Is That So?
Below us in the ground,
around us in the trees and
shrubs, above us in the air there
are countless insects for every
square mile of the earths' sur
face, there are probably two
billion insects!
Fortunately, more than 95 per
cent are beneficial to man and
those few which are destructive
are preyed upon by beneficial
insects.
In all forms of agriculture in
sects play an important role in
fertilizing and aeriating the soil
and assisting in the pollination
of such plants as clover and al
falfa, apples and cherries, onions
and potatoes.
In addition to helping supply
us with vegetables, fruits and
berries,' they also supply man
indirectly with fooa: the clover
cattle eats is converted into
O-jUt.Cf
milk, cream, cheese and even
steaks; the insects chickens eat
to augment their diet, goes into
eggs and roast .chickens; the
mosquitoes a frog consumes goes
into a dish of froglegs; the cad
dis larvae at the bottom of the
stream go into the gullets of
fresh-water gamefish, including
young salmon, and make can
ned salmon possible.
Besides this, the honeybee sup
plies us directly with millions
of pounds of honey to sweeten
our fare. Before the advent of
cane, beet and maple syrup,
honey was the only sweetening
agent in common use. And bees
wax,, secreted as thin scales or
flakes by glands on the under
side of the Worker bee's abdo
men, is used extensively in in
dustry to help manufacture car
bon paper, floor waxes and fur
niture polishes, shaving creams,
cold creams, electrical insula
tion, colored pencils, and boot
waterproofing.
Silk-Worm's Role
Another "domesticated in
sect, the silk-worm which was
first cultivated extensively in
the Far East performs an even
greater role in clothing mankind
with silk.
In southeastern Asia there is
an insect, the lac, whose secre
tions produce shellac for which
no true substitute has yet been
developed in India alone, this
constitutes a $30,000,000 trade
with the U.S.
A relative of this lac, a para
site on prickly pear, is the coch
ineal which manufactures with
in its-body a beautiful red dye
which is nonpoisonous. This dye
is used extensively : in lipsticks

and rouge; for coloring medi
cines and beverages in cake and
cookie frostings. It takes about
70,000 of these ground-up female
insects to make a pound of this
dye.
Another insect, in laying its
eggs produces plant galls which
contain an abundance of tannic
acid of great value in tanning
leather and skis.
Must Restore Pollinators
With the extensive use of in
sect sprays which cannot dis
criminate between beneficial or
harmful insects, many fruit and
vegetable growers are finding
that to get good crops they must
restore the natural pollinators
and this they do by renting pro
fessional honeybee colonies.
These are trucked in overnight
and when morning comes, the
intelligent honeybees go about
their labors of collecting nectar
and pollen. In doing so, they can
orient themselves to : the new
location of their hive almost
immediately no small feat con
sidering the size of the insect
and the distance it travels, aver
aging about a half mile trip al
though they have been known
to go five.
In giving man a "hand," other
insects have been employed to
check the growth and spread of
noxious weeds, an outstanding
example being the successful
control of the prickly pear in
Australia. This plant, introduced
into Australia in 1787, increased
and multiplied to such an extent
that by 1925 its peak year, be
fore insects came to the rescue
60,000,000 acres in Queensland
and ' New South - Wales : were
overrun. Not only were native
flora crowded out, but grazing
lands were also invaded and in
many areas the cultivation of
crops became impossible.. Every
effort to combat the scourge
proved unavailing until a small
moth was brought in from the
Argentine. It speedily solved the
problem the grubs - from this
moth burrow into' the . -juicy
stems and with the help of dis
ease organisms " which " subse
quently gained access to the vital
tissues, the prickly pear plants
were soon reduced to rotting
masses of pulp and the land was
saved! - '".
Just as insects have a share
in nearly every square yard of
the earth's inhabitable surface,
so too do they wave their an
tennae into, most of man's daily
concerns and make it possible
for us to stay alive.

Foster Parents
Of Tiny Boy
Beaverton (U.R)
The feud
over custody of 10-months-old
David Martin Casteel was ended
Saturday with the boy's foster
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Remington of Beaverton, get
ting the boy.
Remington and the child's real
father, Arnold Casteel, met Fri
day night for a man-to-man talk
and settled the matter as "fath
ers should."
The feud started June 14
when Remington siezed the boy
from Casteel's home after police
had taken him from the Reming
ton's icutody on a court order.
Remington was charged with
creating a riot but was acquitted
in a Hillsboro trial.
Earlier, the Casteels, who have
two ' other children, had put
David up for adoption. The
Remingtons took the child and
said they considered him their
own.- The Casteels later had a
change of heart and attempted
to win the child back.
Friday night's agreement, how
ever, appeared to have ended
the dispute for signing of the
craft binding. Each week new
submissions will be considered.

Columbia River
Searched for Body
Of Missing Man
Maryhill, Wash. 4J.R) Wash
ington state police and Klickitat
county sheriff's officers, were
searching the Columbia river
near here Saturday for the body
of 24-year-old W. Dean Fuller of
Moro, Ore., who apparently
drowned Thursday night when
he drove his car off the Mary
hill ferry landing.
Fuller's Portland companion,
Fred Lumm Jr., escaped through
the car's open window and swam
to safety.
The sheriff's office said Lumm
told them the two men left The
Dalles, One., Thursday night
traveled east on Highway 830,
stopped at a tavern and arrived
at the ferry landing on the Wash
ington side.
Lumm said that while waiting
for the ferry he gave the wheel
to Fuller. He said Fuller shoved
the car in gear and floorboarded
the throttle. The car roared over
the dock into the river.
. The car was recovered about
2 a.m. Friday, but Fuller's body
was not found despite dragging
operations, a search of the river
bank and an aerial survey of the
river downstream from the ferry.
