Glover Hay Worm

In some parts of the country the
owners of hay stacks will be surpris
ed to find a horde of catipillals chew
ing away at the bottom of the pile
within the next month or SO. This
larva is the clover hay worm and
there is no other name for it, although
it effects alfalfa and timothy stacks
alike. If there are not many of the
worms, the hay may be fed out, al
though the quicker this is done the
better. When thick, these catipillars
frequently spoil the hay, not only by
eating it, but by weaving silky threads
through it and dropping their gun
powder-like excrement. All that can
be done with such hay is to burn it.
Next June the catipillars change to
small, purplish colored moths, which
look around for alfalfa or clover hay
on which to lay their eggs. The way
to get the better of this worm is to
thoroughly clean up all infested hay
and burn it with the catipillars in the

ton of the kind in the state.

, favoring the passage of bill to pro-
vide for the appointment of single

turning over of all improvement funds
to the highway commission. The
resolutions also provide for the en-
dorsement of the bill which provides
for n uniform annual state automo-
bile tax.
Among those who addressed the
delegation were Governor Ammons
Speaker Skinner of the House and

men expressed themselves as In favor
