The small insect known as the al
falfa weevil, which has caused so
much damage to alfalfa and other
crops In Utah and other states, and
whose depredatons brought about
a quarantine on Utah horticultural
products und produce by other states
last year, will be entirely stamped

Is believed that II will kill the al
falfa weevil on an entire field by be-
ing used once.
Like most federal officers. especi-
ally those who are doing good work
for the farmers and wish to accomp-
lish 1t with as little notoriety as pos
sible, Reeves is modest regarding his
invention. Although he tested out a
crude machine Of this type last year
In an experimental way and found
that II would probably be good one,

Now For a Clean Town

As result of the movement started
by the Utah Development League, a
great many towns are now entering
the clean town contest" In a clean
town is good place TO live. What
greater advertisement could town
have than to be known as the clean
est town In the state" Even IL you
live In a well-kept town there Is much
that can be done to make 1t still more
attractive. Work that you do with
trees, shrubs, grass, flowers and the
clean back yard of corall will increase
the value of your property and give
you good appetite.
This work can not be accomplished
all at once. A cleanup day" 10 a
is essential to success.
Logan has made a good start with
a well organized committee and have
for their slogan ''Flyless Town"
Provo would be known as the City
Beautiful" They have 400 people who
are competing for prizes for the best
idWh anu hover garden.
Bountiful, the PASADENA OF Utah, has
done some very effective work clean
ing up their town.
Many other towns are at work clean
ing up and are learning the value of
The advertisement that comes from a
clean place. Best results can only
come when a community is united
IL every home Ia clean and beautiful
you have chance to win. When you
have cleaned your own place, help
with the vacant lots. parks, streets
and public places.
According to the state board OF
health $500 deaths In Utah durins
1913 were preventable II proper SAM
tation had existed.
The fight against the ny Is nation
wide, and the best way to get results
Is to prevent or destroy the breeding
places. IL there is anything that COM
mands respect and admiration II Ia
folks that do things. The chief aim
OF the Clean town contest Ia to move
the people OF the towns TO acquire the
habit OF sustained cleanliness.

The instrument is a simple one and
can be manufactured for about two
dollars. II consists of n twenty foot
iron pipe with twenty-one small holes
bored In the top at certain intervals
along its entire length. 1t Will be
placed on the rear end of a wagon
carrying gasoline engine, pump and
tank carrying arsenical poisoning.
AS the wagon Is driven over the field
the pump will force the poison from
the tank into the pipe and 1t will
spray from the small holes over the
field, covering swath of twenty feet
or more at time and effectively
killing all the wecvils.
While Reeves will not say posi-
lively that his machine will solve the
alfalfa weevil problem that govern
ment men have been working on in
the lntermountain country for many
years, he admits that he has great
faith In the contrivance and believes
that one application to field will
stamp out all the weevil in IT, He
says that in the average alfalfa field

there are about hundred thousand

The machine will not be patented,
but II the results obtained by the eX-
perments which Reeves and his as
sistants will conduct prove to be sat
isfactory the department of agricul-
ture will publish directions and plans
for its manufacture and use and farm
ers will be advised to utilize It to rid
their fields of the weevil. II will al
so mean dollars and cents to all
producers Of the state, as the quar-
antines placed against Utah agricul-
tural products resulted last year in
heavy loss.
Heretofore the only method of
fighting the wecvil was the introduce
tion of foreign parasites. II was
claimed that these parasites would
In time destroy the weevil. So far,
however, no real results have been
secured from their Introduction, and
1t would be matter of several years
before the weevil were all killed, even
II the parasites proved efficient. and
the new machine will undoubtedly be
given a hearty welcome by the farm
ors Of the state.
