DRY FARMING BY NO
MEANS A JOKE

In an interview in Los Angeles
Charles S. Burton of Salt Lake
City. cashier Of the State Bank Of
Utah, who is visiting il the Ange
City, said: This dry-farm ing
proposition SCUM DIS like joke to
many farmers in the east, and to
many in the west. who have come
to believe that irrigation is the
first great essential to successful
farming in our part of the country.
Il is no joke W it'll us in Utah,
though. for it has been
demonstrated beyoni a doubt that
any land that will produce a good
growth of sagebrush will produce
a big crop of the finest wheat
whenever proper methods of cult
vAtion and conservation of moisture
are practiced.
1t is simply the application of
common sense in the WHY of
conserving the moisture of the
season instead Of allowing it to run
off or evaporate. This system,
with blowing and proper mulching
of the soil, is TRANSFORMING deserts
into wheat fields at a rate that will
surprise the world in the next FIVE
years"

Deafness Caunot be Cured

by local applications as they canct

ear There is only. 11one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an Inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have IA rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result unless the inhmation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
subnormal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrah,
which is nothing but an inflamed

DANGER OF THE
ALFALFA WEEv|L


Utah agricultural experiment
station discovered a weevil in an
alfalfa field near Salt Lake City,
which had not been known in the
country before that time. Since
then this insect (Phytonomous MUIR
inus) has spread IN all directions
over a large territory and threatens
to extend its ravages throughout
the alfalfa country.
At recent meeting of the
biological society of Washington
Francis M. Webster, of the Uni ted
States department Of agriculture,
gave an account of the life history
of the beetle and of its met hods of
diffusion. The eggs are laid in
the young stem of the alfalfa
plants. and as seen as the grub
matches out it climbs to the growa,
ing tip and feeds on the tender
leaves prev enting the growth of
the plant. As the season advances
tine adult beetles are found feeding
on the plants, gLawing through the
bark and killing them. 1t is
estimated that the damage done by
the beetle in Utah during the past
season amounts to half a million
dollars.
The adults conceal themselves in
bailed hay, in packing material and
cases. lin cracks of freight cars,
ETC.. so that they are being carried
rapidly IN all directions by the
regular channels of commerce. In
addition to this the flying adults
are rapidly carried about by the
wing. No means have been found
for fighting this new enemy of one
of the most important If our
crops. Frogs and toads seem to b.
the only natural enemies in this
country, and these clnnut tie relied
on to he of mach aIsiilahce in the
comparatively dry regions where
the alfalfa is raised. The birds
do moi seem 10 relish them, and no
insect enemies have been found.
Tho larvae Of similar forms in the
eastern states have been sue
cessfully comhatted ty means of
certain fungi. but these do not
see n to attack the larvae of the
lnc1rnr Wcevil.
The seriousness Of this new
damage may be realized when il is
considered that in several of the
western states the alfalfa crop
means the farmers chief or even
sole source Of cash. The cultivation
Of alfalfa has developed so rapidly
that the government statisticans
have been unable to determine j Is
value from year to year with ary
degree of accuracy. For 1908 the
value of this crop was estimated by
the experts as being over 500, 900,
600. -S:iantifc American.

It was just about the time that the
Gliddenists were leaving the city
