Man Fight t lor Lift
in War With Inttclt
America, more than any other part
of the world, Is engaged In a war for
Its existence against Insects, the nat
ural enemy of man, and their menace
I greater than ever before, declared
Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau
of entymology, In a startling Inter-
view with the American Moguzlne.
America 1 especially threatened by
Insect, continued Doctor Howard, be
cause of It varied climatic condition
and large areas of vegetation planted
contiguously and affording the best
possible feeding grounds for parasite.
"Any farmer, or anyone wuo naa a
little garden In the suburbs and a few
fruit trees ha come to know that he
cannot get a perfect or even near per
fect crop without protective mechan
ical or chemical measures against In
fects," added the entymologlst "When
one buy fruit, vegetable or cereal
product, an Indirect toll Is paid upon
the Insect hordes, which want exactly
what human beings want and are try
ing to crowd n off the earth to feed
their fabulously Increasing families.
"Some Idea of the extent of Hi cost
of Insect I shown from th fact that
tvt0,000.00 worth of wire crecnlng la
fold annually. Orchard growera of
California alone spend $45,000,000 an
nually fighting Insects. The bureau of
entymology spends about $.1,000,000 a
year In field work and scientific Investi
gations to determine what strategy to
use against the enemies, but thla sum
doe not Include special sum to meet
emergencies. The total actual cost of
the Insect warfare I conservatively
$00,000,000 a year.
"To put It more clearly, the damage
wrought by Insect every year In the
United State nullifies tb labor of
1.000,000 men. These material figures
do not even touch upon the lost of
life caused by the G5 kell-known typer
of disease-carrying Insect, which U
