wonderful- showing is due in measure
Ito the splendid organization that was
built up for the. work headed by
Chairman j.. B. Hecht. His workers,
most energentic young men, organ
lied into teams, directed by capable
captain, covered every part OF the
city Systematically.
The work, however, got a great I'M
petus from the mass meeting held IN
the temple at which Rev. DR.. Louis
D. Mendoza was the chief speaker.
At that meeting, $4,000 was sub
scribed and with this encouraging
foundation the. campaign workers
went forth with zeal that knew no
defeat.
Splendid cooperation was received
everywhere, for non-sectarlan ap-
peal was made to all citizens. The
newspapers did their share in arous-
ing general interest in the appeal and
the result was a most generous and
pleasing response.
The enthusiasm of the workers was
due in no small measure not only to
the address made by DR.. Mendoza but
to the heart-to-heart talk given by
Mrs. Alexander Kohut, a field worker,
who came to >Norfolk at the special
request of State Chairman Moe Levy
and who spoke to the workers at a
dinner arranged for that purpose by
Chairman Moe Levy and Secretary

ters of the Revolution yesterday
staged one OF the largest and most
successful benefit bridge affairs ever
given in Phoenix. The event took
place in the blue room of the Adams

the entire decorative scheme was de-
pendent upon the use of flags. It
was charmingly carried out. Every
detail held a patriotic suggestion, the
tally cards bearing the emblem Of
the organization.
In addition to the many who par
tioipated in the card game were many
who dropped in for tea. During the
hour Mrs. Doane Merrill sang group
OF songs in her incompatible manner.
The bridge prizes, which were un-
usually attractive, were won by Mrs.

had charge of the arrangements.

STATUS OF HIGHWAY
COMMISSION TO Be
DECIDED BY COURT

The test OF the status OF the MARI
copa county highway commission un-
der the new highway bond issue was
begun yesterday, or really the even
ing before, when the commission
issued its first claim against the
proceeds of the bond issue. It had
been suggested that the supervisors,
In order to avoid delay in the con-
struction OF the program, begin quo
warranto proceedings while. the re-
ceipt OF the bond proceeds were
awaited.
But the supervisors evidently want
ed the commission to take the ini-
tiative. Accordingly, on Wednesday,
Immediately following notice that
$T15,OO0 Of the proceeds had bN'n
received In Phoenix and was at ne
disposal OF the county treasurer, the
first claim was presented with the
understanding that the treasurer
would refer the matter to the SUI
pervisors.
That was done. and yesterday the
county attorneys office in a lengthy
opinion held that the highway COM
mission had passed out of existence,
or rather had no existence, as to the
disposition of the funds arising from
the new bond issue.
The treasurer, bound by that opin-
ion, refused payment of the claim.
The next step, naturally, win be the
institution of mandamus proceedings
by the highway commission.
This is said to be an amicable con-
test, for the purpose Of determining
the validity of the acts of the COM
mission. However it may end, that
would not necessarily mean diff
ferent personnel of the commission
The commission is supported in It's
contention by an opinion by its
former attorneys, Kibbey, Bennett
and Jenckes. and by that Of former
County Attorney Laney.

Leaf Weevil Threatens
Most Valuable Crop Of Arizona

Because of vast stretches OF desert,
separating Arizona's agricultural dis
tricts, the former method is hardly
to be feared. To prevent introduc-
ton by the latter method, the state
of Arizona maintains a quarantine
placing an absolute embargo upon
all hay. straw, grain, alfalfa seed.

from weevil infested districts. House
hold goods and farm implements
from these districts too might carry
weevil and for this reason they must
be accompanied by sworn state
ment that no quarantined articles are
included in the shipment. Livestock
shipments are required to enter the
state in thoroughly clean cars. en-
tirely free of all hay and straw OBJ
tained from weevil infested districts.
BY reason OF the vigilance of the
states crop pest inspectors, acting
under the Arizona state commission
Of agriculture and horticulture, the
weevil has so far been prevented
from invading Arizona. However,
with the constant increase OF travel
coincident to the increasingly rapid
dNNCAORAACAAG VA <ALA1OAl1 4llQ NAO GOlA-
ing of new residents from those parts
of the country infested with the vice.
vii, the danger OF injection IL dis
tinctly increasing each year. The
enforcement OF the alfalfa weevil
quarantine necessitates the inspec-
ton Of all shipments into Arizona Of
all products or commodities which
might serve as carriers of the weevil.
This means that inspectors working
under the direction of the state ento-
mologist must be on the job at all
times to examine not only freight and
express matter but also personal be-
longings OF newcomers entering Ari-
zona by automobile. The amount OF
work required to successfully do this
is readily apparent and the size OF
the task is constantly Increasing by
reason OF the rapid agricultural de-
velopment Of the state and the con-
tinuous increase in travel.
While these inspectors are making
every effort to cover as much ground
as possible, by reasons necessitated
by economy coupled with the vast
ness of the field to be covered, ii can
only reach a maximum point of ef-
ticiency when it has the active sup
port and cooperation OF all of Ari-
zona's citizens.

BY Don C. Mote, State EntomoIOuist

Alfalfa is unquestionably Arizona's
most valuable crop. There is no
place in the world where it grows
under more favorable conditions or
produces better results than 1t does
here. Yet this great industry is to-
day menaced by one of the most
dangerous insects that ever harassed
a farmers field.
In Utah, Idaho and certain coun-
ties of Wyoming, Oregon, Colorado
and Nevada, one-fourth of the entire
productivity OF alfalfa is totally de-
stroyed by the alfalfa leaf weevil,
which insect practically kills the
growth of alfalfa by feeding upon
the leaves and eating the buds. The
actual manner of introduction into
Utah will probably never be known.
Originating in Europe, 1t might have
come in straw packing, hay or other
material used in shipping household
goods, crockery or nursery stock.
Means of Dispersal
Recently the weevil appeared in
the alfalfa fields of Nevada, near
Reno, probably introduced by means
of race horse shipments, carrying as
feed alfalfa hay from infested dis
tricts in Idaho or Utah. California
quarantine officers have repeatedly
found live alfalfa weevil in the be-
longings of auto tourists passing
through Reno and in potato ship
ments from Idaho. The migrating
weevils often crawl into fruit pack
ages, which are pac' ed in orchards
surrounded by infested alfalfa
fields. The hauling of hay from in
tested districts and the carrying of
feed for horses. cattle or other stock,
shipments originating in the infested
districts, win aid in the distribution
OF the insect. In fact every sort of
vehicle travelling through an infested
region may become a means Of dis
tribution for weevils, which may fly
or alight upon it.
During the first year OF the pres
ence Of the weevils in alfalfa fields
there is scracely any damage notice.
