Bmox Dom or Cnovnn (Phyllachom t1~if0lli).e——Tbis fungus   _
has been observed by me from time to time as commlon locally in  K
Kentucky on white clover, generally along roadsides. It produces  ·
_ black dots in the form of pustules on the under sides of leaflets, and  
_ is known to occur also on red clover. 'Sonre diseased clover examined  _
on Mr. J. B. Walker’s place near Hopkinsville last summer bore i 
obscure brown spots, possibly the work of this fungus, or of the K, 
anthraenose fungus described above. The fungus was immature  
and could not be determined positively. _- _  ·
l CLOVER RUST (Ufromyces lrlf0lil).—This is one of the most  ;
destructive of the fungus enemies of clover. It produces on the  
leaflets numerous small pustules, which become ruptured, exposing  *
powdery brown masses of spores. It is common eastward, but has   ‘
not been observed by me in Kentucky. A K ‘ .  
— LEAF Dor or ALFALFA (Pseuclopezlzaimedicaginis).-—A fun-  _
gus trouble sometimes affects the leaves of alfalfa, causing numer-  ;
ous small dark dots to appear, showing on both upper and under  Q
surface.  —
ALFALFA Roor Roar (Ozonlum auric0mum).——A rot also at-  ._
tacks the roots of this plant, and has been identified as the same as  
the one doing some damage to cotton in Texas. It has not thus far  {
i been seen in Kentucky. ‘  
THE Cnovnn Mirn (Bryobia, p1·atensia).—In the fall of the  * .
year a small red mite often appears about the windows of dwellings  T
in large numbers in ‘Kentucky, where it probably comes, looking  "j
for a place to pass the winter. It is a ineadow-infesting species, and  1
injures clover to some extents  
GRASS[;[OPPERS.—S€V€YHl common grasshoppers do some mis-  
chief among clover, especially when other forage becomes scarce.  
The most troublesome ones are the red-legged grasshopper (M clan-  
oplus fcmiur-riu.bir·um) and its relative, M. allcmis, the latter re-
