State College The Cape Fear Garden club, at its regular meeting yesterday, had as special guests the local nursery men who were invited to hear Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, head of the depart ment of Zoology and Entomology of North Carolina State college, speak. Dr. Metcalf was introduced by D. Boot. In discussing his subject, insects on the garden, Dr. Met calf said there are two kinds of gardens, one for flowers and one for vegetables—a garden is where plants and animals live together as a community, it is one for in dividual plants, individual animals, with soil and sunlight making up that garden, all being important factors. A garden must have in sects if it is expected to live and flourish. There are three kinds of insects, the good, the bad and the indifferent; each gardener must learn to recognize the good' insect, destroy the bad and ignore the indifferent, but if you wipe out all the insects, illustrating his mean ing by bees, and birds, we would no longer have a garden, there would be no more fruits, no more flowers, all life matter would com pletely disappear. He went on into detail describing the harms and benefits of the various insects and stated that there were between 12,000 and 15,000 different kinds of insects alone in North Caro lina, a few hundred being injurous but only 150 odd as of a serious consequence.
