SPRAYING METHODS IN SPRING.

The second crop may also be protected by
spraying the stubble. Spraying may also be re.
sorted to in the spring. From fifty to hundred
gallons per acre of miture of arsenite of zinc
and water in the proportion of four pounds in
a hundred gallons are used for this purpose. The
apparatus best suited for alfalfa spraying Is des-
cribed in detail in the bulletin already mention.
ed. Still another recommendation made in this
bulletin is the stimulation of the growth of the
alfalfa by cultivating the field in the spring
This does not destroy the weevils. but il serves
to produce larger and earlier yield when their
attacks make early cutting necessary.
Up to the present, however, more farmers are

weevils spread, but certain facts in regard 10
this matter have been ascertained II is known
for example that the insects are often found in

in contact with II. They are found also in cured
alfalfa hay, especially that Of the second cutting

that the weevil may be transported in this way
On the other hand, however, there Is no evidence
to show that the weevl spreads more rapidly
along railroads than elsewhere.

EMERY SHEEP LOWERED.

But one reduction was made by the board. The
valuation Of sheep in Emery county was reduced
Is per cent, affording the gross reduction of
S53, 2s2. The action of the county commission
ers of Garfield county in increasing valuations
from l6 TO 100 per cent, in accordance with sug-
gestions made by the state board, made il unnec-
essary for the board TO make any change in the
report submitted by the auditor from that coun-
ty. The increases thus made voluntarily by the
county commissioners of Garfield raised the as
sessed valuation of the county nearly 100 per
cent.

GOVERNMENT TO ASSIST IN
ALFALFA WEEv|L PROBLEM
The sun Special Service.

The sun Special Service.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 1.-THE alfalfa
weevil is spreading in a way which makes it pos
sible that sooner or later every section of the
country will have to consider the problem OF
guarding against the pest. During the twelve
years since the weevil was introduced into Amer
lea II has been confined to the limits Of the great
basin of the West, but il has been found this year
by the bureau of entomology at Malta, Mccain
mon Pocatello and Blackfoot, Ida, all within the
Snake river drainage system, and at Duchesne,
Utah, in the Colorado river system which, like
that Of the Snake. slopes TO the Pacific Within
the great basin the weevil has spread as far south
as Richfield into the alfalfa fields of Central
Utah. The insect. in spreading across the contn-
entail divide department entomoogists say. is to
be regarded merely as passing a convenient land
mark rather than as surmounting barrier, for
experience has not shown that IL spreads faster
along rivers than across mountain ranges. New
ertheless II is now many miles nearer TO import
ant alfalfa growing districts which have hitherto
felt safe from its attack.

The total assessed valuation of property in
the state Of Utah, as nearly as could be deter
mined last Saturday by the state board Of equal.
zation, will be S529.4i92O2. The total from
county auditors reports amounted TO S527 .O62.-
$780, upon a gross increase Of $2.4O9.7l5 and a
gross decrease Of S53,2s2 as made by the board,
leaving a net increase Of $2,356.43s. A levy Of
two mills for state purposes, already provided
for In the 4.4-mill levy voted by the state board
for all purposes, will give the state revenue Of
81 05s, S3S40, as against Sl,026.000 last year.
Likewise the levy of 2.2 mills for school pur-
poses can be expected TO produce a revenue Of
81. l64, 1924 and that of two-tenths of mill
for state high schools sos, 1884.

SHORT OF THE NORMAL.

The board has agreed that the revenue that
would come from the valuation as finally estima-
ted will be insufficient for the requirements of
the state. the increase over last year being short
of normal increase that might be expected 10
taxation remained on the old basis, they say.
Taking the stand however, that they have ar
rived as near TO actual valuations in all instances
as is possible, they are disposed TO regard their
work as finished for the year.

CONTROL MEASURES SUGGESTED.


The alfalfa weev does not hibernate defin-
itely. When the weather is cool the adults are
quiet, but with warmer temperatures they
quickly resume their activities. Egg laying be-
gins in early spring and Is usually ended by June
10th. One efficacious method of controlling the
pest therefore. Is TO destroy the eggs by pas
turing the first crop up 10 that time A similar
result may be obtained by cutting the alfalfa
green and feeding II as a soiling crop,
IL this Ia not done the larvae match In large
numbers about the last week of May or earlier
and eat the alfalfa leaves so rapidly that the
plant Is unable 10 outgrow the injury. After
the field Is cut the larvae which have been feed
ing upon the first crop gather upon the buds OF
the stubble and frequently consume all of the
second crop. BY that time most of the insects
have completed their growing period and have
gone into the pupal or resting stage. The later
growth Of the crop, therefore, does not suffer
from them.
To protect the crop pasturing, as has been
said, Is effective In the early part of the season.
The field should be divided into two or three
lots and each lot should be pastured alternately,
the animals being left in IL until the alfalfa has
been eaten down close 10 the ground. The num-
Der and size of the lots should be proportioned 10
the producing power of the field and the num-
Der of animals 10 be pastured, so that each lot
may be graZed once in two weeks, Pasturing
should be continued until most of the weevil
eggs have been laid, which, in practice, means
a little later than the usual cutting time Of the
first crop, This method has the additional adj
vantage of providing an economical method Of
fattenng live stock. Combined with the proper
feed of grain, alfalfa pasture is excellent for
putting on weight 4 ic is said that many
farms would probably be more profitable if
their management centered about the pasturng
of stock on alfalfa with the growing of enough
other crops to provide grain and forage through
out the year.
If the weevils are not killed early in the year
they may be destroyed after the first crop has
been removed by getting rid of all the vegetation
in the field crushing the clods and filling the
cracks so as TO expose the entire surface TO the
sun. This Is best done by covering the field with
The Sun. [volume] (Price, Utah) 1915-1932, 1916-08-11

a dust mulch, the dust being an additional means
of killing the weevils. Success obviously de-
ponds upon doing the work when the ground is
dry and the weather warm and bright.

DESCRIPTION OF THE wEEvlL.

Description Of the weevil and methods of COM
batting its ravages are contained in new publica-
ton Of the United States department of agricul-
ture, Farmers Bulletin No. TAI. The spread of
the pest has, a matter of fact, been slower than
was at one time feared, but its progress has been
steady. In Utah and In small portions of Idaho
and Wyoming. where IL now exists. Il has caused
at times loss Of 80 per cent of the first cutting
Of alfalfa and total loss of the second cutting
In order that farmers in those sections In
which the weevil has not yet appeared may be
able 10 recognize the pest and 10 protect their
crops from Il, the bulletin already mentioned
contains details of its habits and of its appear
ance In the various life stages. The weevl Is
most easily discovered In the form Of full grown
larva. II is then green wormlike creature one
fourth of an inch long with a black head and a
faint white stripe down the middle of the back.
II feeds upon the leaves of alfalfa mainly during
late May, June and early July and may be found
by sweeping the tops of the plants with an in
sect net or by looking for the notches in the
leaves where II has fed, When the larvae are
numerous they destroy most of the tender
growth and cause the tops TO appear white. max.
ing the field look as II frostbitten when viewed

This beetle Is harder TO discover than the larvae
but. on the other hand, II Is present In the field
the whole year around. In winter Il can be found
by digging about the crowns and roots Of alfalfa
plants
