L. Lovett of the Oregon Agricul tural College crop Ht force, who re cently returned from a visit to the vicinity. "I found the Otlorhy ni hns sulca tun, the larger HpecleH, more limited In Its range, and the otlorhynchus ovatus, the smaller, In greater num bers In a much greater area, and de. cldedly more destructive," says Mr. Lovett. "The adult of the pest, commonly known as the strawberry root weevil, Is a lieetle, elongate, about three sixteenths of an Inch, and dark brown. The head has u distinct beak, and the wing covers nre pitted. The new brood emerges early In May and are now busy laying small, round, shiny, white eggs In the soil at the buse of the plants. These eggs hatch 5 to 9 days after us small grubs which seek at once the fiber ous rootlets about the crown of the plant and feed upon them. When mature they form an earthen cell, contract, und slowly transform to a pupa, showing the developing legs, beuk and wings of the mature beetle. "The adult beetle feeds on the foliage of the strawberry, as well as of the blackberry, loganberry, sweet clover, and certain native grasses The grub, too, feeds as well on the roots of the blackberry, dewberry, loganberry, clover, native grasses, and sorrel." horses to a Of course not and it's just as wasteful to use a four-cylinder automobile when the single-cylinder Hrush Runabout will do your work. And it will do your work. A Brush Runabout will cover three times the area possible with your horse and buKy m tne sanie time and do it at less expense. The single buggy Brush Runahoaf A guaranteed, efficient automobile H50 Fully Equipped, f.o.b. Detroit A lour-cylinder car consumes two or three times the gasolene and oil used by a single cylinder Brush and the cost of maintaining and operating the four-cylinder car is six to eight times as much. The Brush costs only one cent a mile to operate. The winner of an Economy Con test drove his Brush 100 miles at a total cost of 39 cents another ran 48.4 miles on one gallon of gasolene. As one of many instances of its wonderful durability, a Brush owner states after 0 months usage that he has driven his car 10,000 miles, with no expense for repairs of any kind. The advantages of economy, efficiency the single -cylindei and simplicity have long been recognized in Europe, where they make single-cylinder cars costing five to eight times as much as the Brush. The Brush is a real automobile, as highly developed on a smaller plan as expensive large cars. Each car is equipped with shock absorbing devices under the Truffault-Hart-ford patents, top, storm front, gas lamps, generator, tools, etc. Come in and see this car.
