Science May Curb
Termite's Diet
Termites have been giving
homeowners indigestion for
certuries. At last science may turn
the tables.
One way to curb the insects'
destructive appetites, according to
John A Bre/nak of Michigan State
University, may be lo tamper with
the bacteria that live in their
digestive tracts.
Though termites thrive on wood,
they must have their dollop of
nitrogen along with it. Living things
take nitrogen from the air and
tiiange it into ammonia, a necessary
part of all protein.
Intestinal bacteria in temiites
perform this conversion. Dr. Bre/nak
believes. It may be possible to spray
mutations of these bacteria on
timbers where termites are feeding.
The mutants would produce an
excess of ammonia and poison their
insect hosts.
If his research succeeds, Dr
Bre/nak will have added another
weapon to the arsenal men have
deployed against termite colonies,
the National Geographic Society
observes.
Numerous insecttcides-daubcd.
painted, and sprayed on
termite-infested wood -- have been
used to check the insects'
depredations. Scientists also have
employed methods reminiscent of
the Pied Piper and the Trojoan
Horse.
Since termites leave scented trails
to guide their ravenous cohorts to
the feast, researchers hope to
reproduce the secretion in test tubes
and use it to lead the insects into
death traps.
The Trojan Horse approach
involves infecting stragglers with
bacteria-carrying fungi, then sending
them back to the termite colony to
spread fatal epidemics among the
insect hordes.
But termites have been on earth
for more than 250 million years, and
are not easily thwarted. Blocked by
insecticides spiead in the ground
around houses, they will climb trees,
cross to a convenient window sill,
and start eating from the top down.
Because of their wood fiber
content, books and papers often
become dinners tor hungry termites.
The insects once gobbled up
hundreds of commuter tickets at a
railroad station in New York.
When a student visiting a Rome
library opened a rare copy of Dante's
"Divine Comedy." he found a gaping
void between the engraved covers -
the book's pages had succumbed to a
colony of termites living in the
library walls.
Termites also have eaten the
canvas and frames front valuable art
in Italian museums. In the United
States alone, the insatiable insects
cause almost $300 million worth of
damage a year.
Though they are found most otten
in warmer climates, termites ate part
of the Kremlin floor several years
ago. and once devoured a clubhouse,
most of a library. and several houses
in Soviet Central Asia.
Wood, paper, fabrics, and even
shoes are included in the insects'
cellulose diet, and when nothing else
offers, they will gnaw asphalt,
asbestos.or some plastics.
Scientist in Australia were startled
recently to find stainless steel scarred
by voracious termites. They eat the
insulation from cables and electronic
equipment, and in Panama have been
known to chew their way sately
through arsenic to get at wood.

N-.w is the time to control peach
tree borers. I his is one of the most
destructive pests of peach trees in
North Carolina. Masses of gum and
wood particles at die base of the tree
indicates thai they are borrowing in
the inner bark several inches above or
below the soil surface. Control can
be had on a commercial basis by
sprasing the tree trunks with
Thiodan.
A small orchardist can control
them with the use of moth crystals.
Remove grass and weeds from the
base of the tree for a distance of one
foot. Distribute the crystals in a
band, one or two inches wide, two
inches from the trunk of the tree.
Cover the tree base and crystals with
4 to 0 shovelfuls of earth. The
mound should not be removed until
spring. For three year old trees use Vi
ounces; 4 to 5 year old trees u9e %
ounce and trees six years or older use
one ounce. Do not use on trees under
three years old.
Fall of the year is an excellent
time to begin ihe disease control
program for the next year's home
vegetable gardens. As soon as harvest
is complete, the plants should be
either removed from the garden and
destroyed or immediately worked
into the soil. Roots that remain in
the soil should be exposed to the
elements by plowing out or
destroying with a rototiUer. Fall is
also the best time to take a soil
sample to determine Ihe fertility and
the nematode population. The
nematode sample costs only one
dollar to run. Material for sampling
can be picked up at the county
agents office.
The backyard gardener series will
be starting again this fall on Channel
4 TV. The first date is Monday.
September 15. 1975 and each
Monday until October 20, 1,975.
Time is from 7 P.M. to 8 P.M.
Hank Smith. George Hughes, Carl
Blake, and Mike Gray will be the
participants. Calls can be made direct
to the program.
SHARING COMPLETION - Work on the $425,000 new county office building on Magnolia Avenue is nearing

Read Luke 24:364')
"You shall receive power when the
Holy Spirit has come upon you: and
you shall be my witnesses in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and
Samaria and to the end of the earth."
(Acts 1:8. RSV)
During World War I, Eugene V.
Debs was imprisoned in America for
his criticism of the government's
prosecution of persons charged with
sedition. He became interested in a
prisoner who was said to be
incorrigible and devoid of any spark
of goodness. He wouldn't speak to
anybody. Eugene Debs started a
campaign of kindness by leaving an
orange on the man's bed and going
off without a word. By simple and
unobtrusive acts like this he
gradually penetrated the man's
defenses, and they became fast
friends.
Years later, when the news of
Eugene Debs's death came to him.
the man said. "He was the only Jesus
Chrisl I knew." The late Gipsy
Smith, world ? famous evangelist
used to sing a song with the words,
"Can others see Jesus in you?" There
are countless numbers of people who
only know of the gospel as they read
it in our lives, catching die authentic
spirit of Jesus as they see it in action
in us.
PRAYER: Teach us. O God our
Father, so to follow Christ that out
daily lives may bear a witness to
Him. May we be so moved by Jesus'
spirit that others will see Him in us.
Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Can
others see Jesus in us?
