Cut Early; Cure
For Butterfly
Alfalfa Damage

Every year at about this time a
person sees millions of yellow but
tCrflies swarming over our alfalfa
fields. These butterflies appear per-
pcctly harmless as they fit about
the fields and as butter flies are of no
particular significance. But as time
goes on they lay their eggs and
these eggs hatchout small army
of worms which are dangerous to
the crop. In other words the yOllow
butterfly is simply a step in the
life cycle of the insect,
The methods of eradicating these
worms is quite simple. The life
cycle from egg to butterfly is about
2S days, therefore if the grower
will watch and within the first three
weeks after the butterflies start to
appear, cut his crop of alfalfa and
stack it Immediately the worms viii
be killed by the hot sun. If the
water is withheld from the field for
few days it will further add to
their destruction.
1t viii pay to watch this situa-
tion this summer. Cut just as soon
aftcr the first butterflies appear as
possible even though the alfalfa
may not be quite far enough ad.
vanced. If your neighbor does not
do likewise he must suffer as the
bloom in his field will attract all
the butterflies.
