 DEVALERA PROTEST
Methodist Ministers De nounce Sim Fein Activi-
 ties and Propaganda

The action of the American Legion and other organizations in opposing the coming to Birmingham of Eamonn De Valera was indorsed by the Methodist ministers of the Birmingham and Bes- semer districts at a meeting held by the pastors association yesterday
 The resolution also condemned the activities of the Sim Fein organzatlon in this country and deplored the action tenancing Sim Fein propaganda.
 The resolutions, in part, follow:
 l. That in the name of patriotic Americans. we heartily indorse the ac- tion of the American Legion, Post No. 1, of Birmingham, touching the sim FBin propaganda and the proposed vsit to our city of Mir. DeValera, so- called president of the so-calied Irish republic.
 ,. That while we believe in free speech and free assembly of Ameri- can citizens for Americanism, we re- pudiate the supposed right of for eigners to be fr9e to spread among us perniciods foreign propaganda to the subversion of peace and harmony among us and our allies.
 3. That we believe the pro-German and anti-ally record made by the Sim n-Develera propaganda is to be regarded as a humiliating spectacle of playing politics-unworthy of the American Senate. and that such ac- ton cannot be deemed fairly expres- sive and properly representative of the American spirit. and should be re pudiated by all patriotic American people.
 The resolutions are signed by Dr. J. W. Johnson. Dr. P. B. Wells, Dr. J c. Persinger. pr. c. E. Boyd and Dr. E. M. Glenn. committee.

Instances are on record showing
that the elovers seed caterpillar has
at ,times' destroyed from 20 to 90
pet cent of the seed.
how TO CONTROL CLOVER SEED
@ INSECTS
Becausc the clover flower nudge.
andNthe clover seed chalcid and the
clover seed caterpillar all winter ov-
err In dead clover heads and old ciov-
eT stalks and trasr in the fielis and
on the road sides they may all be
DESTROYED by the SAINT methods.
Pasturing such places with sheep
accounts for part Of the truth in the
old saying 1.-THE hoof Of the sheep is

sSheep1 eat the Old clover heads in
thd fall aid tfiey trim up the frs,
clover heads in the spring clong with
nuinerous weeds that protect and
harbor predacious insects. In this
way millions of troublesome insects
are destroyed before they have time
to lay their eggs. or II the eggs are
deposited the sheep get them before
they have time to lay their eggs, or
II the eggs are deposited the sheep
get them before they are Matched.
Further protection Of the clover
seed crop Is secured by starting the
seed producing plants early, say
about the middle OF June in the lat
itude of northern Illinois and south
ern Wisconsin. Farther north the
fifth or tenth Of June is better.
This plan destroys the first or
early breeds OF troublesome insects
and the clover seed ripens before the
late second broods are ready to work
mischief.
Burning trash to kill insects often
Is recommended but II Is wasteful OF

CLOVER SEED CHALCIO

The clover seed chalcid fly IL
somewhat similar in appearance 10
the clover flower nudge, but is
brown or black In color and its
eggs laying habit is quite different.
THE female chalcid fly is about one
twelfth OF an inch long. Wings al
most transparent. Legs marked
with brown or red. She has pointed
ovipositor that she pushes through
the seed pod and deposites the egg
right into the plastic seed. The lit
tie grub that matches is small enough
to live within the seed so the germ
Is eaten and the seed goes light.
The flys Of the first borod hatch
In time to lay the main cache Of
eggs early in August when the seed
heads OF clover are forming and
the new seeds are soft. Summer
flys are the ones that reduce the
yield OF clover seed.
CLOVER SEED CATERPILLAR
The adult or forerunner Of the
clover seed caterpillar is small,
fancy brown moth with silvery mark
iAgs. .-
She lays her eggs at the base OF
young clover heads that. are just
forming. The eggs hatch into ctter-
pillars which feed on the clover seed
pods. They make a dirty looking
muss that may be easily seen by pull
ling the flowers apart. Sometimes
the clover heads are completely de-
stroyed, often one side may escape
and produce few sterile floreta.
The caterpillar when full grown is
about half an Inch long. Under the
microscope the eggs " green
