Bugs Live Under
Leaves of Clover
Important Discovery Made For Pro-
fessOr A. c. Burrill In Extension
Work Here.

The theory heretofore universally
tentatively accepted by scientists, that
the clover aphis was preserved over
winter solely through eggs laid >
trees has been dissipated by the *
periments of Professor A c. Burrin.
OF the university extension work who
yesterday brought some specimens OF
live aphis taken from under a small
snowdrift in the Brown pasture, where
they had been tramped under foot by
horses during the entire fall and win
ter. The specimens were neither live
ly nor lifeless, just alive, and looked
as if not wholly satisfied with the
clover leaf covering. Professor Bur
rill said that fully five hundred thou
sand of those he had been watching
had persisted so far, although the win
ter had been very mild. He suspected
that all the live ones taken from the
open field would pass away before
spring, but he also felt convinced that
where aphis in an open field tramp
ed under foot could survive so long,
others in sheltered spots in the CAM.
yon would live through the winter
The discovery is important and will
probably reyolutionize methods of
fighting the aphis.
