crush may of the larvae and pupae,
while others are buried in the hot
dust. This must be done promptly
after the removal of the hay as they
are very difficult to kill after they
transform into beetles.
Clean culture: Fence rows, ditch
banks and waste places should be kept
free of weeds, and if possible burned
over late in the fall to kill alternating
beetles. Many of the adults hiber-
nate to joining fields. Destroy old
stock bottoms and piles of hay left in
the field because of rain etc. Guilt
vate the fields in spring to keep down
grass and weeds and to accelerate
the growth of the first 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 is not seriously injured the
first year.
Community work: Farmers living
in community bordering on, or near
the area infected by the alfalfa weevil,
as is the case nmany sections of the
southern part of Idaho, should unite
to put into practice the above prevent
ative measures as precaution against
the weevil, in the hopes of staying its
progress northward to the uninfested
fields beyond. Much can be done to
lessen the damage in any one COM
munity, and also to prevent its spread
ny cultivating and brush-dragging the
fields after the first crop is removed.
Growers are urged to be on the
lookout for injury suspected to be
dre to the alfalfa weevil, and report
it to the agricultural experiment sta
ticn in order that new outbreaks may
!e discovered in time to prevent it's
spread into territory not previously
infested.-T. H. Parks, field entomol-

the other and eating holes in them.
When the worms are very numerous,
they may SO injure the foliage as to
stop the growth of the hay entirely,
thus cutting short the first crop. This
occurs in June in fields having an
altitude of from 5000 to 5000 feet.
After the first cutting is removed
from the field, the worms devour the
new leaves as fast as they form, and
will even feed upon green stubble in
an effort to secure enough foo dto
bring them to maturity. For this
reason, in the infested territory, fields
often remain brown after the hay is
removed, and the second crop will not
start until the majority of the worms
transform to beetles. This often de-
lays the second crop from to 5
weeks, after which the hay ms no
longer injured, the beetles feeding
very little during late summer and
autumn. Owing to the second crop
being delayed by the worms, the far
mer is often deprived of third cut
ting, and in high attitudes the second
crop will be cut short by frost.
The full grown larva or worm is
about n IN. long, having number
of transverse burrows across the body
and pale white stripe running legth-
wise down the back. After becoming
full grown they crawl to the ground
and spin around their body white,
silken cocoon of threads, usually at
taching this to some dead leaves or
perhaps to the side of the stem near
the ground About SO hours after
spinning the cocoon, the worm hangs
to the pupa or resting stage and about
10 days after and during July, emer-
ges as an adult beetle-the alfalfa
weevil The newly emerged beetle
remains concealed on the ground and
about the crowns of the plants for a
few then climbs to the utmost leaf or
stem, spreads it's wings and flies into
the air to be carried by the wind.
The summer flight occurs in July in
the Salt Lake basin, and in August in
the higher attitudes of mountain val
leys 1t is at this season that the
beetles are scattered into new fields
and carried into uninfected territory
depending upon the velocity and d.
rection of the wind at the time the
beetles are flying.
Food Plants
Alfalfa is the main food plant for
the weevil in this country although
it sometimes is found feeding on sweet
clover, burr-clover, vetches and sew
eral wild legues 1t feeds upon the
leaves and some times the stems, but
never upon or in the seed.
Wild hay, timothy, grasses and
grain crops are subject to attack.
Methods of Control
Summer cultivation: Cultivating
and h-dragging the fields after
the removal of the first crop is the
most effective remedy known. This
should be done while the ground is
dry, and preferably with spring tooth
harrows followed by bush made by
attaching the butts of green haw-
thorns between two planks or weav-
ing them into a harrow. The brush
cuts through the alfalfa stubble and

THE ALFALFA WEEyIL.

The alfalfa weevil is past that Is
becoming more and more important
TO Idaho hay growers. 1t has gradu-
ally pushed northward from Utah
fields, and has now crossed ten state
line into extreme southern Idaho.
The adult inesct is a reddish-brown
beetle about 3-16 in. long, oval, and
the head provided with ha beak or
snout. The beetle feeds on the green
leaves and in spring, and deposits the
eggs which later hatch into the de-
structive larva or worm which so bad
ly Injuries the growing hay during
May, June and July.
Distribution
1t is distributed over the most of
southern Europe, northern Africa and
western Asia, where it is present in
fields of lucerne (alfalfa) in limited
numbers each season. 1t has not been
found in the United States previous
to 1904, where it was observed to be
injuring alfalfa over small territory
near Salt Lake City, where it had been
imported in some unknown manner.
From the fields first infected, the
weevils spread into new territory and
in 1907 were found damaging alfal-
ia over a number of farms when 1t
was brought to the attention of the
Utah agricultural college. They are
now found we'll distributed from CEN
trail to northern Utah, western Wy
oming and few specimens can now
be found in southern Idaho, in Oneida
Franklin and Bear Lake counties.
They have been taken at attitudes
varying from 1000 to 5000 feet in the
mountainous regions of Utah, and
thrives wherever alfalfa grows. Spe-
cimens are often found on isolated al
falfa plants in mountain canyons far
removed from cultivated fields.
Habit
The beetles pass the winter in
crowns of alfalfa plants, patches of
grass, weeds and litter along fence
rows, ditch banks and road sides.
They become active during the first
warm days of springs, and migrate
to the fields of alfalfa, whore they
mate and deposit the eggs. These
are placed inside the stems of alfalfa,
through punctures made by the beak.
Usually from 6 to IA eggs are insert
ed in each puncture, and the opening
sealed with a watery secretion to pro-
tect the eggs from injury.
The eggs are deposited from April
until June, inclusive, perhaps the
most being deposited during the
month of May Each beetle deposits
between 700 and 500 eggs during the
season, The average number depos-
tied by II females used in expert
ments during the spring of 1912, was
726.
The eggs hatch in from s to Is
days depending upo nthe temjerature,
and the young larvae which are small
green worms with black heads emerge
fro mthe stems and travel to the
young leaves at the tip of the plant.
After becoming about half-grown, the
worms are found feeding upon the
older leaves travelling from one to
