In the State of Utah an insect pest has appeared which is do ing much harm to the alfalfa crop. This insect (rhytonomus posticies) has been known for a long time in the old world. For many decades ii not moeea centuries, it has preyed - upon the alfalfa of Southern Europe; Western 'Asia and Northern Africa. In this country it was first noticed on the- outskirts of Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1904 Its ravages had become so ex tended by 1907 that the attention; of the Utah Experiment Station was called to it. By 1911 it htfd reached parts of Wyoming and Idaho adjacent to Utah. In 1909 the Governor of Utah appealed to the United States Department of Argiculture to aid in fight ing the pest. Since that time the Department has. employed scientists to try and find some effective means of combating the pest. The Alfalfa Weevil is thus described in Bulletin No. 112, Department of Entomology, UL S. Department of Agriculture, by Prof. P. M. Webster. "It is a small, rather insignificant appearing beetle, slightly under one fourth of an inch long, .of .a. brown color, mixed with gray and black hairs arranged in in distinct spots and Btripes on the back." The eggs are laid in the spring and early summer within the stems or on the. buds and leaves, and they, hatch within about ten days. The larvae are small geenish worms with a black head. When full grown they are about one fourth of an inch long. They prey upon the crop buds, the leaves and even the stalks. The damage result ing may vary with the; condi tions from .very slight to almost complete destruction of the cut ting, ihe hay, obtained irom, in fested fields is very-woody be cause . of the absence of leaves andj.it -is much Jiable to induce coughing when fed to horses. Various' methods of fighting have been tried. These have only. been partially successful. They "include: discing to stimu late growth, grazing with sheep, drawing a street sweeper or wir brush over- the field, and burning the stubbles. Attempts are -also, being made to introduce parasites from the Eastern Hemisphere which w.lfpfcey iip- on the weevils.
