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 to have
two or more irrigation bitches rum

ing the development OF alfalfa seed
pods and the chalcis-fiies.
Winter Cultivation.
In the process of harvesting the
seed crop many pods containing in
tested 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.
II the chaff, together with the screen
ings, is placed in a 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 of 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

ing the INFESTED seeds
Harvesting Infested Crops.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such severe infestation by
chalcis-flies that the grower considers
1t OF insufficient value to be harvested
and simply drives in herd of cows
to pasture the crop. With regard to
the control of the chalcis-iy for the
protection of future seed production,
this Is 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-
tons for the Information of the chal-
cis-hy 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 held, and staked 1t may
then be used as rough fodder: and
II the remaining straw is burned in
early spring the alternating larvae
will be destroyed
Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch Banks.

importance of cutting the alfalfa along
