"What a beautiful creature,' eX-
claimed a farm visitor indicating a
gorgeous yellow butterfly which had
alNhted upon a nearby shrub and now
raised and lowered his black-edged
wings in slow. graceful palpltauohs.
The insect appeared to be the very
spirit Of the hot summer day; his col
ors were the colorS and shades of bril-
liant sunshine and the deepest, black
est shadow, set in delightful con-
trast !; and its will was the will Of the
breeze that stirred the broad alfalfa
meadows beyond the garden, where
host and guest had retired to enjoy
the shade.
Appreciation Dampened.
"Beautiful-yeS," responded the
rancher, "but my appreciation is some
what dampened by the knowledge that
the pretty creature costs the alfalfa
growers of Arizona and California
about S1.0OO0O0 year. What this
butterfly costs in other stateS-hah-
sas. Oklahoma, Texas and others
I'm unable to say. but it must be an
immense sum. Rather high price to
pay for beauty. isn't it? We could
endow good many art galleries with
that sum; we could heautify our
schools and hang Rembrandts IN
every classroom. if there were enough
Of them to go around. We could bring
thousands of the city children out
into the fresh air and sunshine, If we
had the price of that yellow fellow
and his mate"
"HOw does he accomplish all this?'
asked the interested listener. ITS
harsh Indictment to Law against crea-
ture so apparently lacking in malice
Tell me about him; where does he
come from; how does he live. and
what are his pecularities?
The rancher rose, stepped through
the hedge, and came back with hand
full of alfalfa, freshly pulled from the
nearby field.

his growth by SOrging upon the tender
leaves and terminal buds of my al
falfa. Wherever there is an unusual
ly large number of these worms, they
will eat the stems, too, but their IA
vorite food is the tender portion of
the plant.
"While in this stage, the larva Is VIC
tim of many conditions and is preyed
upon by many creatures. A fly lays
its eggs upon the worm. These hatch
into grubs which penetrate and kill
their host.
Moisture and a hot, heavy atmos-
phere will induce the spread of dis
ease among the worms. See, here are
worms just afflicted with the disease

and their sluggish movements. In a

you've heard of the bolworm-so
injurious to corn and cotton? He
comes to our aid In the fight against
the alfalfa caterpillar, and, by one Of
those queer natural compensations,
does us a favor by devouring both
worms and pupa. Odd isn't it?
Lay Eggs All Summer.
unless the worm is destroyed, the
butterfly you have admired emerges
from the pupa in few days and be-
gins to lay eggs to establish new
cycle. This goes on all summer.
Control is accomplished by cutting
alfalfa close and clean. We clear out
our fence corners and bitches, and CO.
operate with our neighbOrs in clearing
their land. This leaves no shelter for
the caterpillar to live in from one al
falfa crop to the next, and the few
which do survive find food mighty
scarce, and many perish Of starvation.
'Disking with a harrow over the
meadows after crop has been moved
destroys many Of the insects in the egg,
worm or pupa stage. Besides killing
the insects which are preparing to
ravage the next crop, the disking
process, as every one knows, is a
mighty good thing for the alfalfa.
"We also use q brush drag well
weighted and run it over the alfalfa
meadows after the disking is done. The
drag gets into the hollows and crevices
where the harrow has not touched and
crushes the insect in whatever stage 1t
finds him. Even If the first cut has
been ruined by the pest, these methods
of irrigation and cultivation will insure
the reduction Of the caterpillar In time
to save the next cutting from his at
tacks.
"These methods are recommended by
the department of agriculture, and we
hope to prevent most of the annual loss
caused by the activities of yonder but
terfly."
