WIG \, p.rtner an Farm.

Mrs F. w. Hatch, of the Lotus wo-
mans Club Of st. Louis. recently read
n paper wherein, after picturipg some
thing of the pioneer days and Indian
times in that locality, she told of the
wife Of small tenant farmer. who
paid nearly. all of the farm rent with
the money from eggs and chickens.
She and her husband began married
life with some small savings, their
hands and good health. Mrs. Hatch
continued:
"TIe realizes that she Is an able as
sistant. She is his trusted partner and
co-worker. but when they are able to
buy a farm, 1t will be his farm, and IL
he dies. the man made laws OF the
State will not give the farm TO her.
Ny point is this: That while the divi-
sion OF labor and respon slbilities be-
tween the farmer and his wife might
indicate business partnership, the di-
vision OF the fruits Of labor and a
comparison OF their rights under the
law indicate quite otherwise"

THE ALFALFA WEEvIL

The alfalfa weevil. a pest introduced
in the United States, has for several
years been doing enormous damage to
alfalfa crops In Utah and elsewhere
In the very Far> West. and may be
expected to arrive in Virginia and the
South at any time. stitch in time
saves nine, says the old proverb. We
might 40 well get wise as to how to
meet this destroyer before he arrives.
Il. r. Kalmbach, who has given study
TO this weevil and Its work. says:
On invitation OF and In cooperation
with the Bureau of Entomology, the
biological Survey OF Utah undertook
TO ascertain the part played by differ
ent birds and mammals in checking the
increase Of this wecvil Accordingly,
the writer spent several months each
year at various points In the infested
region, investigating the food habits
OF local birds and OF n few batrachians
and other vertebrates. This article,
however. deals with the habits of birds.
The time and method OF the initial
introduction OF the alfalfa weevil into
Utah is unknown, but the first serious
1904, when n small infestation was dis
covered. From this foothold the
weeviI has spread until now the terri
tory infested by these pests Is very
great.
The alfalfa weevil Is q small snout
beetle, a little less than one-fourth
inch In length, and when II appears in
spring its color is very dark brown or
black. 1t passes the winter In the
adult stage. protected under piles Of
rubbish. in vegetation niong ditch
banks. the base OF hay stacks. etc.
Egg laying usually begins by the first
OF April, and the process may. continue
as late as July. From ten to twelve
days elapse before Matching. The pale,
newly matched larvae soon work their
way to the tender leaves and growing
buds at the top of stalks. where for
some time they may easily escape the
notice even OF birds. At first the
depredations are restricted to.the more
succulent portions of the foliage, but
by the time they have become full
sized they feed anywhere upon the
plant when green leaves remain.
The larvae usually appears In great
est abundance at the time of the first
alfalfa harvest The insects make
heavy inroads on the first crop. and
after harvest do serious damage by
retarding the growth OF the second
crop. All new shoots are devoured as
soon as they appear. and a field fire.
Quently remains barren for three or
five weeks after the first cutting When
full grown the larvae cease feeding.
drop to the ground. and spin rather
loosely woven cocoons. which are often
attached to dry vegetation at@the base
OF the plant. The adults appear in
large numbers in July, and may be
found clustering by hundreds upon

The foregoing has been given to
show. the reader som ething Of the
habits OF the pest which Is doing such
serious damage to the Western alfalfa
fields. 1t is necessary that every
means possible be taken to tdestroy

Large or Small Seed.

Extensive experiments show that q
distinct advantage follows the use of
heavy or large seed. The results at
plants are OF assistance In the eXpla-
nation of several points relating to the
differences in maturity, lack of uni
fCrmity In size, season, and quality of
production.
The advantages which accrue from
the use OF large. and heavy sweet pea
seed are earlier blossoming, larger
total number OF blossoms. and larger
number OF blossoms OF good quality as
indicated by. the Size of bloom and
large seed are heavier and bear more
and longer lateral branches.
Hubbard squash and sweet pumpkin
grown from small seed Welded larger
number and 4 greater total weight of
fruit. but were, however, markedly in
OF ripe fruit. Special precautions were
found to be necessary in order to avoid
mixed heritage OF seed.
The merits of large, seed in lettuce
culture are shown In the production OF
larger seeding, an increased weight
Of early matured plants. which dis
played better heading.up. capabilities,
earliness and uniformity in filling the
heads; In short, augmented earliness
and quality.
Heavy spinach seed outclasses light
seed in weight of plants. width and
number OF leaves height OF main stalk
and general earliness.
Parsley. q biennial herb which quick
ly reneWs its top when cut back
gives not merely larger and earlier
foliage, but showed greater recupera-
tive powers when the larger seed is
used.
Rad1shes, one oftthe shortest of short
term crops, show good gains in favor
of large seeds Sorting the sizes from
the same parent gives as great a con-
trast as sorting composite samples,
showing that gains may be made ir-
respective of the nature of the parent
plants Large seeds give a more uni
form crop ready for use about one
week in advance of small seed.
Trials with beans resulted in favor
of the large seeds. The advantage &C
cruing from the earliness of the prod
uct grown from the large seed IS some
what Offset BY its later termination
:. In single trial garden peas made
little or no response to size selection
of seed. although n. slight gain was
recorded for plants from large seed If
allowed to mature: but no gain was OBJ
served when harvested as green peas
The weights and sizes OF plants com
pared ut different stages OF growth
show that a continuous and permanent
advantage exists in favor of large seed.
Plants grown from large seed possess
moro leaves Of greater surface area
and hence have greater assimilative
powers.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1914-11-16

Some OF the consideration TO be OBJ
served in pruning mature trees arc as
follows:
Keep the trees open TO let in sun
light.
Take out branches that crowd or cross
each other and interfere with each
others growth
Keep the tree Within bounds so that
spraying and harvesting may be eco
Eomically done.
Care should be taken when removing
the branch from which, they spring.

removed the raw surface should be
