UTAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1916 WEEVIL ENTERS IDAHO The spreading of the cftUSed the United alfalfa .weevil States depart ment of agriculture to issue a bulletin to all alfalfa containing a warning west. the growers in The weevil was imported from Italy -- in 1904, by immigrants who located near gait Lake: For the first' three or four years the activities of the confined to Salt Lake counpest were then the spreading of the ty. Since .weevil has been a source of alarm to the owners of alfalfa fields in all parts of this state. The bureau of entomology reports that the weevil has been found this season at Malta, McCammon, Pocatello and Blackfoot, Idaho, all well within the Snake river drainage system, and at Duchesne, Utah, in the Colorado river system, which, like that of the Snake, slopes to the Pacific. Within the great basin the weevil has spread as far south as Richfield into the alfalfa fields of central Utah. The insect, in spreading across the continental divide, department entomologists say, is to be regarded merely as passing a convenient landmark rather than as surmounting a barrier, for experience has not shown that it spreads faster along rivers than across mountain ranges. Nevertheless,, it is now many miles nearer to important alfalfa growing' districts which have hitherto felt safe from its attack. ' - A description of the alfalfa weevil and methods of combating its ravages are contained in a new publication of the United States department of agriculture, farmers bulletin 741, from which te following is extracted: .The spread of the pest has, as a matter of fact, been slower than was at one time feared, but its progress las been steady. In Utah and in small portions of Idaho and Wyoming, where it now exists, it has caused at times a loss of 50 percent of the first cutting of alfalfa and a total loss of the second cutting. The alfalfa weevil does not hibernate definitely. When the weather is cool the adults are quiet, but with wanner temperatures they quickly resume their acti viSes. Egg laying begins in early spring and is usually ended by June 10. One efficacious method of controlling the pest, therefore, Is to destroy the eggs by pasturing the first crop up to that time. A similar result may be obtained by cutting the alfalfa green and feeding it " -- t means a little later than the usual cutting, time of the first crop. This method has the additional advantage of providing an economical method of fattening livestock combined with the proper feed of grain.' Alfalfa pasture is excellent for putting on weight, and it is said that many farms would y be more profitable if their centered about the pasturing of stock on alfalfa, with the growing pf enough other crops to provide grain and forage throughout the year. If. the weevils are not killed early in the year, they jnay be destroyed after the first crop has been removed by getting rid of all the vegetation in the field, crushing the clods and filling the cracks, so as to expose the entire surface the sun. This is best done by .covering the -- field with mulch, the dust being an additional means of killing weevils. Success obviously depends upon doing the work when the ground is dry and the weather warm and bright. The second crop may also be protected by spraying the stubble. Spraying may also be resorted to in the spring. From 50 .to 100 gallons per acre of a mixture of arsenite of zinc and water in the proportion of four punds of 'powder in 100 gallons are used for this purpose. The apparatus best suited for alfalfa spraying is described in detail in the bulletin already mentioned. Still another recommendation made in this bulletin is the stimulation of the growth of the alfalfa by cultivating the field in the spring. This does not destroy the weevils, but it serves to produce a larger and earlier yield whenrtheirattacks make early cutting necessary.
