weeviI, this pest would develop into
serious menace TO one Of Americas
most important crops--cloyer. The
clover-leaf weevil, even with this
handicap, is one of the most dagger
GUS of clover pests and exaets a large
annual toll. The larvae of the weevil
usually are checked by the fungous
disease, which spreads rapidly and re-
duces their numbers to a negligible
quantity in remarkably short time.
Brought From Europe.
Like many pests now present in this
country, the clover-leaf weevil was In
troduced accidentally from Europe,
where 1t is well known. The first rec
ord of its occurrence asa pest in the
United States was in 1881, when Sc
we're outbreak occurred at harrington,
N. ]. II is now found in practically
every section of the country where
clover is grown. It's chief food crop
is clover, but It also feeds on alfalfa
and sweet clover,
The adult weevil lays its eggs on
the stems of the clover plant, and In
early spring the larvae hatch and be-
gin to feed as soon as the clover starts
its growth. Larvae are most numer-
bus during April, but beginning with
May there is gradual falling Off in
. numbers, and by the end Of that month
or the middle Of June, practically oil
have completed their growth and spun
their pupal cocoon. The adult weevils,
or beetles, emerge in from 5 to 10
days, and feed steadily on the clover
plant for about two weeks, after
which they become semidormant, or
remain inactive until early in Septem-
Der. At this time they again become
active and feed for about a month,
during which the eggs are laid.
Hides During the Day.
Both the larvae and adult weevils
feed during the night and conceal
themselves in the day under rubbish
or in cracks In the ground Usually
they work on the underside Of the
leaves where they eat small holes and
are not seen except by the careful OBJ
server. The most important check on

GOVERNMENT BY BUREAUS

There has been considerable COM
plant about the growing tendency OF
the federal government to graVitate
towards the bureau system. Whether
the complaints are well founded only
the experience of individuals in their
dealings with the different depart
ment can attest.
We have some gIaring examples of
the system in the handling of the in
Gernal revenue department. Those
who pay income taxes often complain
the arbitrary ruling of some head
knocker who is locthed with authority
and armed with the power of the gov
ment to enforce his demands right
or wrong. All government docu-
ments are couched in such language as
ODE almost beyond the intelligence
of the average man, and no matter
how honest his intentions he is liable
TO err, in which case he promptly re-
ceiyes a reprimand, or ''calling-down
from some officials who interprets the
law according to his own or some su-
perior's ruling.
If we are to avoid these uninten-
tional errors of the individual, there
must be some change made in the
methods now in vogue. Clothing some
9wo,by-four clerk with the say-so as
10 what is right and what is wrong is
a system that promises to breed
trouble. An income taxpayer often
bucks up against the rulings of these
self-important individuals and invari-
ably is ordered to change his views
accordingly. If he should commit
some slight error in compiling his tax
statement, whereby the government
would lose pittance in taxes, the low
ers-that-be will spend countless dol
bars of the peoples money to make
him come across.
This centering Of government func-
tons in bureaus is entirely antagonis-
tic to American principles. Executive
power in the appointing OF employees
TO these positions is often abused in
order to favor political friends. Re-
sponsible to no one but the appointing
head, these appointtees are often in
competent and have a severe case of
sweil-head and are prone to exhibit
their authority and Importance on
every occasion. The unfortunate tax
payer who experiences a dose of their
wise rulings has practically no re-
course and must swallow his dose.
bitter as it may be. A change in these
methods is much desired if we are
TO rid the nation Of the often heard
charge that this democracy is growing
toward an autocracy.
