With the hope of assisting farm
ers throughout this stntc nnd gencr
ully in tho west in their campaign
against tjio alfalfa weevil, George I.
(coves of the United States bureau
of entomology has prepared informa
tion for publication regarding the
most successful methods nlong which
to comhut the jn'st, ns well ns giving
vnlunblo pointers to alfalfa growers
concerning the disposition of their
crops that already nre uffecied with
weevil. Tho article, which is sclf-cx-p'lunatory,
follows in full:.
Tho alfalfa weevil, introduced into
this country nt a single spot nenr Suit
Luke City about ten years ago, hns
spread throughout tho northern liulf
of Utah, including three of the most
productive counties, nnd taken a
foothold in tho adjacent parts of
Idaho and Wyoming. It destroys
about ouc-hulf of the utinunl yield,
unless measures nre taken to prevent
it, nnd causes such widespread up
prehension among tho olfuilnM of
other stales us to result in ipmraii
tines which nre only nbout fit) per cent
less damnging to the infested district
thuii uro the insects themselves.
Tho weevils, nfter spending the
winter in the fields about tho roots of
the plants, deposit enormous numbers
of pnle yellow eggs in envitics innde
in the stems with their beaks. The
little green "worms" which hutch
from those during spring uud curly
summer cluster upon tho fresh shoots
of alfalfa plants nnd feed, becoming
numerous nbout June 1. They de
stroy much of the first crop, injure
tho ipiulity of what remains nnd com
pel early cutting to prevent total loss.
The actual damngo to the first crop
is not far from fill per cent of its
value. Upon tho cutting of tho first
crop the larvae gather upon the hit
of food which is afforded by the now
shoots and destroy them ns fust us
they appear. This condition lasts un
til tho normal harvest time of tho sec
ond crop, so tliut it is u total loss.
Tho damage to the first two crops
amounts to one-hlilf the uuniiul yield,
llrilsli DrugKlug llcincily
A vnlunblo method for preventing
the injury to the second crop consists
in brush drugging the stiihhle niter I
removal of the first cutting. This wns
devised by the Utah cxpciiinent sta
tion in co-operation with fanners uud
hus been improved lv tho latter in ac
tual practice by the adoption of n
weighted spiketooth burrow with sev
eral Inyers of woven-wiro stock fenc
ing underneath, instead of the old
fashioned brush drag. This treatment
was widely adopted us a menus of
crushing the insects, nnd also ns u
menus of exposing them to the rays
of the sun nnd to tho chokiue; action
of the dust. The bureau of entomol
ogy has proved that neither the me
chanical crushing nor the direct rays
of the sun contribute much to tho ef
fectiveness of the dust-mulch ti cut
mcut uud that most of tho insects in
nil stugos die long before they ure
smothered by the dust. The essential
factor is the heat of the earth im
parled by the sun's raysi The follow
ing conditions ure necessary to niuke
the treatment successful.
The surfnee of the field must he
lry.
It must ho free from clods', cracks
uud vegctutiou.
The sun must ho clear and the
weiilhor warm.
Under these conditions the soil
tenches the necessary temperature of
1'JO degrees Fahrenheit nnv day in
the summer and will kill nil singes
of the insect in less than two min
utes, the second crop is then Iree union is not ilesiranie. Analses

the thoroughness with which the con
ditions outlined uhove are complied
with. If the soil is not in good con
dition it must he cultivated before
drugging.
Spraying Method
The great objection to it is that it
requires luhoiious and tedious culti
vation nt the Iiusy haying season. For
that reason several fanners have
adopted the method of spraying the
stiihhle with arsenate of lead instead
of creating a dust mulch. The best
results were obtained by applying the
poison ut the rule of l'J pounds in
four barrels of water per nere with a
gasoline engine, using two lines of
hose nnd (loideaux nozzles held by
tuo men ut u distance of one uud
one-hulf feet from the ground.
F.quully good work would probably
be done with a smaller iiuitiitit v of
arsenate bv n better method of dis
tribution. This method is better
adapted to larger liclds where culti-
animals which cat tho liny. If culti
vation is needed hy thu field, It can
he combined with spraying ns well as
with brush-dragging. The hitter hns
of itself no cultivation value when
followed by irrigation, un it must he
in this case.
First Crop 1'rotcctloa
The only method which can bo rec
ommended ut the present time for
protection of the first crop is pastur
ing with hogs until after the eggs of
the weevil are laid. The field to be
pastured must be divided into two or
inoro equal lots, each provided with
water, shelter and faeilitioH for feed
ing, and the hogs should have rings
in their noses if the owner wishes to
preseive his stand of alfalfa. Tho
hogs should be moved from one ill
closure to (mother as fast ns they
nre able to clean up thu growth of al
falfii. F.xpcits recommend that a
small gram ration should he fed to
growing and fattening pigs, hut not to
hiood sous, t'udcr these conditions
the first crop of alfalfa is secured
with no labor cost, oork is produced
