Pupa.
Both the stems and the leaves are
pierced by many hemipterous insects,
especially aphids and jassids, and are
eaten by a great variety of caterpfl-
lars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are
also the heads Of the flowers. The
ovule is destroyed by the emaggot OF
the seed-midge, and the developiDg
seed Is eaten out by the seed-chalcid.
Even the hay is the special food OLA
certain caterpillar, hence called the
clover hay worm
Some of the insects of the clover
field are, Of course, beneficial. Such
are those that pollinize the flowers
bumblebees and, to some extent, honey
bees, as well as those that act as
checks on the injurious insects.
Most Of the clover insects are mot
limited to clover, but to other food
plants as we'll The seed-midge and
the seed-caterpillar are, however, con-
fined to the clovers, and the seed
chalcid to clovers and alfalfa SO far
as known The ~root-borer is said to
eat peas as weHs as clover. The hay
worm has been found only on hay as
yet, but the moth has been raised
from masses of dead grape leaves
taken In a vineyard. The leaf weevil
is reported from beans and timothy,
as well as clover and alfalfa The
clover louise has been pest of the
worst kind on peas and has long
list Of food plants. OF the less i'm
portant clover insects, few have no.
other food plant; but the majority can,
easily maintain their existence when
no clover is at hand.
The combined efforts of all the in.
sects are sufficient to reduce the hay
crop materially every year Aside
from the occasional conspicuous in
jury, there is every year, a steady
drain on the,plnnt throughathe attacks
of insects. This annual drain is not
noticed for the very reason that 1t
occurs every year. II we. could keep
oil the insects out OF thapc clover field.

crop unless certain precautions are
taken. Many influences combine to
reduce the crop of seed The worst
injuries to the seed are insidious in
their nature, and are caused by in
sects. These injuries are Of three
classes: ID Those of a negative kind,
due to lack Of pollination. CD The
positive injuries due to miscellaneous
insects that eat clover heads in an In
cidental way. (3) The positive injuries
caused by insects that feed solely upon
clover seeds or forets. The first two
groups are relatively unimportant IN
comparison with the last.
| The Importance of the bumblebee In
the polIination of red clover is so wen
established as to need no discussion
That of the honeybee, however, Is not
sufh GENTLY recognized. The honeybee
poNinizes clover to some extent, even
though it's tongue is two millinseters,
shCster than the average coralla tube.
A field of red clover is always
thronged with honeybees If any OF
Them are being kept within mile or
two 81 the place; and these bees Sc
cure nectar from flowers that are IN
dersiDed especially in times OF
drought, when most of the flowers are
smaller than usual; also from flowers
that secrcte a copfous amount of nee
tar. The bees, bumblebees especially
should be protected always. They ar5
the best friends of the clover grower.
Early pasturtzrg Is the secret of b
good seed CROP, as the growers in New
York, Ohio, Michigan and other states
have found. The explanation Is sim
pie. The fact is that pasturing gives
a good seed crop for the reason that
it delays the heading of the plant until
time when. the seed-midges and
seed chaEeids are no longer on the
wing and laying eggs. When precau-
tons are not taken against these
pests, they can bs counted upon every
year, to destroy most of the clover
seed. In some localities these two in
sects eat from so to rs per cent of the
reda clover seed every year without

Those who raise clover seed ON

methods which operate chiefly against

ERECTING NEW BUILDINGS

The Republican editor was at
Guthrie Center last Sunday and
while there met Mr.. Edwards, the
secretary of the Guthrie County Fair
He told us that the association was
now in splendid shape financially.
They are building a lot of new build
ings this year and making all sorts
of preparations for the fair which
comes the week following our own
fair. Mr.. Edwards Is hus ,let and
the people of ais town and county are
giving him the backing he deserves.
AS usual this section of the country
will be well represented at the fair
and next week we will give them a
list of the attractions. A great
many Guthrie county people attend
our fair and its only courtesy on our
part to send good delegation from
here to help swell their crowds.
Guthrie Center has a good sociable
class of people and when strangers
come within their gates, every man
seems to be a committee of one to
make that stranger feel at home.
The Guthrie Center spirit is Of in
estimable value.

Mr.. Adams, while away spent but
three weeks at PittsburG. the re-

Of the Musicians Supply Co., Of
Boston.
While there he worked at the
bench from 1880 q. M, until 6Np. M,
and finished the making of two vio-
Inns on which he had the rough work
done before leaving Audubon. A
practical violin maker Of the factory
told Mr.. Adams that the yiolins were
both excellent instruments and val
ued them at $500.
In conversation with Frank he told
us that he received 50 many compli-
ments that he almost got the swell
head, but then his modesty will not
permit OF such, so he can always be
approached in the old familiar way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams both enjoyed
their visit very much and were in
deed benefited by the trip and are
greatly pleased to be back in Audu-
bon again.

NIGHTM GRADE GRADUATING
ExERCIBEs SUOCEeeFUI

In spite of the storm there was q
goodly attendance at the High School
last Saturday ct the Eighth Grade
Graduating Exercises.
The invocation was given by Rev.
D. w. Bryant o fthe Christian church
The Camp Fire Girls gave some fina
work in their drill, Miss Ruth wat
s0n and Miss LOrain Graham leading
them n the work. Mrs. Simon Han
sen and Mrs. Geo. Buck were also
present. They are'two Of the sew
eral mothers Of the town who have
been much interested In the organi-
1ation. S.js
The Boy Scouts Of Extra were en-
Dectsd, but for some reason were tln-
able 70 come.
Mise Mildred Buck rendered some
bcautitul music. Miss Mildred dis
plays great talent In this line.
Mr. Charles 3. Lyles gave one Of
the best addresses ever given at
these exercises ON the subject, I'VE
are No Longer Content With the
Good, for We Want the Best" 4
was surely 3 very practical and sug-
ge1tlvO address.
This address was followed BY the
presentation Of diplomas BY the
County superintendent. Miss Hlla NJ.
Gtear1D.
Miss stearns informes 40 that she
q doubtful whether she can hold any
more graduaAing exercises for the
Eighth Grade - there n no fund on
which TO- draw to meet the expenge.
We learn that the speaker and others
on the program donated their SER
vlcoo for the program held last Sat-
urday and the county superintendent
paid the incidental expenses herself.
This 81 not right. Audubon county
= able to make some provision for
the young people for In most Of the
county schools boys and girls, have
quite Q struggle to remain In school
long enough to complete the eighth
grade. Therefore We believe they
should be given recognition and en-
Couragement. Let the eighth grade
graduating exercises become per-
manent occasion.
