Certain Plants Help Man Destroy Insects , Some 20 species of plants grow ing in North Carolina Jieln " man in his endless war on insects, accord ing to L. A. Whitford, of the State College botany department. These carnivorous plants catch' in sects on their leaves and digest them, he explained. On an acre' in eastern North Caro lina where trumpet plant, or Venus' fly-trap, grows abundantly, he con tinued, a million or more insects must be' destroyed every summer. "Wouldn't it be fine if we could plant Venus' fly-trap between rows oi Deans to eaten me Deeties, or pitcher plants in corn fields to catch the ear-worms?" he asked. Unfortu nately, these plants are hard to grow except in bogs. Venus' fly-trap is found within 75 miles of Wilmington. The spine-bor dered leaves, snap shut instantly on any insect that touches them. After the insect' hv digested, the leaf open's again. A small plant growing in the bo- Uny ; laboratory at the' college caught more than a dozen house flies in a few weeks. In southern Europe, Whitford add ed, fanners grow a plant with sticky leaves. When hung in their houses, the plants catch flies and other in sects like fly-paper. In North Carolina the yellow tram' pet plant reaches a height of three feet and has a trumpet-like leaf that can oatch a half -cupful of insects, including large crickets and grass hoppers. The bladderworts which grow in bog pools have many tiny bladders with trap doors that operate when ever an insect touches the trigger. ji F-1 2 Farmall ndlu 0S85 li iood km for Vou ! TM.
