The Glover Leaf weevil and Borer
From the philadelphia pa, Ledger.

From the Philadelphia (Pa) Ledger.
The Larvae fthe clover leaf weevil PhytoR-
oaors p,tnctatMs) has been busy for the past
fortnight feeling on the leaves of the clover,
has spun its cocoon, and presently will be out
to finish its work of destruction. Professor
Buckhart says of the larvae: They are leg
less, and hold on to the hairs of the leaf by
the folds between the joints of the body.
They are at first pale yellowish, then become
of greenish hue, the yellowish hue remain
ing on the back. They feed at night mostly,
and in the day are to be found curled up under
shelter. When bothered they eject black
fluid, then move quickly away. After feeding
for fortnight the Larvae begins spinning its
cocoon, and in this, under cover of the soil,
it remains until it casts its skin TO transfer to
a pupa. In the beetle stage it is voracious,
eating flowers, head, stalks, and every part
of the plant above ground, feeding at night
and hiding around the roots of the plants.
The clover root borer (Hylesimus tr1olis)
is another of the enemies which make clover
growing a WEAKNESS to the Pennsylvania
farmer. Professor Riley says; s'As soon as
spring opens the beetles issue from the ground
and the female begins work by boring into
the crown of the clover root, wherein she de-
posts six whitish eggs. These hatch in a
weeks time, and the young Larvae at first feed
in the cavity of the plant made by the parent,
afterwards burrowing downward into the diff
ferent branches of the root. The galleries
they make run regularly along the axis of the
root and are filled with brown excrement.
The bupa is to be found generally in a smooth
cavity at the end of one Of these burrows. !"
The only remedy suggested for the weevll and
the borer is to pillow them under, although
both, it is said, have parasites and bird and
insect enemies.

Newspaper Attitudes.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Herald, under date of May IA, says
The Baltimore Sun, along with the New
York Sun, Springfield Republican and other
papers, is supplying the Republicans with
material upon which to defend their flibus-
tering. In the Senate today Mr.. Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, read from the Baltimore
Sun wall against the proposed tariff legisla-
ton and some sound denunciation of Demo
cratic Senators.
The paper maintained that such bill ought
to be defeated. Hence, MIR. Gallinger said
the Republicans were doing their duty in
fighting to prevent its passage. Mr.. Chan
dler recently quoted from the Sanpdper as
sustaining the Republicans. These alleged
Democratic papers, which are complaining
so violently and vituperously, do not under
stand the situation. They assume that the
Democrats have an ample majority in the
Senate, while, as a matter Of fact, they have
scarcely more than nominal majority, and
they are forced to make concessions.
As a rule, the very newspapers which are
so persistently denouncing the Democratic
Senators, and which claim to be the only true
orthodox sheets, are giving daily aid and
comfort to the enemy. They will learn, be-
fore a great while and from the best party
authority, that the Democratic leaders of the
House never expected to see the Wilson bill
pass the Senate. They will be informed by
the Democrats charged with the management
of the coming campaign that the Wilson bill
was made extreme in many instances in order
to afford better basis of compromise in the
Senate. They will learn that the Democrats
who were behind the tariff legislation ascer
tanned before the Wilson bill passed the House
that the final tariff measure would haze to be
substantially the bill now pending in the
Senate. OF course, it could not be told then
just what concessions would be made, but it
was known that to bring the party in the
Senate together rates in some schedules would
have to be raised
