A description of the alfalfa weevil
and methods of combating Its rav-
Sjfljag are contained In a new toil. Ilea
Hon of the Pulled States department
of agriculture, Farmers' Hulletin 741
In I'tah and In small portions of Ida
ho and Wyoming, where It now ex
lata, It has caused at times a loss of
fiO per cent of the first cutting of
alfalfa and a total loaa of Hie second
cutting.
In order that farmers In those sec
lions in which the weevil baa not yet
appeared may be able to recognize
the peat and to protect their crops
from It, the bulletin contains details
of Ita habits and of Ita appearance In
the varioua life atagea The weevil
Is discovered most eaally in the form
Of the full grown larva. It la then
green worllke creature, one
fourth of an Inch long with a black
head and a faint white atrlpe down
the middle of the back. It feeds
upon the leavea of alfalfa mainly dur
ing late May, June and early July
and may be found by sweeping Hie
tops of the plants with In Insect net
or by looking for the notches In the
leavea where it has fed. When the
larvae are numerous tlicy destroy
most of the tender growth ami cause
the tops to appear while, making the
field look as If frostbitten, when
viewed from a distance.
The adult insect la an oval brown

long with a prominent snout Its
color frequently is nearly hluck Tins
beetle is harder to discover than the
larva, but, on die other hand, It la
preset in the field the whole year

digging about the crowns and roots
of alfalfa plants.
The alfalfa weevil does not hiber

begins in early Spring and is usually
ended by June 10. One efficacious
method of controlling the pest, there

turing the first crop up to that time
A similar result may be obtained by
cutting the alfalfa green and feeding
It aa a soiling crop.
If this is not done the larvae hatcli
In large numbers about the last week
of May or earlier and eat the alfalfa
leaves so rapidly that the plant is un
able to outgrow the injury. To pro
ect the crop, pasturing, as lias been
aaid, .is effective in the early part of
the season.
If the weevils are not killed early
in the year they may be destroyed
after the first crop lias been removed
by getting rid of all the vegetation
in the field, crushing the clods and
filling the cracks so as to expose the
entire surface to the sun. Thia is
best done by covering the field with
hay, especially that of the second cut
ting. Potatoes often are hauled In
cars upon a bedding of green alfalfa
