| crop of alfalfa.
Rotation: Give alfalfa the care and
attention given to other crops and
the increase in yield will repay you
for the trouble.
Old stands Of alfalfa should be
plowed up in localities infested with
the weevil, as these are always the
most seriously Damaged. A new stand
of alfalfa can be secured even where
the pest is present, as young alfalfa
lis not seriously injured the first
year.
Community work: Farmers living
in a community bordering on, or
near the area infected by the al
falfa weevil, as is the case in many
sections of the southern part of Ida
no, should unite to put into practice
the above preventive measures as a
precaution against the weevil, in the
hopes of staying its progress north
ward to uninfested fields. Much can
be done to lessen the damage in any
one community, and also to prevent
Its spread, by cultivating and brush
dragging fields after the first crop
is removed.
Growers are urged to be on the
lookout for injury suspected to be
due to the alfalfa weevil, and report
it to the Agricultural Experiment
Station in order that new outbreaks
may be discovered in time to prevent
its spread into a territory not pre-
viously infested.
