FIND WAY TO KILL
LUCERNE WEEVIL

That the lucerne weeyil a be
eXterminated has been proven in
the southern part Of Utah. where
the pest is probably more prevalent
than in any other locality. says the
Salt Lake Herald Republican. One
rancher- in Washington county who
has more that 1000 acres planted
to alfalfa has been successful in
Kidding his property Of the pest
that within recent years has caused
so much devastation. The plan is
10 wait until the lucerne has attain
cd a height Of from four 10 eight
inches, and then turn a flock OF
sheep into the field, and allow them
to eat every particle of the plants
right down to the roots.
The lucerne weevil is very hardy.
They are frequently found under
boards that have laid on the ground
for some time. The frost does not
effect the bug and in the spring it
comes forth hale and hearty.
After t. egg is laid the weevil
burrow-s in'o the ground. where it
remains caring the winter months.
When tn. alfalfa commences to get
nice and juicy the bug climbs into
the stem and deposits its eggs in
the head Of the lucernc.
The plan of turning sheep into
the field to feed on the weeviI
infected alfalfa not only extermin-
ates the older insects. but it cleans
out the young stock. The sheep
eat out the lucernc and eggs of the
insect and trample out the old
bugs.
1t will take some time to DO this
however, but by constantly destroy
ing the young. the pest will be cx-
terminated eventually. Those
ranchers who have tried this ex-
pertinent lost the first alfalfa
growth Of from four to eight
inches, but they scarcely noticed
any diminution by the end of the
season. But the Iucerenc must be
eaten down to the ground to kill
the bug.
Care must be taken not to place
a flock of hungry sheep in a wet
field Of alfalfa, or it might prove
disastrous to the flock.

THE MORE lIGHI TIE BETTER

There is a general country wide
protest against the publicity
clause Of the corporation tax law.
1t comes not from the people, but
from the organizations which are
generally referred to as commercial
bodies.
Not so very long ago there was
much protest throughout the land
because excessive prosperity brought
about consequent excessive COM
pany formation. Companies or
gained readily garnered the earn
ings Of he people because the public
did not stop to discriminate, but
looking for investment, rushed pell-
nell with their money at what
seemed the most plausible investi-
turc.
1t was formerly conceded that
due publicity would have stopped
all the ill-advised financing of illicit
company formation. 1t was a
theme after the panic of three years
ago, yet today commercial bodies
all over the country are raising their
highly respectable voices against
the publicly clause Of the corpora.

important feature than the tax it.
self. The argument is advaccd that
this clause exposes the business
methods of the compaies doing bust
ness, giving rival or competing
companies an insight into their COM
petitors operations. The claim is
scarcely logical.
Sometimes large companies have
failed after years of what proved to
be misrepresentation of their condi-
ton. Companies which have no.
thing to fear should make no pro-
test. Throw the spotlight of pub
licity on the corporation; give the
stockholders a chance; let a little
sunshine fall on slush funds and
yellow dog" funds. These are the
conditions from whence come the
protest Of the company. Stand by
the public clause for the minority
stockholders sake White light
kills microbes and the white light of
publicity will kill the germs which

IxsURGIHG IN UNEXPECTED PARTS

In the most unexpected places in
surgency is turning up and turning
up in most unexpected strength.
In Maine a movement closely allied
with insurgent movement Of the
West has already had made astonish-
ing head way against Senator Eu-
gene Hale.
In the direction of party affairs
IN his home state this son-in-law OF
Zach Chandler has adopted many Of
the Chandler methods But things
that were tolerated a generation
ago are obnoxious TO those Of this
generation. and in all the thirty
years Of his service in the senate
things have never looked as threat
ening for Mr. Hale as they do this
year.
Judge Friedrich A Powers Is the
candidate against him, and il Is de-
clared that if the direct nomination
prevailed in Maine he would easily
win the election And his prospects
before the legislature IS by no
means unfayOrable. Senator Hale
has a strong arm hold on the party
as a whole. but it happens that the
counties In which he is strongest
have lately been sending Democrats
to the legislature quite regularly.
whereas most Of the Powers cOun-
ties send republicans. If this COL
league Of Mr.. Aldrich, the man who
ranks second 10 him in the party Of
the Rhode Islanders and standpat-
tiers, escapes defeat, ne will at last
have gathered a heightened respect
for the strength Of insurgency.
And another place where insur-
gency is showing up strong is none
other than the district Of John
Dallzell, original standpatter. who
is so intimately identified with an
other phase of republican policies
that if Cannonism did not bear that
name it would be called Dalzellism.
The graft scandal in Pittsburg has
unsettled everything in politics and
there is a yociferous demand for a
change in congress as well as else
where. Mr.. ..DalzelI is described
as seriously alarmed. for the first
time in twenty-five years, and
hastily left Washington Saturday
for Pittsburg to look after his
political interests.
In discussing Beveridge, Cover
nor Marshall of Indiana in an inter
view in the New York Times esti-
mates that mot more than 40 per
cent of the republicans of that state
