GLOVER AND ALFALFA.

By George Severance, Supt. Western Washington
Experiment Station.
Red clover is preferable to alfalfa
wherever the crop is desired primarily
for its beneficial influence upon the
soil and when a short rotation is de-
sired. For two or three years after
seeding, red clover produces hay and
pasturage about equal to that pro-
duced by alfalfa, but generally it prac-
tically dies out after the third year.
Alfalfa keeps up its yield Indefinitely
if properly cultivated. Hence, alfalfa
is preferable to red clover if the pri-
mary purpose is to secure a perma-
nent, long-lived meadow or pasture.
Alfalfa is also more likely to make a
fair stand where the soil preparation
and seeding are not done with suffi-
cient care.
To obtain uniform success with
clover, it is important to observe the
following essentials:
Good seed. "A firm seed bed
which will hold moisture near the sur
face. 3.-A shallow but well pulver-
lied mulch. 4.-Seeding with drill or
other implement which will place the
seed on the firm, moist earth under
the loose, dry mulch. 5.-Absence of
a nurse crop. 6.-Avoiding pasturing
the clover until it is well established.
7.-Protection from squirrels.
Only seed of high vitality and free
from noxiuos weed seeds should be
purchased. The vitality may be de-
termined by counting out two hundred
or more seeds representing an average
of the entire lot and determining the
percentage of these which will germi-
nate between moist blotting papers or
cloths kept at growing temperature.
Examine the seed carefully for the
presence of weed seed. The cleanest
looking sample may not always be the
best, because of the very noxios char
acter of the weeds represented by a
few seeds. Poor seed is dear at any
price, and it is false economy to pur-
chase poor seed because it is lower in
price. The source from which the
seed comes does not seem to be as i'm
portant in the case Of clover as in that
of corn or other farm products. In
experiments of the Washington exper-
iment station in 1902 seed was secured
from thirty-eight different sources, in
cluding several foreign countries.
Practically no difference in results was
obtained, except poor stand where
poor seed was used.

BRIEFS.

U. S. Grant Jr., son of the 18th
president of the United States, is now
president of the Panama California
Exposition, to be held in San Diego
throughout the entire year 1915.
Sir Thomas Upton has signified his
intention of bringing one of his Sham
rocks to San Diego in 1915 to take
part in ocean yacht races that are be-
ing arranged during the Panama CAL
ifornia Exposition.
Lyman j. Gage, one time secretary
of the United States treasury, is one
of the active vice presidents of the
Panama California Exposition, to be
held during the year 1915 at San
Diego, Cal.
In the harbor of San Diego this
spring were eighteen warships at an
Choir. The members of the crews had
a week of boat racing on the bay and
declare the racing course one of the
best in the world.
San Diego will hold four days of
pageantry and celebrating beginning
July 10, to celebrate ground breaking
for the Panama California Exposition
to be held in that city in 1915. The
pageants will surpass in spectacular
effect anything ever held on the Pa
cific Coast.
Frank ..P.:: Allen, who built the
Alaska Yukon Exposition, is director
of works of the Panama California
Exposition, in San Diego in 1915.

FLAT-HEAD APPLE TREE BoRER

H. F. Wilson. Assistant Entomologist, Oregon
Agricultural College. Corvallis.
"The records of the entomologist of
the Oregon Agricultural college show
that there has been reported injuries
by this species in Oregon for the last
fifteen or twenty years, and that these
injuries are usually upon two or three
year old trees. With the large num-
ber of young trees that have been set
out during the past few seasons, these
reports have grown more numerous,
and considerable number of trees
have been reported as killed.
Usually the fruit grower notices
that some one or more trees planted
the previous season appear unthrifty.
Upon examination, the trees are found
to be attacked at point near the
surface of the ground by long, fiat,
broad-headed worm, which has worked
along the bark, cutting broad chan
mel and usually girdling the trees.
The place of infestation may be de-
tected by the discolored bark covering
the tunnel made by the borer.
The adult of this insect is a green
ish, metallic brown beetle measuring
half-inch in length. The body above
is flattened, and in fresh specimens is
coated with grayish powder. The
under side of the body is bronze COL
ored.
The adults come out in the spring,
and, after mating, the females begin
laying the eggs upon the bark; the
forthcoming larvae bore into the bark,
excavating broad burrow just under
the outside layer. The broad heads of
the larvae cause the necessity of a
wide burrow, and as the insects
grow this channel is made wider, so
that frequently it may be three
eighths of an inch or more in width.
The larvae continue feeding through
out the summer, and when full grown
bore directly into the sapwood of the
tree, pupate, and remaining there un-
til spring, come forth as adult beet
les. Reports of injury usually come
in the fall of the year, as it is then
that the insect has finished its work
and the tree begins to show the effect
of the injury. In the case of large

Washington Specially

trees the insect probably goes deeper
into the wood from the beginning
where it feeds and lives until ready for
pupation. In other sections of the
United States it has been reported as
working mostly in the parts of the
trees ranging from the base of the
trunk to the limbs.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion regarding the health condition
of the trees attacked, but in Oregon
the first signs of trouble appear as a
result of the damage caused by the in
sect itself. Besides the apple, num-
ber of other trees are attacked, as the
pear, peach, prune, and some shade
and forest trees.
Clean culture should be thoroughly
practiced, and nurseries should not be
located near infested orchards. When
pa tree seems to be injured beyond re-
covery it should be removed and
burned, so as to get any larvae or
pupae which may be present in the
infested tree.
Perhaps the best preventive meth
DDS are mechanical barriers. These
may be defined as something placed
about the trunk of the trees so that
the adults cannot lay their eggs upon
the bark.
Newspapers or untarred building
paper will do for this purpose, if
bound with string and tied at top and
bottom, so as not to permit the beetles
crawling under. The string used
should be such that the expansion of
the trees can break it, should the
growth be excessive. Window screen
may be used, but must be placed far
enough away from the bark so that
the eggs cannot be laid through the
meshes of the wire. Cotton should
be placed about the opening at the
top so that the beetles cannot crawl
under. In case of any of these bar
riers, the dirt should be mounded up
above the base of the tree so that the
adults cannot crawl under them at the
bottom.
A good stiff whitewash containing
crude carbolic acid should be applied
to the trunks of the trees above the
barriers. If the orchardist thinks
these are too troublesome, perhaps the

!, San Diego de Alcala (St. James of
Alcala) was the first mission in Cali
fornia and was founded by the leader
of the Franciscans, Junipero Sierra, in
1869. Near this mission Cabrillo
landed in 1542, the first white man on
the Pacific Coast of the United States.
One of the beautiful features of the
celebration and pageantry planned in
San Diego for July 10 to %, will be
the Ramona legend, taken from Helen
Hunt Jackson's romance of Ramona
and Allesandro.
1t is the purpose of the committee
in charge to costume Ramona and her
friends, as we'll as hundreds of char
acters of that period, in suitable dress
and to have her hold court with King
Cabrillo, who for this occasion will be
transformed from bluff old piratical
sea dog to a magnificent creature of
silks and satins.
AS nearly as possible Ramona s
court will enact the principal scenes
of the romance, with Ramona as the
central figure. No pains are being
spared to make the representation as
accurate historically, both in action
and costuming, as possible.
Huge mission arches are to be erect
ed in the streets of the city. The
whole city will be suitably decorated
and hundreds of persons will be on the
streets night and day in appropriate
costumes. AS far as possible and
compatible with business, San Diego
will simply suspend ordinary activi-
ties, dress herself in gala attire and
do nothing but entertain her guests,
eat, drink, sing, dance and be merry.
The celebration is in honor of the

To Build a Beautiful City.

The Pacific Northwest has sent out
several men who are taking prom
inent part in big affairs in other
places. One of these is Frank P.
Allen, the constructor of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc exposition, who is now
director of works of the Panama Cali
fornia exposition, to be held in San
Diego, CAL, during the year 1915.
Mr.. Allen has associated with him
Bertram G. Goodhue, who is designing
the buildings and John Clark Olmsted,
who devised the landscape features of
the 1400-acre park in which the expo
sition will be built. These three men
promise the most beautiful grouping
of buildings ever built.

They Want a New Rose,

The Panama California Exposition,
which is to be held in San Diego
throughout the entire year, of 1915,
has offered prize of 81, 900 for a rose
to be called the "San Diego" The
Floral association of San Diego has
suggested that this rose should be of a
deep golden yellow, with the hardi-
hood of the strongest varieties now
grown, but this is only suggestion.
The contest is open to all persons in
the United States, any floral society or
club, in fact any person or association.
The rose must be shown at the exposi-
tion in 1915, so that there are four
