will destroy vast numbers Of the pupae
of this insect. which do not descend
much more than an inch below the
surface. The disking and narrowing
should be done Immediately after re-
moving the first hay crop, and prompt
action even at this time will not pre-
vent injury to that seasons crop, but
should considerably reduce the pest
the following year
The debredations Of the grubs are
confined particularly to the roots or
clover aud alfalfa. Their work is
therefore not evident to the casual OBJ
server. and the little white insects
themselves can hardly be noticed. The
adult insect also. which is a tiny bee
tie, Injuries both clover and alfalfa, but
these injuries are less serious, although
more noticeable. They may be partic-
ularly noticed in September and Octo-
ber when mutilated clover leaves along
any roadside will testify to their abun-
dance.
1t was only in May, 1914, that the
first absolute proof was secured Of the
insects serious devastatiOns in alfalfa
fields. and the department is still look
ing for the most practicable methods
to prevent further losses. 1t seems
that a short rotation Of the alfalfa crop
might have a tendency to limit the
abundance of the insects in the fields,
but this would not affect the cOntinu-
GUS breeding Of the pest in waste lands
or where clover or alfalfa occur unin-
terruptedly. The limited amount Of
food consumed by the adults would
place the application Of pOisons out Of
practical consideration, and the burn
ing over of fields in winter would hard
ly destroy enough Of the alternating
adults to limit their devastatiOns the
following season.

A MENACE TO ALFALFA.
Clover Root Pest or cureulio Grub a
Dangerous Insect.

Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
The clover root curculiO in its most
dangerous form is a tiny grub which
seriously injuries the roots both of
clover and alfalfa, sometimes working
upward into the stem. Only a short
time ago it was considered Of little
economic Importance, but it has now
been definitely established that serious
injuries formerly credited to other
pests or with their cause unknown
are due to this tiny white grub. The
insect seems to be continually increas-
ing along roadsides and in clover fields,
and the department is now requesting
that alfalfa growers report to it any
evidences Of the insects devastations.
This insect is now found in most of
the northern states east of the Mis-
sissippi; also in Washington, Oregon.

If the radish plants stand too thickly
thin them to stand at proper distances.
The small button radishes need not be
more than one and One-half inches
apart in the row, while the long rooted
varieties should be about three inches
apart Thinning is often necessary to
obtain roots of large and uniform size.
Beets often come up too thickly and
should be thinned. This operation is
even more important than for radishes.
Parsnips, carrots, satisfy and early
turnips may also require attention in
this respect

DELAWARE AUTO OWNERS.

Delaware has one automobile to ev-
cry siXty-eight persons living in this
state. according to figures presented
in a recent issue of the Municipal

average for states in this country,
which is one automobile to every Sc
persons. Delaware stands twenty
ninth in the lists of the states in this
respect.
Pennsylvania has one automobile to
every 72 persons; New Jersey, one to
every "A persons, Maryland, one to
every 66 persons. Rhode Island,
whose registration is three times as
great as that in Delaware, has one
automobile to every AZ persons.
Delaware had a registration in 1914
of 3,O50 automobiles and the gross
registration revenues in this state
were S35,672. Rhode Island had a
registration of 1881, and revenues
amounting to S157,O20, Pennsylvan-
las registration was 112,S54 and re-

Iowa has one automobile to every
twenty-One persons, leading in this
respect while Mississippi has the
fewest compared with population with
one automobile to every 329 persons.
Altogether the total number of auto
mobiles registered during the year in

the signs of the times it is quite evil
dent that we are approaching a cycle
in the history Of the world where the
forms Of society are to be recast
/ To state it more correctly, civiliza-
ton, sO-called, has not yet arrived at
that stage of social evolution where
society is to take on a scientific
form; one that satisfies, at least to
some extent, the demands of reason
and the more developed sense Of JUS
tice which comes with the develop
ment of human intelligence and con-.
sequent. scientific progress. There
are many indexes now pointing to the
fact that human nature has evolved
sufficiently so as to make social re-
construction necessary, and govern
ment must very soon take on the
form of social service instead of be-
ing a factor of social exploitation on
behalf of the ruling class, as it has
been so far in history.
There are already notable ex-
amples throughout the world that
government is becoming scientific
and is making a beginning at its new
aim of trying to make people happy
instead Of letting them drift in
chaotic misery. This results from
the newly-discovered fact that Justice
in the social order Of things is just as
necessary and binding to the health
and life of society as the law Of
graVitation is in the world of masses.
So just as in order to build a house
intelIigently an architect has to first
make blue prints of the design and
study well the building details, so it
is time that we should start discuss

Open Forum have to say on this ques-
ton. It is refreshing to read these

. NATURE MATINGs-On June 8, in
the News, there was a writeup on the
subject of paroles for wife deseTters.
ItdeaH with the conditions in Detroit,
Mich, for last year. For that large
city there were 359, and for these
hard times do not believe it to be
very large.
The report was fair enough to blame
in measure the wives as well as the
eTTing husbands. OF the list of de-
serters 144 were natiVe-born Amer
leans and Canadians, Germans and
Austrians were next on the list, but
way down at the bottom was one
lone Scotchman.
Why he left the report does not
say. It might have been Peoria whis-
key, Canadian bourbon or oId-fash-
ioned Scotch whiskey. But is it not
remarkable how few Scotchmen de-
sert their wives? Scotties are GER
tainly plentiful in Detroit. AT least,
I know they are across the river in
Windsor Did any Of your experts
ever study how the Scotch. couples
mate? They do not consult Helen
Oldfeld, who has never tried mar
rage herself. Neither do they advise
with Beatrice Fairfax or-Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. The coUrtships of the Scotch
are short and sweet affairs, generally,
in tune with nature, and not accord
ing to HOyie."
You may study the mating of birds,
or even swans, and you will find a
similarity. Not cousin marriages;
not father and mother wanted us
to" marriages; not property mar
riages or big income marriages. No!
When the Scottie COOS his Iassie his
soul is raised to the heavens and
stays there because it is in tune with |
that soul
