U. S. Entomological Chief Calls
en Natien's Scientists te Aid
Struggle for Existence
FOOD AND HEALTH AT STAKE
By the Associated Frc
Terente, Dec. 28. The struggle be
tween men nnd Insects for supremacy
en earth was discussed by Dr. 1i. Q.
Heward, chief of the bureau of ento
mology of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture nt tbe convention
of scientists here. He declnred that the
feed supply of the, human race ".van
endangered.
"It is difficult te understand," he
said, "the long time comparative In
difference of the human species te the
insect danger. Men of sound labora
tory training have found themselves
able In increasing numbers, however,
tb devete themclrcs te the study of
insect life, with the main end In view
te control these forms lnlmicablc te
humanity, nnd today the man in the
streets realizes neither the number of
trained men nnd Institutions engaged
In this work nor the brendtb and Im
portance drthelr results."
Dr. Heward said few people realized
the critical situation.
"There Is still a war," he nsserted,
"net amenir human bcines. but between
nll.lluinanlty and certain forces that are
arrayed ngalnst ,it. Man is the domi
nant type en this terrestrial bqdy. He
has overcomo most opposing' animal
forces. He has' subdued or turned te
his ewn'use nearly al kinds of living
creatures. Tiicre still remain, However,
the bacteria nnd protozoa that carry
dlifflse and the enormous forces of In
jurious insects which nttnek him from
every point nnd which censtitute today
his greatest rivals in the centrtl ofna efna
turc. "Let all the departments of biology
In all our universities nnd colleges con
sider thlH plain statement of the sit
uation, and let them begin a concerted
movement te train the men who arc
needed in this defensive and offensive
campaign."
