Grade Policy Adopted
For Alexandra Schools

The Alexandria School Board last night adopted formal
policy school system of elementary grades and five
high school grades.
The action was taken recommendation of a special

system. except at certain pc
riods when physical facilities
would not permit it.
The board also took steps to
provide water for tie new
Ramsay School. School Super
intendent T. C. Williams told
the board that unless some
thing was done the school
building would have to do with
out water.
The board voted to run a
/ .000-foot private six-inch line
from a nearby subdivision to
remedy the situation.
Mr.. Williams explained the
dilemma had arisen because a
projected street, and its water
line, planned for construction
past the school at the time the
building contract was signed,
had since been abandoned by
the city.
School Use Protested
The board also received a
letter complaining of plans to
continue six classes in the old
s-Crouch school building
after completion of its replace
ment in the fall.
George T. Webber, vice preSi-
dent of the Alexandria Council
of Parents and Teachers, read
the letter to the board.
Board Chairman Robert
Howard told Mr.. Webber the
board would study the lengthy
and detailed particulars of the
letter and act on it at a future
date.

Proper Treatment HI Rigbt Time

are very difficult to find even when
they are extremely numerous.
The damage is done by the larvaI
stage, a tiny whitish-yellow maggot-
like creature which feeds on the newly
formed leaves. The leaves appear
ragged and discolored and much of the
leafy surface is destroyed. The damage
is confined to alfalfa alone.
InfestatiOn Spreading
The accompanying map shows the
general distribution of the weeviI. It's
spread throughout Montana has been
relatively slow but it is becoming es-
tablished in new areas every year.
Alfalfa raisers in regions adjoining the
present infested areas should be con-
stantly alert for the presence of weevil
in damaging numbers ON first cutting
alfalfa. When this occurs control prac-
tices should be instigated the next
spring.
The only satisfactory time to treat

conditions in the northwest is in the
early spring before the adults have
laid any appreciable number of eggs.
You do not need new green growth on
which to apply the insecticide. Con-
troll operations can be started in early
March. Work can be continued up until
new growth is an inch or two high.
After this time numerous eggs have
been laid inside the new green stems
and these ssenness be killed by this
treatment.
Weather conditions anytime after the
applications of the insecticide do not
affect the control You may likewise
renovate before, during, or immediate
ly after application of insecticide with

application is necessary for that year.
Two Insecticides
There are two effective insecticides.
These are dieldrin and heptachlor. The
insecticide may be applied by either
ground sprayer or aircraft. One method

for the snow course high in the noun

the machine can go no farther.
Then the two men take to skis and
snowshoes. They are equipped with
long hollow tube made of metal, an
inch and half in diameter, and with
sharpened saw teeth at one end, which
they use in Sampling the snow courses.
Snow Course
A snow course is a permanently
established series of 10 stations in line
and 100 feet apart so that the snow is
measured in exactly the same place
each month and year. A few are at
low elevations, but the majority are
located in high remote mountain areas
where they are protected from drifting

Arriving at a course, they drive the
metal Sampling tube straight down UNI
til it reaches the ground at each of
the 10 sampling points. AS the tube
sinks, it fills with snow. The deph of
the snow is then measured in inches
graduated on the outside of the tube.

The tube and snow core is then with

That's what around 100 trainees did

Training Conference held at Jackson,

for it. There were trainees from
all the Western states, Vermont, Mime

80 observers and instructors at the

Since water is the Iifeblood of the

to determine how much water from

culture. industry. cities and other water

Train Snow Surveyors

annual snow surveys.
Snow surveyors learn to work as

SPRING Is HERE. AT least it is for
the alfalfa weevil, one of Montana's
most important and destructive insect
pests Where the weevil occurs it can
and does cause, by actual measure
ments, reduction in yield of as much
as ia tons of alfalfa per acre.
This loss was measured in a field
which produced 6.2 tons per acre for
the year in the treated portion of q
meadow. In areas of lower yield the
loss in tonnage produced was less, but
the percentage of loss often was even
greater.

So to control weeviIs? The actual con-
troll of alfalfa weevil is not matter of
chance Complete protection for the
current years crop can and should be
a guaranteed certainty: It doesn't mat
ter what your neighbor does.
Nor do you have to treat all of your
fields or all of a given field. Alfalfa
weevil control is very similar to weed
control in this respect You obtain con-
troll for the current year where you
apply the insecticide Migration from
adjoining infested areas is not factor
for that current year.
Yearly Damage
The alfalfa weeviI differs in another
respect from many insects with which
we are familiar. There is somewhat
of a variation in population numbers
from year to year. But where they are
present in damaging numbers and con-
troll practices are not used, severe
damage occurs every year. At least at
present, natural controls from such
factors as weather, parasites, preda-
tors, ETC., should not be considered in
your decision to treat.
The past seasons history, whether or
not noticeable damage occurred, is the
only measure you have as to the need
for control operations. The weevl oc-
