that way reduces the increase enor

down their numbers: then through

There are many other possibilities
for utilizing these natura. enemies In
the interest Of the farmer. There Is a
nema parasite lnfesting the cucumber
beetle and a study Is being made OF
the problem OF introducing them in
localities where this beetle Is album
dant and not already badly infested.

In the soil end in water there are
nemas which prey on other species OF

sible that some day we may be able
to increase the numbers OF those pre-

holding that the milk should be kept
for so minutes at q minimum Of las

that Il is sufficient 70 hold the milk
for 30 minutes at temperature Of

The University Of Illinois. In Bulletin

That the decline IN red-clover cul-
ture is no myth becomes abundantly
evident when one reads the agricul-
turaI literature OF the past 40 years.
Letters from farmers to the agricul.
tural press and articles by farmers
and By the experiment station workers
In the press all express concern re-
xardIng this condition and offer vari-
ous reasons and remedies. The United
States Department Of Agriculture has
been alive to the necessity Of solving
the problem OF clover failure, and has
set forth It's observations as 70 the
causes as we'll az suggestions for more
favorable results. IN Farmers Bulletin
1895 Clover Failure, just Issued
Causes Of clover fallaFe aays the
department, are to be sought In Inn
proper soil conditions. in diseases, in
the use Of nonadaptable seed or ip I'm
proper methods Of seeding, and in the
use OF harmful nurse crops. Improper
soil conditions result from constant
cultivation and the consequent loss OF
lime. phosphates. potash and organic
matter, making the soil unsuifed to
the growth Of clover. Such conditions
can be remedied by applying the ele-
ments lacking IN a field and by work
ing in manure and other forms OF
organic matter
In some cases clover failure Is due
to diseases. and then dIsease-resist-
ant variety must be used II available,
or some other legume substituted for
red clover. Alsfke clover. hairy vetch-
or annual summer legumes. such as
soy beans, should be used when for
any reason land that needs lime can
NOT be economically lined. When red
clover falls on land well supplied with
lime, sweet clover can often be sub
sfituted TO advantage.
