centralized colony. Thus, instead of a colony as we think of it in relation to ants or bees, we have a whole community. Since the progeny of these wingless reproductives never have wings, buildings may be infested without a swarm of the winged reproductives ever appearing on the surface.
Live in Soil
“Termites: such as occur in Indiana live usually beneath the surface of the soil. Hence the name subterranean termites. The scientific name of the only important species in Indiana is Reticulitermes flavipes. These termites may be found underground to depths of five feet, feeding on plant products which are present. On the other hand, they may sometimes be found a considerable distance above the ground, the workers foraging 100 feet or more. “Since the soft-bodied termites are not able to withstand drying effects of the atmosphere, they never occur in the open but, instead, build elaborate tubes and galleries which they use as passageways. They almost always feed on material in such a way that the exterior is left intact. Thus, serious damage often occurs without external evidence of termite activity. Since termites work mostly under cover, it is important to know telltale signs of their presence. Semi-annual inspections of susceptible property should be made to guard against serious damage.”
URGES CAUTION IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
Because revenues from gasoline taxation and motor vehicle fees are likely to be lower this year, the
Indiana Tax Study committee has advised caution in planning road and street construction and maintenance programs for the coming year. In addition to the shortage of funds, it was pointed out that some materials will be difficult to obtain and that a shortage of manpower to do highway and street work has already developed in some communities and will develop in others.

But a few fortunate pairs locate a suitable place and each couple digs a little cell into which they crawl after breaking off their wings. Mating follows shortly thereafter and the queen, as the female is usually ‘called, soon begins laying eggs.

“During the first year, only a few eggs are laid, as the king and queen must do all the work connected with maintaining the colony as well as raising the young. After the first year, reproduction gains momentum very rapidly, the workers raised the first year taking over the duties of the colony. By the end of the third year the colony may be producing thousands of termites annually. Some of these are winged reproductives which swarm and fly away to start other colonies. “Besides these winged reproductives there are, in most well established colonies, wingless individuals which carry on reproduction activities much as do the first form or criginal pair which established the colony. Thus, the life of the || colony is almost guaranteed in that the parent king and queen may be destroyed without weakening very much the reproductive powers of the colony.
