ALFAFLAi DANGER —
S pread of th e A lfafla Aphid is
causing serious alarm . F rom hav
ing first been found in th e U S.,
in c e n tra l N ew Mexico, in Feb
ruary’ of 1954; it had, by late
1955 spread to all of th a t sta te

ornia and had shown up in Neb*
raska. Idaho, and w as on th e bor
ders of O regon. E notm ologists
say it is impossible to predict
eith er direction! or force in which
th e aphid will spread and the
chances are it w ill eventually
infest th e whole of th e alfalfa
growing areas.
The yellow-bodied insect, w ith
black «.pots, breeds as m an y as
20 g en eratio n s a y ear an d moves
by flying or a ttac h ed to vehicles
so q u ara n tin es are fru itless. Be
sides sucking th e life o u t of the
plant, it leaves behind it a hon-
eydew in w hich a black fungus
grows w hich becomes aooty-
black and develops an odor which
c a ttle w ill not to lerate.
By th e end of 1955, according
to rep o rts, ab o u t 1 m illion out
of 3 m illion acres in th e alfalfa

It is advised th a t those having
patches of alfalfa should inspect
th eir plantings, especially around
th eir bases, every to or th ree

because today’s car buyer demands performance. And latest sales

the largest-selling eight in the world! Official figures for 1955
show that 346,373 more people bought Ford V-8s than bought
the two other low-priced eights combined!
But now Ford is setting an even hotter V-8 pace by making
available the biggest engine ever offered in the low-price field.
