that eventually he would find a place after

SAVING CLOVER SEED CROP.
Crop Pest Expert Tells How TO Con-
trol Midge Which Destroys Glover

Sctu.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis ore, Sept 30.-Dasyneura le-
guminicola Lint, a clover seed midge
which prevents the formation of the
seed in the blossoms, has been re-
ported as abundant in various parts
of the state and A. L. Lovett of the
crop pest force of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college has been making in
vestigations.
England, ontario and most of our
states where red clover is grown are
troubled with this pest, as the red
clover is its favoTite host plant says
Mr. Lovett. THE white clover, al
sike, and possibly the Mammoth Glow
er are also attacked. The larvae en-
ter the flower buds and feed on the
contents of the oVaries, preventing
the formation of the seed. The in
jury is more serious each. year that
the field is allowed to run.
The adult female fly is so small and
active that 1t is, seldom seen in the
field. 1t has lung slender legs, sim
gle pair of wings and a pinkish body.
1t is about two millimeters long and
when the ovipositor is extended near
" 8 mil meters in length. 1t has
many natural enemies in the middle
west, and several methods to con-
troll it may be used. Pasuring the
field in the spring or early summer
destroys the midges and varies the
time of the main cutting for seed. If
the hay crop is cut early it will
slightly reduce the yield of hay, but
it will insure a heavy seed crop. The
seed crop may be moved back just
after it starts, and TINS will delay the
heading enough TO miss the second
brood of flies.
Near Portland the maggots were
found in large numbers in managers
where clover hay was being fed. but
as yet it has not been found that the
presence of the maggot is detriment-
al to stock or that it lessons the vol
ume of hay

Paris.-As | was hurrying through
the woods today, near Barbison. to
keep an appointment at Fontainbleu,
l had the rare good fortune to meet
Vladimir de Pachmann.
With the urbanity of which he has
the secret, the distinguished pianist
lured me back to his hotel, and there
for fully an hour he entertained me
with a monologue, a rhapsody.
The theme-with variations-was
De Pachmann.
De Pachmann, as a man. as star,
as an artist; De Pachmann as friend
foe, a judge; De Pachmann in all
moods and various lenses.
He had his subject at his fingers
ends. Now he would talk in French,
now in English. Then. all at once,
he meandered into German. Only
once he touched his theme in Polish.

He admitted. with much brightness,
that he admired De Pachmann. There
had been other pianists-iust few.
He named them, But, with the eX-
ception, as it seemed. of L'szt and

haps of Godowski, there really never

music at the piano.

cold, too heavy. Joseffy? He was so
reserved" Besides, he had no lega-
