LOCUST-TREE INSECTS. The insects that
attack the locust (/{uhiiiiu psetidacacia) are
numerous, and the tree suiters from some of
them very seriously in certain parts of the United
States. I'orty-one species of insects feeding upon
this tree are treated in Packard's Report on For-
est Insects. Of those which affect the trunk, the
locust-borer, the larva of a long-horned beetle
(Cyllcne robinice). is one of the most imjjortant.
It is a black beetle with yellow transverse bands,
and, like its near relative (Cyltenc picttts) which
infests the hickory, has a superficial resemblance
to certain wasps, and has thus liecn cited as a
case of protective mimicry. Anotlier borer, the
lan'a of a sesiid niotli {Sci<iptiron robini(r). is
destructive to locust-trees as well as to i)opIars
on the Pacific coast; and the locust twig-borer
(Ecdiitolupha insiticiana) causes a thickened
growth of certain twigs for a distance of from
one to three inches. The adult of this species is
a tortricine moth. ( See Leaf-Roller. ) Many of
the leaf-feeders are leaf-rollers and leaf-miners,
but the larva of a very striking Initterlly known
as the 'locust-skipper' {Eiidniniis tili/nis) has
this habit also. A leaf-mining beetle (Odontota
scutcllaris) disfigures the leaves with its larval
mines throughout the Eastern States. The
larva of the locust saw-fly {Xcnititus siniilaris)
feeds upon the leaves and occasionally defoliates
trees. Consult Packard, Fifth Report of the
United Slates Entomological Commission (Wash-
ington, 1890).
LODE (AS. lad, way, course, from lijian, Goth.
leipan, OIIG. Ildan, to go. to travel). A miners'
term for veins in which minerals occur. They
are crevices, more or less vertical, produced by
contraction or meclianieal disturbaiue of the
rock, which have subsequently been tilled with
metallic ores. See Ore Deposits; Mining;

LO-DE'BAR. A place in Gilead which (if
the reading be correct) was the residence of
ilachir. son of Ammiel, with whom Jtmathan's
son, Mephibosheth, lived at the beginning of
David's reign ( IL Sam. ix. 4-.')). Machir and
Lo-debar are mentioned again in chapter xvii. 27
in connection with David's flight in consequence
of Absalom's rebellion. Probably the same place
is meant in Joshua xiii. 2(i (cf. Revised Version,
margin), and some authorities think it is re-
ferred to in Amos vi. 13. The location has not
been identified. A village, Idbar, seven miles
east of Mkes ( Gadara ) has been suggested.
LODEMAN, Ifi'df-man, Ernest Gustavus
(1807-90). An American horticulturist and au-
thor. He was born in Xeuchntel. Switzerland,
but came to America with his parents in 1870, his
father having been appointed professor of modern
languages in the Jlichigan State Xormal School.
He was graduated from the Agricultural College
of Michigan in 1889. In 1890 he became assistant
to Prof. L. H. Bailey in Cornell L'niversity and
shortly afterwards instructor in that institution.
While there he originated the spray calendar, a
placard which gives in concise form approximate
dates for spraying insect and fungous enemies
of various crops, together with formulre for pre-
paring the principal fungicides and insecticides.
He also published the results of many investi-
gations in bulletins of the Cornell Agricultural
Experiment Station. The iSprayimj of Plants
(Xew York, 1890), his only book, was ])repared
after cnmprcliensive field work, and embraces
not only the results of his exhaustive studies at
home and al)road, but all that was then consid-
ered valuable on the subject.
