BEETLES INFESTING CLOVER REIDS (Ptirdue University Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin lumber 179 X During the past few days a number of inquiries have been ret aived at this station concerning ii sects which are doing serious dam; ge to the clover fields in portions »f the state, especially the easterr and northern sections. These insects have been identified as the < lover root-borer (Hylastinus obsc irus) and the’clover leaf weevil (Pl ytonomus punctatus). The forme’ species belongs to the family Scol.Jidae to which belongs our common fruit bark-beetle (Scolytus ruguksus), and the second belongs with the large family of snout beetles, viz., the Curculionidae. Both species have been imported from E irope and have been known in this country for 30 to 40 years. The root-borer is not generally known by farmers, as it is very small, less than one-eighth of an inch long, and so its work is generally attributed to unfavorable wea ther conditions. The female lays her eggs in small cavities which she gouges out i i the root near the crown. These l atch in about a week and the larvae eat into and downward, thus bu rowing out the root. When the b eties become very numerous the "oots become so badly eaten out the t the tops may be easily broken off by the hand. Like most insects which vork under ground, their presence does not become known until the lamage has been done; hence. ‘as preventive measures, a short rot ition of crops, whereby clover is no allowed to remain on the gr >und more than two years in succession, or summer fallowing the lan I as soon as the clover has been ci t for hay, are recommended. Eithf r of these ipethods will prevent hem from spreading by depriving 1 hem of their food plants. The clover leaf-weevil is about one-third of an inch in length, color brown, with numerous indenta ions on the wing covers and with greyish stripes on each side. It has a long, stout probosis or snout, which is characteristic of the weevil ilyThe female lays her eggs ear y in the fall on the clover stems near the base of the plants, where they hatch and the light-green larva feed upon the leaves, becoming only partially grown before winter sets in, when they go under rubbish or into the ground and pass the w nter in a dormant state, coming out in the spring and continuing to feed until the last of May or first of June. As they feed mostly at right, they are seldom noticed. Before changing to the pupa, the larva constructs a very delicate, light green, oval cocoon in which it remains about a month when the adult beetle appears and begins feeding on the leaves of the clover, often doing more damage than the larva. It is only occasionally that this species becomes very troublesome, because, as soon as the beetle? become very numerous, a fungous disease attacks and destroys the larvae in great numbers When this occurs, the larvae may be seen curled around a blade of grass and covered with a white mould which soon destroys it. The spores spread rom these diseased larvae to heilthy ones and soon the whole field is infected, thus rendering any artificial remedies unnecessary. TheOtt and Darr reunion will be held at the home of Elijah Ott tear Eaton, Preble county, Ohio, Ju e 8, 1911. Every one is cordially invited to attend.

ONIONS BLOWN OUT OF — A great loss was sustained by the onion growers last Thursday and I Friday by having many acres blown out of the ground. Charles Geiger thinks he has thirty acres that are a total loss, while his neighbors shared badly. The onions had grown to the exi tent that they had been wheel-hoed , once and many acres had been gone over the second time. Persons who do not understand the growing of i onions have no idea the loss a farmer sustains in this way. About 9 o’clock on Thursday morning and 10 o’clock on Friday a cloud of dust could be seen for > miles. In some instances the onions are whipped out by the wind, and again they are picked up by the roots, which are quite tender. Jt costs about $6 for seed to spw z an acre, and by the time the ground is plowed and prepared and wheelhoed twice, the expense is about sl2 an acre. Mr. Geiger tells us that he has thirty acres that are a total loss and the onion prospect will have to be abandoned, while there are some fields where the onions can be patched up, but the expense will be great and the crop light. When Prof. Darst of Warsaw heard the news he came to Milford and went out to his onion possessions, which comprise in all more than one hundred acres. In just what condition he found them has not yet been reported, but we are told that they were in bad shape. This will mean many thousands of dollars loss to those who had their onions in fine condition up until Thursday.—Milford Mail. In telling of the crowd which attended the band concert the previous Saturday evening at Milford last week, the editor of the Milford Mail used three-fourths of a column of space, but we are unable to do that, although the crowd was large. Perhaps, however, if we had not forgotten to publish the fact last week that there would be a band concert Saturday evening, and the country people generally had known of it, the crowd might have been so large it would have required an entire column to have announced the fact Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Wiggins are spending the week at Wawasee. They will spend next week visiting friends here and at Goshen. Mrs. Harry Richards went to Muncie Saturday, where her husband has a position in an automobile factory.

Will Take Care of Soldiers’ Children Many think the many millions that areypaid out in pensions would bankrupt any government, but we prosper all the more. Our pensions would almost pay all the expense of the armies of the world, and when we get to that point we shall look about for other worlds in which to expend our money. Not only are we paying out money by the government, but we are beginning now within the states. A new pension law for widows has just become effective in Missouri. It was passed by the last legislature and the results will be watched with interest. Its purpose is to enable poor widows to keep their children under 14 years of age in school. The law provides that a widow may be paid not to exceed $lO a month for one child; if she has more than one child not to exceed $5 for each additional one, the exact amount being fixed by the juvenile court and depending on circumstances. . It is expected that the mother will do what work she can in her own home to help out but she is advised not to go outside of her home.—Ex. Farm for Sale—The Rothenberger estate, containing 240 acres.

MATHEMATIGALWONDER HERE Arthur F. Griffith, the well-known Hoosier mathematical wonder, whose home is at Milford, and who has been on the Qrpheum circuit since last August giving a new, remarkable, novel and instructive act of his great mathematical ability and rapid mental calculations in vaudeville theatres of the large cities between here and the Pacific coast and the Gulf of Mexico, was in Syracuse Friday. Mr. Griffith finished his tour at the Orpheum Theatre, New Orleans, La., two weeks ago, and is now visiting his friends in and around Milford. He changes his program for each performance and solves all problems propounded by members of his audiences. In many of the cities he visited he had problems published in the newspapers and offered SSO reward for their correct solution, but in no instance has he had to pay the reward. His agent is thinking of touring Europe with him the coming season. For Sale or Rent—A good 8-room house with cellar, on Pittsburg street, at a great sacrifice, as I must have the money.
