ALFALFA WEEv|l FOUND
IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

The startling information comes
from Humboldt county that the alfal-
fa weevil has been imported there
from Utah in seed and has found
lodgment. This weevil is small, but
eats the leaves off the plant and
ruins it. 1t has hard shell and gets
into the ground making-it impossible
of destruction by any known process.
In Utah it has spread out at the rate
of thirty miles a year, utterly destroy
ing fields in its path, and there is no
doubt the same destructive influence
bis in store for Humboldt county.
Humboldt rivals Stanislaus and Im.

ties exceeding output at the rate ol
