INSECTICIDES SAVE CROPS 
ARGENTINE ANT POISON. (VU. 5S. 
Formula).—Entomologists strongly advise 
destruction of the Argentine ant. These 
insects are very numerous and destructive 
in Southern Louisiana, and by their foster- 
ing care make many other insects, such as 
plant-lice, more dangerous. There is but 
one way to eradicate them—to follow the 
instructions of the U. S. Bureau of Ento- 
mology, which has prepared a formula for 
an effective poison. It should be Kept out 
of the reach of children and pets, although 
it is not aS poisonous as most other ant 
poisons. It is intended not simply to kill 
the workers, who may be reproduced by 
the queen or mother-ant faster than they 
can be destroyed; but to be taken into the 
nest by the working ants and fed to the 
queen, thus killing her and destroying the 
colony. For this reason a slow poison 
has been prepared. 
It is put up in bottles and to apply it 
in tin cans with small bits of sponge. 
These cans should be re-filled every three 
weeks. For an ordinary home 8 cans are 
required. They may be hung on trees or 
in other places easily reached by ants, but 
out of reach of children. In bottles, pint, 
45c.; quart, 90c.; gallon, $3.50; cans,
