Like many pests now present In this weevil was incountry, the clover-lea- f troduced accidentally from Europe, where It Is well known. The Urst record of Its occurrence as a pest In the United States wns In 1881. when a severe outbreak, occurred at Barrington. N. J. It Is now found in practically every section of the country where clover Is grown. Its chief food crop Is clover, but it also feeds on ulfalfa and sweet clover. The adult weevil lays Its eggs n the stems of the clover plant, and In early spring the larvae hatch and begin to feed as soon as the clover starts Its growth. Larvae are most numerous during April, but beginning with May there Is a gradual falling off In numbers, and by the end of that month or the middle of June, practically all have completed their growth and spun their pupal cocoon. The adult weevils, or beetles, emerge In from 6 to 10 days, and feed steadily on the clover plant for about two weeks, after which they become semiilormant. or remain Inactive until early In September. At this time they again become active and feed for about a month, during which (he eggs are InliL Hides During the Day. Both the larvae mid adult weevils feed during the night, and conceal themselves In the day under rubbish or In cracks In the grounr.. Usunlly they work on the underside of the leaves where they eat small boles and are not seen except by the careful observer. The most Important check on the pest Is the fungous disease, which Livestock men at University Farm, believe thai winter care of the beef bleeding herd deserves more careful study than most breeders give it. Under Minnesota conditions, the successor tile business depends largely upon the success of the system of management iu winter quarters. A few fundamentals are thus laid down by J. of the agricultural extension division: "Burns do not need to be as warm for beef breeding animals us for dairy cows, jet should be built with plenty of light and have good ventilation.
