O. E. Cook, who found the Guate-
malan boll-weevil-eating ants, has
wired the Department of Agriculture |
from Texas that the new ants are de-
stroying cotton boll worms and are
attacking similar injurious Insects
with even greater avidity than they do
the boll weevils,
Another important fact is that the
ants do not injure at all the ladybird
larvae, which are beneficial insects
Mr. Cook reports that the agricultural
value of the ants now depends chiefly
upon acclimatization an rapidity of
propagation. These questions are be-
mg investigated.
