Mild Winter
Brings Menace
DANGEROUS SPIDERS, TICKS
AXD SNAKES REPORTED
ABUNDANT
The mild winter may have been
easy on the woodpile, but It is
given the blame for an infesta
tion of unwelcome Insects in this
area, including the poisonous
"black widow" spider and wood
ticks. It may have something to
do with the large number of rat
tlesnakes reported to be abroad
earlier this year than usual.
Numerous Reports Heard.
County Agent C. A. Henderson
said Saturday he has had numer
ous reports of "black widows"
being found, and one report of a
bite. The spiders usually make
their homes under and between
rocks, and their presence is sus
pected in many rock gardens.
F. L. Cbitwood, in a letter to
the Herald and News, relates that
he has watched for black widows
and has found them infesting a
much wider area than would be
expected in one season.
The nests, according to Chit
wood, are hung on a crude web
between the crevices in the rocks.
The spider is a Bhiny black in
sect, sometimes marked with red
on the underside, and with feet
outspread would cover about a
half-dollar. Recently, one was
exhibited in K. Sngarman's win
