Early Start
In Combatting Weevils
LAKF.VIEW Farmers con
corned with saving hay crops
from alfalfa weevil damage
should get an early start, said Bill
Moser. Iake County extension
agent. Past experience has shown
that effectiveness of control de
pends on killing adult weevils
before egg laying begins. This
means treatment should be made
before new alfalfa growth starts
and before adult weevils are seen
in (lie fields.
Alfalfa weevils overwinter as
adults and lay eggs Ihe following
spring. These eggs halch into hun
gry larvae, and that's when the
trouble starts. 1-arvae eat the
growing parts of alialfa. They
liave a s)ecial liking for crowns,
buds, and leaves. If infestations
are severe, larvae may complete
ly .skeletonize plant, leaving only
Ihe stems. Killing adults before
;egg laying occurs will prevent
this damage. If control is delayed
loo long, egg laying and larvae
development may reach damag
ing levels.

W ith both Congress and the Ore

and more of programs designed
to protect the little fellow by pe
nalizing the successful. Not many
years ago, tlie share-thc-wealth
plulosophy would havo ttecn ig
nored by most people who were
diligently attempting to be suc
cesslul. Apparently a portion of the pop
ulation has now given up on
ever reaching the t of gold at
the end of the rainliow. They arc
now spending a good part of their
lime attempting lo maintain their
status quo via special favors and
uneconomic rulings designed to
dsn limitim, their chance for sue.
"
ce.ss.
o nation or )eople has gone
far by protecting the status quo
against improvement. Those who
maintain wc must jiass legisla
tion lo protect the family-type
farm are "running scared' of
progress. The unfounded fear that
cor)oration farming is replacing
individual farming oiteralinns con
tinues to grow in spite of fads
to tlie ccHitrary. It is true that
more family oiierations arc in
corporating for tax and inheri
incc purposes, bul tliey arc still
loing oeratcd by families.
Karms arc also getting larger.
This is good since it is proof
Uiat the individual still has the ini
tiative to try to make his fortune
if he can. To legislate thus right
from him simply because the na
tion s pessimists are alraifl ol
losing out in Ihe comielitive race
would lie unsound and unfair to
the ambitious.
Progress in tlie United States
will continue only as long as peo
ple have the right to make their
own decisions. If Ihi right is
taken away by government un
der any prelensc, we arc in re
treat Faith, hoiie and charity are

not be arbitrarily shifted lo gov

prise, is tremendously exciting. If
our schools, our government and

take pride in Dial system, tlierc
would be no limit to its possibil
