Show The County Agent Reports Box Elder County Form News by A. Fullmer Allred a Successful alfalfa seed e from the college visited three farms with us, on which was growing certified alfalfa seed. These farms were owned by Vernal Willie of Brigham City, Leland Capener of Riverside, and Howard Glenn of Tremonton, whose farm is in Hansel Valley. As we visited the Willie farm, we found the insect pests well under control, and the specialists pointed out that at this stage of growth, two applications of insecticide should be sufficient to control the insects. The first application of insecticide, such as Heptachlor, or Dieldren, or Chlordane, should be used before the alfalfa is two inches high for control of alfalfa weevil. The next essential spray application is at the early bud stage with DDTi This product will control all Lygus bugs for a period of three weeks. If during the bloom period, the Lygus population are not under come plete control, the use .of is advised. This product is not as toxic to the pollinating Insects, 6Uch as, honeybees, as are other insecticides. The insecticide should be applied in the early morning or late evethe ning, which will decrease chances of killing these valuable pollinating insects. , The Willie field is eighty acres of Marragansett, Previously this field was a breeder crop, growing foundation seed. Since the neighbor had planted a nearby field, it was necessary to declare the seed from this field as certified.

The specialists pointed approximately one pound per acre of alfalfa seed planted on dry farm land Is sufficient. Vernal told us that he had learned to avoid danger of seed by using the drill, regulated in notch No. 5, and mixing the seed with one-hal- f wheatmeal. He was able to plant one and nine tenths pounds total of seed and meal per acre. This breeder seed had cost him $5 per pound and he found that wheatmeal was much cheaper than the alfalfa seed at this Gary Larsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lisle Larsen of wfe rf'iVT ever-plantin- g rate. Capener Farm Leland Capeners farm in the Riverside area was visited next. This Is a 160 acre field of ranger alfalfa. Lee has harvested one crop of alfalfa which yielded approximately one ton per acre. The second crop is now coming into bloom. He asked if this might make a crop of seed this year. He realized it was late, but told us that he had delayed the first crop of hay because of the rain storms early in June. This field was four years old. He 100 normally expects about pounds of seed on his second crop. The bug population was under control. A few lygus bug nymphs were moving Into the field from the outside. On Howard Glenns farm we found the alfalfa was suffering considerably from drouth. Two fields had failed to bloom. The third field was coming nicely, conwith insects completely trolled. At the completion of the tour Professor Marshall Eleven pointed out that the average production in our dry farm area is approximately 200 pounds of seed. In California, where growers have imported honey bees as pollinators, the production is better than 400 pounds. The growers in California plan to have at leats one hive per acre in fields of alfalfa grown for seed.

Dr. Parkey is doing research work at the Utah State University on Safflower. After visiting several fields, Dr. Parkey pointed out that the safflower was doing better on the soils where the moisture had been more favorable. In some of the better dry farm sections of the county, we found that safflower seed should yield better than 1000 pounds. Where the rainfall was not as great and the soils were poorer, yields should be from upwards of 600 pounds. In some fields the gross returns should be as much as twice that of barley, NIE1SEH WAUER BRENNAN LESUE HAWIBS1MCV UWttMUlMtD MS wit wrtgNATinwit NUWICKfaf nr pirnfw thru WED. SUN.
