fairly safe from mold.
and insect damage, Keeping it
dry reduces beetle damage and
helps to maintain market value.
Damp, green, weed seeds in the
grain may promote heating of the
bulk in spots unless they can be
evenly distributed, by spreading
the grain as it is angered into
storage.

A Family Tours
By Way Of ,Camels!
A few times in a year we ac-
companied, father on tour, This
was. the greatest event of all.
The night before, a string of
camels would arrive at the bun-
galow to load the baggage,
which meant practically half the
household. First the office' desk
would be dismantled, and in the
drawers of the two cupboards of
the desk were carefully packed
files, stationery, red and black
inkpots, drawing instruments,
pens, pencils, diaries and paper-
weights. The cupboards would
be slung over a camel and the
desk-board tied on top. On the
other camels were loaded the
trunks, bed. rolls, crates contain-
ing cooking utensils, crockery
and glass, foodstuff and luggage
of the staff, There was much
commotion in loading the camels
as each animal was made to sit
down to strap the baggage, Will-
ing and patient as camels are,
they grumble a great deal when
they are made to it or get up,
and keep up a constant barrage
of protesting noises.
When the caravan was ready,
the barquandaz with his sword
in scabbard would stand in front
of the first camel, which had a
bell and a lantern hanging, from
its neck, and at a signal from
him the train started, accom-
panied by the guards and fol-
lowed by the servants and fath-
er's riding. horse, The first
camel as the flagship carried the
khazana, the chest with Money;
which was to be disbursed in
peytnente and salaries. With the
solitary swaying light and the
tinkling of the bell the cameleade
travelled through. the silent night
and arrived at destination in the
early hours of the retaining.

Winter—with the snow deep on
the ground—is the time to launch
the offensive in the annual war
against mosquitoes.
An increasing number of com-
munities are demanding action
to control the pest. This can be
most easily done by treating
pools and stagnant water with
chemicals to kill mosquitoes in
the wriggler stage.
*
But it doesn't necessarily mean
waiting for the spring hatching
period, says L. C. Curtis of Can-
ada Department of Agriculture's
research station at Kamloops,
B.C.
In rough areas where there is.
no danger to humans or wildlife,
granular DDT can be spread on
the snow, Permitting treatment
of breeding places months in
advance of the hatching period,
Pools and swamps, mapped out
during the previous season, can
be reached easily when the
ground is frozen..
*
Treatment of dry ground the
previous fall also is effective,
Curtis points out.
'rhplan offers other advan-
tages;
—Granules, because they do
not lodge on leaves or twigs like
sprays and dusts, are safer to use
in areas browsing animals might
enter.
—0Ver large areas, the treat-
ment is more thorough than
when it is confined to the few
days when wrigglers are most
easily killed.
* O *
At Kamloops, application of
five per cent granular DDT at a
rate of 20 pounds per acre proved
satisfactory in controlling the
pest, Curtis reports,
Granular DDT consists of a
special clay that has been passed
through a wire mesh and then
impregnated with the insecticide.
The DDT is released when the
snow melts and the granules sink
into the water.
Use of a hand seeder is recom-
mended for applications in small,
scattered areas; for large areas,
granules should be spread .from
an aircraft or by means of an air
gun mounted on a jeep. Granules
containing 30 to 50 per cent DDT
and used at e correspondingly
lower rate than the five per cent
DDT are recommended for most
efficient application front a plane.
Some provinces have legisla-
..tion governing the use of chemi-
cals in water—including larvi-
cides—and anyone planning mos-
quito control measures should
Make sure they will not violate
regulations, Curtis warns,
