He' told about the efforts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture to intro duce weevil parasites from Europe and tho benefits which ono parasite Is now bringing to alfalfa' growers In certain parts of Utah whero It was first introduced. He expressed great hopes for this means of con trol, but said that It would be neces sary to Introduce other kinds of parasites before the control would be satisfactory. This government Is trying to do this, but is having difficulty to get them to live In this country. At tho best, he said, it will require several years before thoso can catch up with tho weevil. In the mean time he urged that farmers get together and cooperate to put the pest under control before the growing of nlfafa becomes im possible. So many questions were asked at tho conclusion of his talk that the specialist was hardly al lowed to sit down. W. H. Doollttle, mayor of Ontar io, In a short address welcomed the -visiting delegates, who had assem- oiou irom an over tne Mnatce uiver valley from points as far as 80 miles or more. He told of tho advantages to be. gained for the entire valley through cooperation. H. G. Peck- ham, president of the Idaho State Farm Bureau, who presided at the meeting, brought out may pertinent points. Ho showed the necessity for action in order to save the one crop which is best suited to many types of land and the crop which has served as the basis of our agricul ture in maintaining soil fertility and providing feed for dairying and live stock husbandry. Ho called for suggestions on how all of the farm ers of the Snake river valley might cooperate to bring the pest under control. President Van Petten of the Ontario Commercial club added to tho effectiveness of the program in a short talk In which he pointed out the value In dollars, running into hundreds of thousands, which tho alfalfa hay crop .meant to the county, and suggested that the val ue of the government experimental work should bo given consideration in preference to the theories of those little famllar with the problem. This sentiment seemed to carry weight with the cowd, and the re mark that laws should bo passed to compel spraying alfalfa, unless It bo plowed up, was heard quite frequent ly during the time after adjourn ment of tho program part and the consumption of ice cream and lemon ado by courtesy of tho Ontario Commercial club. At 3:00 P. M. n demonstration of spraying alfalfa was given by Don. Whelan, extension entomologist for Idaho. Practically everybody went to the Homer Utloy farm to see this.
