HISTORY MADE IN THIS SMALL TOWN Weevil Damage May Be Heavy Salt Lake City. The outlook this spring Indicates that weevil damage Is likely to be heavy in the alfalfa fields of Salt Lake County, reports V. E. Martlneau, county agricultural agent. The mild, open winter made It possible for a large number of adult weevil to live through the season and the eggs laid by these adult Insects are almost sure to be heavier and more widely distributed than usual, Mr. Martlneau comments. The county agent urges that farmers who are growing alfalfa In the older hay growing sections be prepared to use effective measures to prevent or reduce serious damage by this pest. His recommendations are: "Fields showing weevil damage should he cut ns soon as growth shows signs of being checked. As soon as the hay can be removed from the field, the old practice of harrowing and brush dragging shout be employed. Damage to second crop Is caused by retarded growth due to the weevil feeding on the new growing shoots. Practically all farmeds In Salt Lake and adjoin-ncounties are familiar with the old methods of harrowing and using a brush or drag or the wire drap, the efectlveness of which Is generally recognized.
