The insect passes the winter as an
adult beetle hiberating in the crowns
of the alfalfa plant, in under thick
grass, weeds, rubbish and leaves, in
hay or straw stacks. in barns where
hay is stored, or in any well sheltered
places available at the time they are
going into Information. In the spring
as soon as the alfalfa is started suf-
ficiently to furnish food, the beetles
emerge and attack the young plants.
About April the females begin laying
their eggs in the stems or on the buds
and leaves This continues until early
July. In the early spring, while the
plants are small, the females often
push their eggs down between the
leaves or into the bud, but the usual
method is TO insert them in punctures
made in the stem. This puncturing of
the stem often seriously Injuries young
plants. In about ten days the eggs
hatch and the young larvae, at first
white, but soon turning to an alfalfa
green. feed in the stems and the buds
and on the leaves. They attack the
young leaves and crown so that a
badly infested field will not make a
sufficient growth to be moved. The
larvae do not have true legs and when
full grown are from one-fourth to
nearly a half inch long When full
grown. which is from fifty TO sixty
days after Matching, the larvae crawl

STEPPED OFF SOCIAL LADDER
Couple Gave Up Struggle for Some
thing That Really Was Not Worth
All 1t Was Costing.

The night that young man and his
wife decided to quit the struggle for
social position is described in HarpeT's
Bazaar in THE Confessions of a
Climber as follows:
ct was morning before we had
talked over all our plans Wisely, we
left the dead past to bury its dead,
for there were corpses of failure in
each of our paths we could serve no
good end by dragging into view 1t
was the living, hvable future that con-
cerned us.
by ten o'clock that morning l had
resigned from the membership Of my
fourteen clubs and had broken every
social engagement on my list. I said
simply that 1 had found myself de-
voting too much time and money to
my social life and 1 had decided to
withdraw. Don't think it was easy to
do; after spending years of energy,
effort and struggle at riveting on this
gilded chain, it came hard to wrench
it link from link The light in Johns
eyes was the pillar of fire that kept
me in the road.
More than one friend hurried
around to expostulate before 1 should
have ruined myself; each one left
with a brand-new thought germ Some
admitted it was a dogs life, but

cause she didn't have my grit. -

ly.

In a moment Ruth became alarmed.

j Pete had arranged to outwit the ban

ITCHING INSTANTLY
And Completely Cured Skin Humor.

If you have eczema or any other
itching, burning skin trouble, the best
evidence Of what Resinol Soap and
ResiDoI Ointment can do for you is
the word of one who was cured by
them after weeks Of suffering. Adolph
Schoen, TAP Shepherd Ave, Brook
Ign, writes:
Nov. 1, 1912.-"At first little red
spots were seen on my arms and body,
which I noticed were getting larger
every day. They itched me so much
that I scratched myself until I bled-
There were times when I stood up all
night and scratched. I was troubled
about three weeks, during which time
I used -, which seemed to do me
no good whatever. Then, finally,
thought OF trying Resinol Soap and
Resinol Ointment. AS soon as I ap-
piled ResinoI Ointment I felt much re-
lief. After using it a few times, 1 no
tieed the sore spots slowly fading
away, and in about a month I was
cured completely"
The soothing, healing balsams in
ResinoI Ointment and Resinol Soap,
penetrate every tiny pore of the skin,
clearing it Of all impurities, driving
away eczema, rashes, ringworm, psori-
asis, and other eTuptions, and making
pimples and blackheads impossible.

in considerable numbers in freight and
passenger cars coming from the in
tested regions of Utah-cars which are
constantly traversing the alfalfa fields
of Kansas-it probably is only ques-
ton of a short time until the weeviI
will be distributed in the alfalfa fields
of Kansas. 1t is, therefore, highly i'm
portant that our alfalfa growers be on
guard. Just so soon as this insect is
discovered or has gained a foOthold,
the entomologists of the Kansas state
experiment station should be notified
in order that prompt measures for its
control and destruction may be put in
operation at once"
Although methods of control have
not been satisfactorily determined,
Prof Titus, entomologist of the Utah
experiment station, has made extern
sive experiments with various meth
DDS In summarizing the methods of
control he says: Alfalfa should be
diSked in early spring to stimulate it
to better growth. The first growth
should be cut when most of the eggs
have been laid Cmiddle of May in
Utah) and then brush-drag the field
thoroughly Fields should be brush
dragged again after the first crop has
been cut All weeds and rubbish
should be cleaned from the field,
yards, bitches and fence rows. so that
there will be less opportunity for the
weevil to find winter shelter. Alfalfa
should not be allowed to grow more
than seven or eight years in the in
tested districts"
A brush drag is recommended by
Prof Titus: Many patterns of the
brush drag are in use,' he says, but
the one which seems to be the best for
our work is made by laying the butts
of rather short brush, five or six feet
long, in row on a plank twelve or
fourteen feet long. Then another row
should be laid upon the first, consist
ing of longer brush, with the butts
trimmed a little further back, so that
you viii have in effect two brush har-
rows, one following the other. An
other plank should then be laid on the
brush butts and bolted to the under
plant In weighing this harrow, lay
an ordinary tooth harrow, with the
teeth down, directly on the brush drag.
This makes a very even weight, at the
same time it is so flexible that the
drag will work its way down into the
small depressions as well as over the
larger elevations of the field

" It hasn't arrived yet, but it
may come almost any day.
1t has been damaging alfalfa in Utah
and it may get into Kansas in railway
cars carrying alfalfa from that state.
Prof. George A Dean, entomologist at
the Kansas Agricultural College, gives
this description OF the enemy.
A small, oval, dark brown snout
beetle, marked with black and gray
hairs, giving them a notified appear
ance; about three-sixteenths of an
inch long, attacking alfalfa in Utah,
the adults feeding on the stems, leaves
and buds for several weeks. The
larvae are small, footless, alfalfa-green
worms with a black head, about one
fourth of an inch in length, and feed
in the stalk, in the leaf buds and on
the leaves. They have the habit of
feeding and resting in a curved posi-
ton.

pest has entered Kansas" says Profes-
sOr Dean, but as there are millions of

Utah, and since they have been found
