There are doubtless some who are
disposed to consider discussions of
the dangers of introducing insect
pests of other states or countries as
needless agitation. Agitation is at
present our best means of protec-
ton, however. and there is no dam
ger of its becoming over violent as
long as there is a .single grower of
alfalfa in Arizona who is not on the
lookout for the appearance of
strange alfalfa pests and who has
mot been advised of the Importance
of promptly referring such specimens
as may attract his attention to the
horticultural commission or to
the agricultural experiment station
FOR identification. If discovered in
the beginning of the infestation, the
alfalfa weavi may be exterminated
at comparatively small expense, but
Iif allowed to become widespread
determination would be impossible
in important alfalfa growing dis
tricts, except by the complete ex-
termination of the food plant supply
of the insects. This procedure in
Arizona would not be impossible but
would spell ruin temporarily to the
growers Of alfalfa and it would
check the prosperity of the other in.

financial enterprises and institutions

| Arizona is favored above all other
western states in the isolation of hel

no district in Utah. These are
most important assets, but in order
