WICHITA. Kn., June 8. Hordes

 throush mud tubes iir threkteninc dc- 

 tnicuon to the $100,000 Exchange 

 Buildinc At the gtockqarda herr. 

 Oaken lamher itord under the build-

 the anta have driven their way up 

 lonf pipe ]1net to the woo<lwerk of 

 the v.esi end of tbo ctructure. wnieh 

 they hovo tunneled as far as the 

 ind floor. 



WaEhington entomologists have lucn- 

 (ifled the ravrpinp visitor is an Au- 

 trattan or South American ant, which 

 drives in Brmies, overwhelniinc in 

 time any wood structure in Its path. 

 The cattle at the stockyards seem to be 

 f^ee of aOtacks. 



An attempt to stop activities of the 

 pests by placing fly paper in their 'path 

 was frustrated when the ants built a 

 dirt bridgo across the obstruction anrt 

 continued their operations. By ii;-

IN many sections of the country white ants (termites) are 

 causing rapid deterioration of structural timber, and this 

 menace is spreading rapidly. 



Investigations of these insects made by the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture are reported in Farmers* Bulletins Nos. 

 759 and 1037, and among the preventive measures advocated 

 is the following :

Clipping from the New York Tribune, 

 June gth, 1921 



"Where stone or concrete 

 foundations are impracticable, 

 timber impregnated with coal-tar 

 creosote should be used. Un- 

 treated beams should never be 

 laid on the earth nor imbedded 

 in moist concrete, since they will 

 rot, even if they do not become 

 infested. 



"Any wood construction in con- 



tact with the ground is especially 

 liable to attack by white ants. 

 Among these may be listed con- 

 struction timber in bridges, 

 wharves, and similar structures, 

 telephone and telegraph poles, 

 mine props, railroad ties, posts, 

 lumber piled on the ground, 

 wooden boxing for cables, cy- 

 press water tanks, etc." 



Carbosota Protects Wood from White Ants as Well as Decay 



'TpO check the loss occasioned by the 

 * white ant pest, preservative treat- 

 ment should be applied to all lumber 

 and timber used in contact with other 

 wood, or with the ground, masonry, 

 or brick and concrete foundations. The 

 treatment must be thorough, and the 

 method employed must, of necessity, 

 be practicable under conditions com- 

 mon to general construction. 



In effectively combating ants and other wood- 

 destroying insects, as well as in checking the ravages 

 of wood decay, Carbosota particularly when applied 

 by the Open Tank process is proving a great boon 

 to lumber users all over the country. 



Carbosota Liquid Creosote Oil is the ideal wood 

 preservative for non-pressure treatments, i. e.. Surface 

 treatments (brushing, spraying and dipping) and the 

 Open Tank process (hot and cold, or hot and cooling 

 bath). It is a standardized, highly refined, liquid 



grade of pure coal-tar creosote oil, 

 specially processed and uniform the 

 world over. 



Write for free booklet. 



(Green wood cannot be effectively 

 creosotcd by non-pressure processes. It 

 should be seasoned. All framing, dril- 

 ling of bolt holes, etc., should be done 

 before treatment. If this is impossi- 

 ble, two brush coats of Carbosota should be applied to 

 all untreated surfaces exposed by subsequent cutting or 

 drilling. )
