Two Good Catch. Crops.

OF the crops which I sowed ahead
of the cultivator at the last cultivation
of corn and potatoes to get a growth
tect h land from winter washing.
rye and dwarf Essex rape were the
most satisfactory.
Rye was SOwn one year when the
potatoes were taken out in Septem-
Der, and a heavy sod it made to turn
under for oats in April.
Another year rye was sown on corn
stubble after the corn was cut at the
rate of n and o~ne-quarter bushels
per acre, and it made a fair cover
crop, which 1 know prevented wash
ing, though the ground was narrowed
only twice before drilling in the seed.
Dwarf rape l lave always sown at
the rate of ten pounds of seed per
acre just before %cultivating the corn
the last time in July, and have had
a good growth until late in the fall,
which would have made excellent pas
ture, but a owe crop was desired, so
it was left till spring and turned un-
der for oats to enrich and make hui
mus in the soil.
I should judge it's value as a f~ertiliz.
er is about Sc per acre, and the seed
costs only seven cents per pound.
Some of the rape was green all win
ter, and persons seeing the growth
it had made in the standing corr were
surprised, while the growth of COW
pears in the same field was not en-.
c~ouraging. Crimson clover is a good
catch crop, if n can secure a stand,
and it lives through the winter. Rape
is the best crop for me-, considering
the cost Of seed and it's fertilizing
value, and y is very good, especially
when it is to be turned under for po-
tatoes, or one wishes to pasture it in
the fall. N. Clover, Pennsylvania.

OF CLOVER
Pestiferous Little Fly Does Much
Damage.
Seed Nudge, One Of the Most De-
structive Insects That the Farmer
Has to conted With, So Small
Can Hardly Be Seen.
BY PROF. T. w. FOLSOM,
Illinois College of Agriculture.

Illinois College OF Agriculture.
The worst of the seed pests is the
seed nudge. This fly is SO small that
you may not nave seen it, but you can
find many of them in the clover fields
when they are nos abundant.
In other words, they are most abun-
dant when young green clover heads
are most numerous. They are abun-
dant late in July and early in August.
They lay their eggs OF the green
clover heads. They will not lay them
on heads that are ON bloom or heads
that have ripened. The female has a
long, flexible lash-like ovipositor which
she inserts among the flowers, laying
an 81 at the base of a floret.
These eggs are barely visible to the
naked eye, they are SO small. They
hatch in three days, and the grub, red
dish, pinkish or sometimes white,
squeezes into the bud and devours the
semi-fluid contents of the ovary.
This is, of course before the flower
has been fertilized. Now we can get
rid OF this pest very easily. All you
need to do to save YOU seed from the
nudge is to cut the hay crop a little
carrier than usual.
You can even wait until part of the
clover is fresh in bloom, but you
should not wait until many of the
heads have turned brown.
If you cut you clover early you
catch these grubs in the heads and
they are killed as the clover dries.
Furthermore, o hasten the matur-
ity of the second crop of heads, and
by the time the second brood of
mldges is on the wing the heads are
too ripe for them to lay their eggs in.
The adults are minute, black, fylike
insects. We find them in abundance
on clover heads about June IL, and
again in the middle of August.
They are most numerous whenever
there are the largest number of clover
heads just turning brown. These in
sects do not lay eggs in the green
heads like the seed nudge, and they
cannot lay eggs in seeds hat are
hard.
Most of the eggs are laid in the seeds
of flowers which have just begun to
wither-flowers that have been fertil-
lied and the seeds of which are going
to develop.
The female sticks her long, needle
like ovipositor into the green seed and
lays an egg therein, and the grub
when fully grown nearly fills the seed.
The adult escapes from the seed by
biting out a hole in the shell.
AT threshing time these shells are
swept away with the chaff, though
many of the seeds from which the
adult has not emerged remain behind
with the sound seeds. These affected
seeds can be easily recognized.
Glover seed having a grub in it will
not grow. If you want a good crop of
hay you don't want to let any of it turn
black. To get rid of this seed pest, cut
your clover early.

be made more effective by digging
