INSECT BATTLE IS

FORECAST

WHILE war is being waged in Abyssinia, and Europe is shaken by warnings of conflict, another battle is being fought by man against insects.

The chief enemies are locusts, white ants, and the taste fly. Their invasions destroy everything in their path, leaving man with his larder empty.

New measures are concerted to deal with the menace within the British Empire. Expert entomologists have gone away from their Eondon conference with new strategies and schemes for combating the world-wide problem. It is hoped that thousands of lives and millions of pounds will be saved by their work.

"Next year the Empire will probably have to face a locust invn- sion," said Sir Guy Marshall, chief entomologist, to a Daily Express | representative.

"The desert locust starts on one of his periodic invasions every ten years. The last one occurred in 1927, so that a fresh attack is

"We have discovered that this species of locust tend to migrate MASKS
