Advocates of prohibition succeed

record vote in the Senate on that
question to-day, when motion TO
suspend the rules and take up for
immediate consideration the resolu-

PESTS DESTROY
YOUNG CLOVER
Farm Agent Shows How Cul-
tural Methods Will
Destroy Them

Repeated complaints have been
made to H. G. Niesley, county farm
agent, concerning the loss of young
clover due to peculiar pests. In the
weekly bulletin from the agency it
is pointed out while there is no way
to Kill the insects. culture methods
VIII eventually destroy them. The re-
port follows:
The attention has been brought to
the farm agent of Dauphin county to
number of times since actual work
began in the county relative to the
peculiar escape of the new clover.
Escape of this plant is due to one of
the two insects which are here ex-
planned. Probably most of the dying
out of clover after the second year
is commonly thought to be the result
of winter killing IS in reality due to
the activity of the clover root borer
Plants are either killed outright by
the insects themselves or are so weak
ened that they cannot withstand the
winter.
THE adult beetles lay their eggs
in rather shallow grooves which are
eaten out of the crown or along the
sides OF the tap root of the plant In
few days the eggs hatch and the
young grubs eat their way into the
root and proceed to tunnel UP and
down through the root system.
There is no direct way to kill the
insects. Culture methods must be
relied upon to destroy them. Badly
infested fields should be plowed up
just as soon as the hay crop has been
removed. This dries out the roots of
the clover plant and the young grubs
starve. In infested localities clover
fields should not be allowed to stand
more than two years. A system of
rotation in which the crop is moved
for hay the first year and pastured
and broken up the second year should
control this pest.
Another common insect whicn oc-
casionally causes some loss in this
county is the clover leaf weevil Both
the parent weevil and the grub feed
on the foliage of most clover, eating
out large holes in the leaves.
The insects pass the winter as
partly-grown grubs hidden in rubbish
around the clover field or just under
the soil In the spring they feed on
the foliage. Most of the feeding is
done in the night. During the day
the grubs lie curled up at the base
of the plant or sometimes remain
curled around the stalk.
Usually these insects are not abun-
tehI tiiOb6 IL " IdbSt very SSIlOuS III
jury to the plant However, If dam
age is anticipated, 1t is advisable to
pasture the clover or to clip it back
in the spring. This has a tendency to
check the grubs.
I'm case of serious mfestation IT is
sometimes advisable to cut and re-
move the clover and then go over the
field with a roller or a brush drag
of some sort. A satisfactory brush
drag is easily made at home. In this
way large numbers of the grubs may
be killed. In very severe cases Vt
may be well to spray the clover field
with arsenate of lead-about four
pounds of the paste to fifty gallons of
water.
1T is obvious, of course. that under
these conditions the clover should not
be used as feed for stock and that
horses, cows or other animals should
not be allowed to Craze on or have
access to the sprayed fields"

BELGIAN MISSION
Is WELCOMED ON
FLOOR OF HOUSE
Envoy of War Ravaged Coun-
try Sees Victory With
L. S. Aid
BY associated Press

Washington, June 27.-The Bel
eheur, was received to-day in the
House, Galleries were crowded with
an enthusiastic audience and the
floor was filed with members who
gave an enthusiastic reception.
After being introduced to the
House, Baron Moncheur spoke in
part as follows:
IF years ago l admired your coun-
try in the fullness of prosperity and
wondered at your industrial genius
and the marvellous activity of your
citizens; it is with even greater ad-
miration that l now see your entire
nation rise as one man to answer
the voice of your President calling
upon you to put forth all your efforts
and devotion for the defense of free
dom and the rights of mankind, All
the sons of America, without dfstinc-
ton of race or of party have rallied
to your flag. They think only OF their
duty to their country. They are ever
ready to sacrifice their private and
personal interests and leaving behind
them their dear ones who will be
plunged in grief and tears on account
of their absence, they rallied to the
Star Spangled Banner which for the
first time in your history has crossed
the ocean to float over the battlefields
of the old world.
''As in the middle ages the knights
Were accustomed to hold a vigil,
watching their armor in the chapel,
so you to-day are making the same
holy and prayerful preparation for
the battle to come. Everywhere you
are carrying on work which day by
day brings nearer the moment of
supreme victory. While the flower of
American youth is preparing itself in
your splendid training camps your
shipyards, your factories and your
munition plants resound with the
hum of feverish work providing your
soldiers with the implements of
war"
