Of Idaho and Wyoming, where 1t now
exists, it has caused at times a loss
of so per cent of the first cutting Of al
falfa and total loss of the second
cutting.
In order that farmers in those Sec
lions In which the weevil has not vet
appeared may be able to recognize
the pest and to protect their crops
from 1t, the bulletin already mentioned
contains details of its habits and of
Its appearance in the various life
stages. The weevil is most easily dis
covered In the form of the full-grown
larva. 1t is then a green wormlike
creature one-fourth of an inch long
with black head and faint white
stripe down the middle of the back.
1t feeds upon the leaves of the alfalfa
mainly during late May, June and early
July and may be found by sweeping
the tops of the plants with an insect
net or by looking for the notches in
the leaves where 1t has fed. When
the larvae are numerous they destroy
most of the tender growth and cause
the tops to appear white, making the
field look as If frostbitten when
viewed from distance.
The adult insect is an oval, brown
beetle three-sixteenths of an inch long.
with Prominent snout. It's color fire.
quently is nearly black. This beetle is
harder to discover than the larva, but,
on the other hand, it is present In the
field the whole year around. In winter
1t can be found by digging around the
crowns and roots of alfalfa plants.
Control Measures.
The alfalfa weevil does not hiber-
nate definitely. When the weather is
cool the adults are quiet, but with
warmer temperatures they quickly re-
sumo their activities. Egg laying be-
gins In early spring, and is usually
ended by June 10. One efficacious
method of controlling the pest, there
fore, is to destroy the eggs by pas
turing the first crop up to that time.
A similar result may be obtained by
cutting the alfalfa green aud feeding
IL as soiling crop.
II this is not done the larvae hatch
In large numbers about the last week
OF May or earlier, and eat the alfalfa

However, the estate Of a policy hold

1t has long been believed that rab-

idea, declaring that in his long expert

anything Of the kind.
It was agreed to leave it to either
John Burroughs or Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. McCorkle wrote to Colonel ROOse-
welt and received this reply:

subject, but am sorry to say cannot
