MUST FIGHT TO SAVE AL
FALFA.
The Utah Weevil Is Coming East
ward and Is Threatening the
Alfalfa Fields of Kansas.

One spring day in 1904 the pro-
prietor of an alfalfa farm east
of Salt Lake City stepped out in
to his field and found a little
worm at work riddling and shred
ding the leaves of his plants. He
knew that hencefOrth he would
have to fight the harder for his
fortune. A leak had been sprung
In his dixie Of good times, and
the streamSOf golden abundance
that flowed from the purple-flOw
cred field into his pocket had
been tapped by an humble little
insect from abroad.
Beginning as blot on one
ranGh the increase of this alfalfa
weevil has spread over the en-
6re state of Utah, but it might
as well have been Kansas or Cali
fOrnia or Colorado, as it will ul-
tmately reach those states and
all those where alfalfa is grown,
for the alfalfa weavil has come
TO stay and to levy his tax just
NS does the San Jose scale, or the
cotton boil weveil, to which the
alfalfa weevil is related.
In the five years that followed
It's: discovery the infestatiOn has
extended over a total area of
something more than a hundred
square miles. Last year Salt
the worst infested county in the
sState, suffered a loss of about 80
percent of the first cutting, or
about sixty-three hundred tons.
In many of these fields the alfal-
Ia did not make enough growth
to be cut at all, or where it did SO
was immature, and consequently
OF little value. The greatest dam
age occurred in fields more than
ten years old where tthe weevils
are able to overcome the vital re-
SStance of the. plants and so to
check completely the new young
growth.
It' must be a fight to finish
that can be possibly ended only
by the discovery and importation
O4 parasites or other insect enc
mics. A collection of insects in
all stages Of growth was made
last summer from an acre of al
falfa near Salt Lake Ciey, by
means of an ordinary grain head
er adapted to the purpose. The
accumulation of those swept from
the plants (prObably more than a:

torn up and the larvae and adults
, crushed or SuffOcated in the dust.
The ordinary wire street sweeper
has also been used with nearly as
good effect.
In the end perhaps it will be
decided that a combination of
several of these methods will
work best toward restoring to
the farmer the balance of power.
No dependence at all can be plac-
ed on natural enemies. Only the
tOadS fancy the beetle as a mOrsel
and the tOads can not do it all.
DiSking, bush-dragging, pasturing
and the use of the gathering ma
chine make an effective program.
At best these are methods of re-
ductiOn, the enemy can not be ex-
terminated and the contest is
probably a fixed detail in the
drama of alfalfa culture in Utah
and in other states in time to
come.
The economic significance of
the establishment of this pest is
enormous. 1t is doubtful is there
is another insect abroad in the
country likely. to cause as much
damage and expense as this little
weevl. The loss in Utah to the
first and second cuttings in 1910
came to nearly One-half million
dollars. As the output of the
state il. 1909 was 791,1S6 tons
valued at over s million dollars,
the tax levied by the weevil a.
mounts to more than 6 per cent.
There are approximately 3 mil
lion acres Of alfalfa IN the United
States producing on an average
three tons to the acre, worth prof.
ably 100 million dollars. The ex
tensive spread of the alfalfa wee
vii then means to the farmer an
annual loss of 6 million dollars
When it is remembered that
there are many other foreign plan
diseases and pests whose increase
would be prOSpered by escaping
from their native restricted lin
its, it becomes practically evi
dent that some legislation prOvid
ing for proper inspection is nee
eSSary. The requirement that al
packing Of foreign goods be burn
ed, and that all imported stocl
be inspected at either port o
entry or destination, might hav,
saved this annual tariff and man
another that is levied on Ou
crops.

much again were shaken to the
grOund) measured twenty gallons
By counting a portion of this
mass it became evident that more
than 145 million insects had been
gathered. Again to show the ut.
ter hOpeleSSneSs of exterminating
the pest a count Of 127 egg pune
lures was made ON the stalks of
one plant near Salt Lake City.
On this basis it was figured that
100000 adults would emerge as
one years product of the single
plant. Assuming that there are
but one thousand plants to the
acre-hardly an average stand
there would then be a nation of
230 million individuals to every
diSinfected acre. As the beetle
in his different stages of growth
feeds upon every part of the
plant above ground the pOSSibili-
ties of evil in this pest can be
family fOreSeen.
The weevil is an indefatigable
traveller, and in this country
where none of his natural checks
exist, its vagrant impulses are
unfettered. Like many of its hu-
man hosts at whose expense it
lives, the beetel prefers another
mode of lOcOmOtiOn to that which
nature has given him. It's flight
is short and without a favorable
wind seldom carries it many
miles. In the larval stage the on
ly way it is able ito travel is by
falling accidentally into an irri-
eating ditch. As an adult it is
like the small boy, ready to take
advantage of every "hOOk on be-
hind" that comes it's way. 1t is
surmiSed by Utah entOmologistS
that it crossed over into Summit
county with the assistance of
sheep men taking feed from the
Salt Lake district into the noun
tain ranges. From the orchards
so often bOrdered by alfalfa
fields or with alfalfa growing be-
tween the trees, the migrating
weevil may wend its way by
fruit packages over the rail into
other sections of the state or in
to other states. In short any We
hicle travelling through an infest-
ed region or any package going
out is an offer of free tranSpOr-
tatiOn.
1t also has been known directly
to board a train. Alfalfa COM
monty grows wild along the track

long such an infested border is
an invitation to any beetle who
inhabits it. One July day in
1910 twenty-seven beetles were
taken from the veStibule of a
sleeping car that was destined
over the San Pedro, Los Angeles
& Salt Lake City for southern Cal
ifOrnia. On July 13 an entOmOl-
Ogist Of the Utah experimental
station captured two adult bee

How many have escaped by this
means no one knows. There are
four principal lines branching out
Of Salt Lake City. Besides the
two mentioned there are the
Union Pacific lealing eastward
and the Denver & Rio Grande
that taps the rich alfalfa regions
Of Colorado and Kansas. The we
vii could hardly have selected a
more favorable point for general
distribution had it bought a pass
age in an intelligent and legiti-
mate. manner.
1t has been found that a gen.
eral measure of value in Stimulat-
ing the vital resistance of the
plant is the disking of the field
in the early spring, again after
the first cutting and sometimes
after the second cutting. As
great numbers of the msectSseek
shelter for winter Information in
the weeds and grass along the
borders of the fields and bitches,
another general measure of prime
Importance is to burn over these
places late in the fall and hence
forth to keep them clean. Di-
rect attack upon the beetles with
the object of destroying them
has been tried out in various
forms. Pasturing the fields by
sheep and horses after the first
cutting has proved of advantage
m reducing the numbers of the
enemy and so insuring a better
second crop. But for the lack of
dry material burning over the
fields in the early spring would
operate to the diScOuragement of
the pest. The burning of the
first cutting Of badly infested
field is an expensive but an ef-
enough hay to burn after the bee
tie is fed. About the most de-
Structive weapon that has been
devised is the bush-drag. By
its operation the cOcOOns are

viii read with pleasure OF the plan
the Chicago Great Western railway has
adopted--for the accommodation of
Chicago passengers destined for Min

The railway has arranged to make
reservations in the dining cars on its
through trains, just as It makes reser-

arrange for as many seats as they de-
sire in the dining car at the hours they
choose. They may also give every de-
tail Of their orders for meals.
BY this plan a traveller is saved all
the hurry and rush incidental to get

be hoped that other lines will follow

make travel more comfortable for
