CLOVER PEST AT WORK IN COUNTY (lover Aphis Damaging ( rop; No Practical Methods ()f Control During the past i.i-v*-ral days a comsiderable number of Inquiries have b*‘*‘ll ('* *'*• i I *‘(l nt |)|(‘ I‘iHluty IlKont'H off!*-** relative io th** * liiV* i pest which 4< now infesting a number of clover fields In the county. The insect is knowh as “Clover Aphis", and belongs to the family of plant lire which infests apple trees, alfall'ii, (lover amt other similar crops A letter to ITof ossor ,J. J. Davis at Purdue, brought the information that -the insect has been found in several other counties of the state. There ate two main classes of insects. based upon their methods of obtaining food. One class is known as n biting insect, that actually eats the tissues of the plant, while the other kind, known as sucking insects, obtain their nutriment by extracting the juices of the plants by a sucking process. The clover aphis belongs to the latter c lass. Upon their infesting * lover they extract the juices of the plant causing it to wither and dry up. They usually appear in spots in the field, killing out small places which gradually enlarge, sometimes killing the entire acreage. It is said that they are very destructive to alfalfa but that they seldom injure clover to such an extent that it will not recover. There are not as yet any practical methods available for control of the insect. Due to the fact that they mature in such a short period and that reproduction is extremely rapid they require only a short time to infest an entire field after they are first discovered. As a general rule plant lice are held in control by natural enemies in the form either of insects or fungous deseases. lyical farmers hope that weather conditions and natural enemies wil be sufficient in the next few days as to check the invasion of the insect.

Population of Gary and other cities in the Calumet region is growing steadily to man the steel mills which are constantly increasing their capacity. Along with the erection of new plant units and new mills, other business enterprises are starting and established concerns are expanding to keep pace with the needs of this industrial center. Abolishment of the Pittsburgh plus rate system has started and kept going, a boom in the steel industry, which served as the conerstone in'the

foundation of this city. Steel men say that Cary will become the steel center of America and bearing out their pre'diction are activities toward erection iif new mills and new plant units. Real estate values have increased I teadily as the demand for factory sites and home sites grew. Building permits have been Issued daily in Gary. Hammond. East Chicago, and Indiana Harbor for erection of mod iin apartments buildings, stores, homes, factories, etc. Foi tin- fourth successive month, tlary surpassed its previous monthly building figures according to the April report on city building announced, by the Gary Land company.

Do you suffer dizziness, headaches, rheumatic twinges or distressing uninary disorders? You have good cause, then, to be alarmed about your kidneys. Do as many of your townfolk recopimend. Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. This Decatur case is convincing: Mrs. Lena Dannel. 911 Jefferson St., says: "Bearing down pains caught me in the small of my back and I had kinks when I stooped or bent. Then it was hard for me to straighten again. Mornings my back was lame and stiff and I felt tired and all worn out. Specks blurred my sight and 1 had dizzy spells, too. My kidneys were weak and the secretions passed too often. But I used Dona’s Fills and they cured me of kidney trouble." Gue. at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo. N. Y.
