It will supplant the present Deforest equipment now being used at Southern Pines. It has many improvements over the machinery now things over, as he is much interested in the movement on foot there, and in the men who are in charge. Of late years an apparent shortage of quail in some ^section has been noted', and Mr. Stoddard has 'been studying the causes. Among others he has discov ered that the ordinary red ant so common in the Eastern United States has much to do with the quail mortal ity. ^He has under his observation in his various fields of study over 200 nests of wild quail, and he has con nected the ants with the destruction of biros beyond doubt. Mr. Stoddard says the minute the egg shell is cracked the ants begin their work, and they get on the eyei and legs and every available spot of . , the young bird, and before it has suf- | “ ficient vigor t odefend itself it has I phill and J.

RICHARDSON Real Estate Southern Pines. North Carolina been so irritated and multilated that it dies in short time. Mr. Stoddard is satisfied that throughout the entire quail territory of the Atlantic slope the birds are thus pestered by ants, and with grave results. He says the dry weather of the last two or three years has been favorable for the in crease of ant colonies everywhere, and the result is increasing onslaught on young birds in the nests and one the weaklings as they come from the nests. Then any birds that are annoy ed by ants are more subject to at promoscously as mankind itself does. They tackle living .creatures and plants, or dead ones. Possibly no other existing things enjoys so wide a bill of fare. Ants help to keep down many of the other small and big life. They are scavengers of many big car casses and of dead vegetation and fruits and vegetables. Because their appetites are so varied and healthy why they are so numerous, is why they thrive so vigorously, and The ant population is possibly greater than that of any other living tacks from other pests, and less able thing as big as they are, Smaller pests may be in greater number, but it is doubtful if any other form of animal life as big as the ant has so many individuals on the earth as the ant family. One female ant in the spring will start off to lay a lot of eggs, and they speedily hatch out, and from the crop they multiply like the sins of the fathers in Israel, and by early sum mer the ant villages are as populous as'^New York or London or that other place which Shelly mentions in his bit of verse that starts out by say ing, “Hell is a city much like Lon don, a populous, busy place.” J. D. Lea, at the Johnson 'arm, to defend themselves. He was not here long enough to go over the lo cal situation to discover whether the bird population in the Sandhills has been affected in this way or not. He says it is not difficult to guard against ants in the hatcheries where the nests are available to care and oversight, for a little kerosene oil properly applied will kill the ants, and in the woods where the nests are found they can be treated. But in the wild it is another matter. Big Ant Population It is believed that the wet weather so far this summer in this section says Mr. Stoddard would like !. hear has destroyed many ants as compar- ! from observers who have been notic ed with the many large colonies in i ing the ravages of ants ,as it is desir- the preceding two or three years of ed to get all the information possible extreme dry weather.
