Sorenson, entomologist of the Utah extension service, advised farmers. Most peas in victory gardens and in many commercial fields of the state are Infested with the pea weevil, and unless it is controlled, this insect pest will be. 10 come an Increasing menace peas wherever they are grown, he said. The pea weevil feeds as a larva or worm within soft green peas, and the worms are Inconspicuous and are seldom seen by the average person. Just as no one wants to eat wormy apples, no one would eat peas, the entomologist wormy1 can do stated, and everybody this injurious much to control pest, in both gardens and fields. Cooperation of all gardeners and growers is essential to prevent increased infestation and damage to this choice and valuable crop. Because recent surveys definitely indicate that town gardens are the most important source of their own reinfestation and the Infestation of commercial nearby fields, he recommended close care of such gardens. Professor Sorenson declared that within the next month pea weevil larvae will have attained their maturity and will then transform and emerge as adult beetles. Upon their emergence these beetles will fly and spread for considerable distances, seeking favorable places in which to hibernate dur. ing the winter. If land is plowed to help in eliminating the pea weevil, he advised immediate irrigation following to hasten decomposition of the residue and to pack the soil to prevent emerged beetles reaching the surface of the ground. 1944 5 Five personas were Injured, one seriously, Saturday about 10:13 p. m. when two automobiles collided almost head on on U.
