Knowlton, entomologist of the Utah Extension Service. Ants are common pests in houses gardens, diooryards, fields, lawns and on golf greens, and harvester ants kill out the vegetation overlarge areas, an item of considerable loss in fields, gardens, and even of well-defin- livestock feed on vast range areas. The entomologist recommends control through the use of approved mixtures, poured in nests or into holes reaching into ant tunnels. Quantity of the insecticide used for each nest depeds upon the area covered by the colony, Dr. Knowlton states. This type of control can sometimes be accomplished with a smaller quantity of fumigant when the ground is damp, but the control is equally effective in diy soil, provided a sufficient quantity of a satisfactory fumigant is used. If calcium cyanide, dust or granule form, is used, a ife holes may be punched in the nest and one-hato one tablespoonful of the compound poured into each hole, the lf holes then being capped with earth. Another effective means of control to to pour gasoline into the openings, but sufficient gas must b used. Use of a liberal treatment of sodium cyanide (one ounce dissolved in ech gallon of water) usually is effective. Houe ants should receive similar treatment to field and garden ants. In Utah, most of the annoying household ants have their nests outdoors, invading the pantry, kitchen, cellar, o rfruit room by traveling along a regular runway. Whenever possible, the ant nest should be located and eradicated. In case the next cannot be found, free use of naphthalene flakes, scattered on shelves, floors, in corners, at the V point of entrance and along the runways, usually will keep away the intruders. Several poisoned syrup, poisoned favt and poisoned jelley ant baits are now on the market, reports Dr. Knowlton, and some are effective against household ants. One material may be very effective against one ant species, but ineffective against another. If the poison is too strong ants will avoid it. The most effective poisoned bait is the coincides one which particularly with the food preference of the species of ant.

In fact it m?y be a cool, wet, late spring. This means to those people thinking of fire that the vegetation will grow thick and rank when the weather does warm up. Surely, sooner or later, it must mature and become dry, making it a fire hazard. The fire season may not be as long as usual, but it bas the possibility of being very .severe.

For this reason the period from June 10 to October I has been declared a closed season to unpermitted fires by the State Board of Forestry and Fire Control. So if you must burn, you may secure a permit to do so from the county sheriff or county fire chief, who will issue the permit after he is satisfied that the fire can be limited to the proposed area, and when he feels that weather conditions make safe burning same Uncle for Sam whom your brothers and WORLD.
