Terry Dickson, s. leading expon- ent. of the bow-and-arrow cause. said: "A few of us have tried it, but the cold weather plus the fact that gun-hunters are all over the place make it very difficult."

The swarms of desert locusts that have devastated great areas in Africa, the Near East. Afghanl. start and India in the past, have travelled with the prevailing winds from winter breeding grounds in Eastern Africa. They also have summer and rail breed- ins grounds along that east coast, from Nariobi to the border of Egypt. Spring breeding grounds extend from Cairo to Turkey and Russia on the north, and through- out the ear East countries, ex- tending in the southwest to Kar- aohi in Pakistan.
Besides the large summer breed- ing areas in the Sudan and Ethi- opia. there are great areas of locust summer breeding grounds in

Once a winged swarm is on its way,very little can be done to stop its ravages. It seems impossible to stop its progress with any poison or treatment that would not ren- der the protected crop unfit for human consurriptlon. Many differ- en.-t systems of destroying these terrible 'swar.ms have been tried. both in the Old and New World. Bounties were oiiered for their destruction, to be paid per bushel for the insects, etc. Their eggs were collected and burned. an the Island of Cyprus in 1881, 1,- 600,000,000 locust egg cases, with an estimated weight of over 1,300 tons, were destroyed. Two years later, not fewer than 5,076,000,000 egg cases were again deposited on

Canada To Retain Flexible Altitude To Korean Paiiey
By Mel lufrilr (Canadian Press Staff Writer) UNITED NATIONS. N. Y., (OP) -- Canada intends to maintain I flexible attitude toward the Oom- munist Chinese proposal for re- consldering the question of what countries shall be represented at the forthcoming Korean peace con- ference.
At the present time, Canada. like the in other nations which fought under the UN command in Korea. is srongiy opposed to ,re- opening debate in the UN General Assembly on the conference make-
up.
But. informants say. this does not preclude the possibility of a change in the Canadian attitude if it should'appear that there would be no hope otherwise that the peace conference ever will be held.

is from these areas of the Punjab that migrations swing across Gen. tral India and around across the north to Afghanistan and the Near East countries, and back again to Africa. These migrations seem to haze been general ii'om time to time for ages. y They were first recorded on an Egyptian tomb at least 4,350 l'e:lrs ago, In recent times migrat- ing swarms moved in late winter from Africa to Saudi Arabia. and on to all the countries of the Near East, reaching Iraq and Iran in March and April. In late spring and early summer they advance to India and by August they reach the Indian ocean and swing back to Africa. In the winter months the migrations of the Desert Lo- cust are back in Kenya, Somali- land and Ethiopia. 0 O 0
For centuries men have fought a
losing battle with this whirring
horror, which frequently came as a. cloud that obscured the sun and with a. noise from their wings that was deafening. They devour- ed every living green plan-t, caus- ing ruln and famine along the path of each migrating swarm. Damage was most severe in areas where the annual rainfall was less than 26 inches.
It is only' within the last 30 years that scientists learned that the Desert Locust lived a. Dr. Jekyl- Mr. Hdye existence. Early ento- mologists placed the locust in a dif- ferent family in the text-books from the gramhopper. They said: ”Zoologica.lly the family of Locus- tldae does not admit of the species known as tiocusts' being included therein." "A true locust should be a migratory species of the family Acrldidae".

An entomologist, fighting one of man's worst enemies in the desert, recently said: "There aren't two species of Desert Locusts" as we once thought-one friendly and solitary. the other e. ravenous horde. There is only one-but we see it in two phases. The solitary locust becomes a destructive, greg- arious insect when conditions are right for multiplication”. He ex- plained that the insect, when it remains under normal desert con- ditions, is a. quiet grasshopper, similar 'to those elsewhere; but when conditions of soil. temper- ature, vegetation and rainfall in the desert are favourable, the or- dinary number of grasshoppers usually there, can very quickly de-
the soil and lay their eggs in a long cylindrical mass, ehveloped in a. gelatinous secretion that hard- ens. Each individual will lay from 8-25 of these banana-like clusters, containing from 20-120 eggs each. In temperate .climaites, many species winter over in the egg stage; but the eggs of the Desert. Locust hatch in about forty days, imo black sis:-legged nymphs or hoppers, similar in ilI2'pEB.lli1l'lCB to the adult, except that they are wingless. The nymphs, which have voracious vegetarian a p p e tit es, crawl and hop along during the periods when they pass through five melts or nymphal instars, be- fore getting thclr two pairs of wings. Their colour turns iiicrcas- ingly pink as they mature into
three-inch locusts. .

In preparation for their raven- ous migrations. however, these Desert Locusts, hatched under fav- ourable conditlons, become quit! different from their grasshopper parents; their colour becomes I. handsome orange-yellow, with
'many dark spots on their wings.
It is said that even their body temperature is higher. They act as s. gioup, a swarm that is self- propagating, that moves forward in the general direction of former migrations from their birthplace. Climatic changes from year to year may cause variation in the direction of the migrations. so far it has been imrpossible,to predict the size or movement of a swarm of locusts. Some are known to have veered away from feeding grounds and flown out to be lost at sea. Others have travelled to cold areas where their eggs did not hatch, or flown to hot, barren

i Progress in the tight against the Desert Locust has been made in recent years by locating their breeding grounds in the desert, hundreds of miles distant from cultivated crops; and there de- strojing the young nymphs before they get wings.
