Evening star., 1938-10-10
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Glover is one of the most important
cover crops we have. There are
pests that make heavy inroads on the
plant itself, and cause the loss of
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually. The clover root borers
are tiny, reddish brown beetles, which
are rarely over one-eighth of an
inch long, They spend the winter
in the clover roots When the warm
spring days arrive they again begin
feasting on the clover roots and ex-
tend their burrows still farther
This small but determined beetle
at one time threatened disaster in
the eclover-producing States east of the
Mississippi River. And at another
time, the pest had f1ourished so at
the expense of the farmers that the
whole clover-growing industry of Mich
tgan was on the brink of failure.
Western Oregon and Washington had
to wage war against the borer, and
there it was indeed a menace.
The adult trouble-maker is q dark
brown, hard-shelled BEETLE 1t is the
offspring that do the damage dur
ing their second summer for the wee

then it enfolds itself in a silken wrap
per and remains quiet until it has
transformed into an adult beetle.
When the beetle creeps from its un-
derground cloister, it soon hardens,
and after short time finds its mate.
Then the cycle OF egg-laying is re-
peated and the small borer under
ground seeks the roots of the clover.
The plant in turn tells its tale OF
woe to the farmer, by being a pale
yellow and dying, since its roots have
been destroyed and cannot serve the
plant any more.
Research over period of several
years has finally found a way to
conquer this pest. A three-year ro-
tation of crop does the deed. The
borer does the greatest damage to
the roots the second year of the
Evening star., 1938-10-10

plant. The clover stubble is ploughed
under as soon as the hay crop has
been removed. At this time the root
borers are very young and rather de-
fenseless. They are deprived OF their
nourishment and they pine away and
die. If the ploughing is delayed, the
wee one soon has reached a stage
where it may migrate for food. and
may be lusty and tough enough to
invade other fields of new and tender
clover. 1t is therefore of greatest
Importance to the clover growers to
know the wiles and ways OF their pest
foes.

on The Revelation of Truth
Triumphant

A lecture on Christian Science: The
Revelation of Truth Triumphant" was
delivered yesterday afternoon in Con-
stitution Hall by John Randall Dunn,
c. S. B., of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Dunn is member Of the Board

tist. Of this city.
The lecturer said in part:
when we read in the press of dc
tatorships, we can pause for moment
to thank God that in truth there is
one Governor Of man and nations
the divine Mind. We can ask our
selves, Is the belief of dictatorships,
Of tyranny or self-will, finding any
lodgment in my thought? How much
power and reality am I giving 70 it2
Can I hope to aid In solving the world
problem, If am not graphing with
this error in my own thinking?' II
wars and rumors Of wars are blazoned
forth in the newspapers, we can pray
as did Elisha, that all blinded eyes
may be opened to the truth of love,
and the love Of truth, before which
hate and distrust and greed and con-

fusion must slink away As shadows
Of the night.
"A mighty pouring forth Of unsettled
love into consciousness Is the only
antidote for the insanity Of war and
hate. Why does error persist, why do
many healings seem protracted? Be-
cause we do not honestly and fearlessly
turn the light Of truth and love into
our hearts and uncover and destroy,
among other errors, unlovely traits Of
thought and character and self1shness
IN general. Divine love is the only
hope Of the race, the only possible
savior"
