prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture).
The alfalfa-seed destroyer. known as
the chalcis-fy, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according TO the
United States department of agricul-
ture's specialist who has personally
seen the widespread devastation OF
this pest. BY harvesting severely in
tested crops, by cleaning fence lines
walton the grower of alfalfa seed may
help to control this insect. A new
Farmers Bulletin, mo. 636) entitled
"The Chalcis-Fly in Alfalfa Seed"
gives the details OF these methods
of control. and may be had free of
charge on application to the depart
ment.
The chalcis-iy under the microscope
is a formidable-looking insect but
when seen in the field it is frequently
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over alfalfa-seed shocks and swarm
ing over the sickle bar when the al
falfa Is being cut. The eggs are so
small as to be invisible to the naked
eye and are deposited through the
soft, green seed pods directly into
the soft seeds when the pods are about
half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats It's way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, then through the green pods.
Large portions of the seeds are hol-
lowed out In this manner, when they
are still green and growing.
The infected seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance of normal seeds. The ex-
tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent.
owing to the minuteness Of the insect
and because its destructive work is
accomplished within the growing
seeds. The alfalfa-seed grower can
only estimate the percentage Of his
crop destroyed by opening a large

number OF the seed pods and observ-
ing the infested seeds.
Harvesting Infested Crops.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such a severe infestation by
chalcis-fies that the grower considers
It of insufficient value to be harvested
and simply drives In a herd OF cows
to pasture the crop. With regard TO
the control OF the chalcis-fy for the
protection OF future seed production.
this is a costly mistake. Obervations
show that many of the pods burst
open, while others are trampled TO
the ground. Here great numbers OF
infested seeds offer favorable condi-
tions for the Information of the chal-
cis-fiy larvae. These, as mature flies.
will infest the seed crops the follow
ing spring. Under such circumstances
the crop should be moved, removed
from the field, and staked. II may
then be used as rough fodder; and
IL the remaining straw is burned in
early spring the alternating larvae
will be destroyed.
Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch Banks.
The following facts emphasize the
importance of cutting the alfalfa along
ditch banks and fence lines. as well
as in the fields:
/. The earliest seed pods are found
to develop on the isolated and vigor-
Gus growing plants found in such
places.
2. The earliest pods have an espec-
tally large percentage OF the seeds
infested with chalcis-fy larvae.
3. The chalcisfy larvae are able
to pass completely through the frst
generation In the earliest pods before

the regular seed fields are sufficiently
advanced for oviposition.
This cutting should be done with
the harvesting OF each hay crop. be-
fore the seed crop is grown.
1t is sometimes necessary 10 have
two or more irrigation bitches run
ming parallel. making 1t impracticable
to cut the alfalfa between them. In
such cases IL Is economy 10 fence
the bitches and use this land as a
small summer pasture, thus prevent
ing the development OF alfalfa seed
pods and the chalcis-fies.
Winter Cultivation.
In the process of harvesting the
seed crop many pods containing In
fssted seeds fall TO the ground. Here
they remain until the following spring
when the alternating insects emerge,
although cultivation with an alfalfa
cultivator. at some time late In the
fall or In early winter, will sufficiently
cover such pods and will prevent the
emergence Of most OF the adults when
the warm weather arrives.
Destroying the Screenings.
After the alfalfa is thrashed the
great mass Of screenings which is left
frequently contains large numbers OF
seeds infested with alternating larvae.
If the chaff. together with the screen
ings, Is placed in compost pile for
three or four months, SO that 1t will
become heated and decay, most OF the
insect life will be destroyed. Unless
1t is possible to treat the screenings
in this manner they should be burned
before the growing season opens In
the spring.
Many OF the alfalfa seed pods
along check ridges and fence lines
may be destroyed by burning off the
weeds and alfalfa. This should be
done either In the fall or early spring.
In purchasing alfalfa seed, farmers
should insist upon having seed which
has been well cleaned after thrash
ing and should never plant the un-
cleared product in new fields.

organized team which will challenge
all corners from the journalists TO
other municipal mines as soon as 1t
becomes warm enough to play at the

Sifford, manager Of the city hall team.
Although their nine was organized
late last season IT cleaned up with
two overwhelming victories before the
cold winds came and put crimp In
the pensioners ambition. And now
they are pointing to their record and
planning an active season in which
they say the county and newspaper

fast aggregation, but alike all comers

can be compelled to get into the ring.
Welsh and his manager frankly are
out for the coin. They want to reap
all the easy money they can over the
short distances before they take a
chance at losing the title.
Ii is foolish to say that Welsh fears
White. He Is simply raking In money.

money will cease to flow In. But
White thinks he can whip Welsh. and.
after watching White work, believe
he Is better today than he ever was.
He Is faster and there seems to be
more snap in his action. He is a
