These points may be summed UP
like this: The most successful, pro-
fltable method of weevil control must
be the one which interferes the least
with good farm practice.
Cultural Abuse
In order to obtain a dry condition
in an alfalfa field at cutting time
some growers withhold the irriga-
ton that is most necessary for stimu-
laion of second crop growth. This
is a bad practice, especially when
there is a shortage of late season
water.
If, after removal of first-crop hay,
field remains brown and lifeless for
weeks, the grower often irrigates
heavily, thinking to stimulate growth
of second crop shoots. He overlooks
the fact that alfalfa will not resume
growth until after larvae have ceased
feeding and entered the pupal stage.
AS the alfalfa cannot use the water
he is applying, favorable condition
is created for the establishment and
spread of blue grass, wild bromus,
foxtail and other weeds. During the
past three seasons fields have been
observed in southwestern Idaho in
which good stands have been killed
almost completely by this practice
Alfalfa is comparatively drought
resistant plant and better practice
Is to withhold irrigation water until
the second crop starts and the plants
are able to make use of it.

forms will be the only work under
taken at the present time with the
exception of programs for the regu-

held in conjunction with the men g

decided to take up Home Improve

ings.
Women who wish to enroll in the

to Minnesota and Wisconsin. Copies
will be mailed to all the farmers in
Bingham, Bonneville, Bannock and

to Mountain Home
The following community meet
ings have been scheduled: Riverton

ALFALFA WEEVIL CONTROL

1t Is a fact admitted by farmers
generally, that alfalfa is one of the
worse neglected crops on the farm.
A field is seeded and produces abun-
dainty for a time; then 1t is forgot
ten excepting for an occasional 1rrl-
CATION or when the hay is cut. 1t is
not unusal to encounter fields that
have been seeded for ten to twenty
years, which have produced less and
less each year until their yields are
but fraction of what they could be.
When such fields become weevil In
tested, owners are likely to realize
suddenly the low yields they have
been obtaining, and blame the Alfalfa
weevil for what, in part, is their own
negligence. Alfalfa is one OF the
most important crops of our state
when considered in relation to all
phases Of agriculture. Anything
done to increase its quality and acre
yield is of direct benefit to every
agricultural industry, and of indirect
benefit to every line of business In
Idaho.
1t costs just as much to fight the

where good farm practices are fol-
owed, and the returns are proper

FARM AND HOME MAGAZINE
OFFERS INTERESTING PRIZE

The Farm and Home Magazine Ii
offering $4,000 in cash prizes on {
home improvement contest, which
runs from January l., 1924 to De
cember 1, 1924.
The first prize of $1,000 will go tC
that person, who between January 1
1924 and December /, 1924, makes
the greatest relative improvement
per dollar invested in his or her
home and home surroundings. The
person who has done next best will
receive the second prize of $500, the
third prize is $500 and so on until
$4,000 has been paid to $50 prize
winners.
tt is not a question of large spend
ing, but rather one of using each dol
lar so spent to the best advantage in
making improvements in and about
your home, that will determine
which prize you win. You, thru the
wise and sensible expenditure Of a
small amount of money, combined
with your own personal planning,
effort and labor, may accomplish
more in the way of worth while i'm
provements than another person who
spends thousands Of dollars. There
fore, regardless of how little or how
much you spend, you have chance
that is as good as anyone's chance
to win the prize.
This contest is open to everyone
and entries may be made at any time
provided the work is completed on
December L. OF course an early start
is important.
Anyone interested in competing in
this contest may do so by writing to
the Home improvement Editor, Farm
and Home, Springfield, Mass.
Should you be awarded a prize,
you must be able to verify to the
satisfaction of the judges the state
ments in your report as to condition
in your home before you began the
improvements it describes, as well as
conditions after Anything that
makes a better home comes within
the scope of the contest. There are no
fees, no obligations and no strings.

ton whether it is weevil infested OF
not, but unless it is treated fairly the
crop has little chance when it is at
tackled by the weevil.
Assuming that the stand is good
and treatment that induces an early
start in the spring and constant,
rapid growth during the development
OF the first crop is highly desirable.
Opinions of practical farmers gen.
orally and observations by various
experiment stations, indicate that
early spring cultivation, and estab-
fishing protective mulch against
rapid evaporation, all of which aid in
producing early and vigorous growth
of alfalfa. Cultivation also greatly
reduces the number of weeds and I'M
desirable grasses in the field. A good
implement for spring cultivation is
the spring-tOOth harrow. 1t should
be set enough to tear out the blue
grass, and the field should be har-
rowed first in one direction and again
at right angles. After spring-tooth-
ing, the gound should be smoothed
by use of the spike-tooth harrow.
Development of an alfalfa, crop
may be fastened or retarded by the
use of irrigation water. For best
growing conditions it is important
that the soil be quite moist when the
first crop is cut, so the second crop
shoots can make a rapid growth i'm

1t is very important that all grain
should be treated, whether sown in
the Surfing or Fall. 1t is not always
smutty by the appearance of the seed.
Seedfrom crop free from smut may
become infected in threshing, or by
other means. The safest method is to
treat all seed before planting.
The formaldehyde method is gen.

THE FARM w'oMAN's PROBLEMS
By FLORENCE E. WARD

The farm home is vital part Of
the farm. The business of farming,
unlike banking, bookkeeping and
manufacturing, is family matter.
The wife is necessary partner in
the business. Heretofore much at
tention has been given to the farm
and the farmer, but relatively little
to the farmers wife and the home.
With the desire to extend to the
farm woman the most practical and
acceptable assistance possible in
promoting her work, the department
of agriculture and county farm
bureaus, made survey a few years
ago OF about 10000 representative
farm homes in the rural regions of
the northern and western states to
learn from the farm women them
selves their real problems and how
the extension service may aid in
solving them.
This survey is believed to be one
of the most significant pieces of work
yet undertaken in the field of farm
home studies. One needs but to fol-
low the average woman of the sur
vey thru a weeks routine to realize
her many problems and to gain some
conception of the vitality and skill
called into play by her duties as

FORESTRY IN IDAHO

In Idaho almost more than In any
other state, the prosperity and social
welfare of the people are dependent
upon the forests. These forests
constitute an enormous and valuable
resource upon which the state Is
drawing in ever increasing amounts
and which II properly handled will
continue to supply the means OF pro-
gress for all time.
Data issued by the Western
Forestry and Conservation associa-
ton shows that more than two-f1fths
of the entire area of Idaho, or ap-
proximately 100000 acres are
classed as forest land. About 910.360
acres of this is suitable for agrfcul-
ture, leaving 22,029,827, which may
be considered permanent forest land.
Part of this will not produce market
able timber. However, If 100 feet
B. M. per acre be taken as the aver
age annual rate of growth for the
entire timber growing area, 1t is OBJ
viOus that Idaho can produce an
nually a crop of timber aggregating
nearly 1,5OO,0O0,00O feet B. M. In
other words, under the practice Of
forestry, the lumber industry could
probably be increased by so per cent
of its present size and at the same
time continue to operate for all time.
LAUNDERING is the third largest in
dustry in the United States, employ
ing $4,000 wage earners and carry
ing capital investment of more than
$4,000, 100000.
The paper industry in 1920 pro-
duced a product which passed the
billion dollar point in value. This |
industry is directly dependent upon |
the forests.
The 10000 sawmills in the United
States are now producing over SO
per cent of the total lumber cut of
the world.
1t is estimated that the lumber in
dustry in Idaho pays $18,000.0
annually to labor, and 100000
each year for SUPPLIES, the greater
part of it for products from the farm
and range. Since the money paid /
for wages is in turn mostly paid out
by the wage earners for supplies, it
will be seen that the lumber business
affords an important home market.
