ALFALFA WEEVEL is

played havoc among the farms OF
Utah. Idho, Colorado and Wyoming

hundreds Of thousands of dollars an

According to the news bureau OF
the department, in a letter received
by +. l.. Garthwaite, Imperial county
farm adviser, the weevil has been
found in large quantities in Utah,
iugt 20 miles from the California
border and every effort is being made
to stop the pest.
After seven years experiment in
destroying the weevil, the department
has announced the finding of an
arsenical solution, which when pro-
nerly applied viii eliminate the wee

STATIONS have been carried out in
different parts Of the United States
and in each case success has resulted,
according to Mr.. Garthwaite.
The farm adviser expressed him
self as being believer in the theory
of "An ounce of prevention is worth

farmers take particular care in

session there is report from joint
legislative committe of six appointed
at the session in 1919 to study the ed
ucational system of California and
submit recommendation to the 1921
session. sstss
These recommendations, which are
bulked in a pamphlet of nearly 100
pages, may be summarized thus:
A suggestion that the constitution
be amended to do away with the state
superintendent of public instruction,
now elective, and to substitute COM
missioner of education to be appointed
by the state board of education.
A suggestion that the constitutional
provisions relating to county super
intendents be amended to provide for
their appointment by county super
visors instead of their election as at
present.
A county unit law, which would con-
solidate the duties of all country
school officers into one control, Just
as schools are administered in the
cities.
An increase of the minimum school
term from six to eight months.
Changes in the reapportionment

(By Assocfated Press)
SACRAMENTO, jan. PA bill TO
eoualize the Distribution of county
road funds was introduced into the
state assembly here by Assemblyman
f. ]. Cummings of Humboldt county.
The amendments suggested by the
bill would enable county supervisors
to take all road funds, without refer
ence to whether they were raised IN
any particular district, and appor-
ton them to any supervisorial road
district in the county. This, Mr.. Cum
mings said, was intended to enable
strong district to contribute funds to
aid weak one.
1t was also suggested that since the
present law was adopted some sup
ervisorial districts have been relieved
of the upkeep of long stretches OF
roads because they have been classed
as state highways and are maintained
bv the state. Money thus saved, 1t
was explained, could, by the proposed
act. be made available for use in dis.
tricts that had not been SO relieved OF
mart of their burdens.

ion of all the laws of the United
States into a single volume of more
than 100000 words, making the
largest law book in existence, was un-

material began with the revised edl-
tion of 1878 and ran through % other
large volumes, the statutes at large,
containing laws enacted since that
time .up to March 4, 1919.
