Pest Control On Alfalfa For first crop alfalfa seed the recommened control measures for weevil and lygus bugs is the ap-plication of 20 pounds of 10 DDT dust per acre. This amount when applied in the bud stage when weevil damage begins to grow serious is sufficient to give control of weevil and lygus 'bugs. Because of the amount of rain which has fallen recently, it would be well to keep close watch on treated fields in order to observe whether the insecticide used before the rains has lost its potency. At least 5 lbs. of 50 calcium arsenate per acre is recommended for weevil controy on alfalfa in-tended for forage. This does not give effective control of lygus bugs, however. It is recommended that a full 20 pounds of 10 DDT be applied in the bud stage on first crop al-falfa seed. This should give ade-quate protection through the bloom stage, and thus avoid dust-ing at a time dangerous to honey-bees. Testimonial Is Sunday (light For Ruth Hansen Miss Ruth Hansen will be honor-ed Sunday night, June 12, at a farewell testimonial in Delta Se-cond ward. She enters the mission home in Salt Lake City June 20, and sails July 5 for Denmark, where she will serve a two-ye- ar mission.

A Hansen family reunion wiU be held this weekend in Delta, with as many of the seventy-tw- o members present as can come.

Seegmiller, principal of Delta high school, received his Master of Arts degree in Education administration at Commencement . exercises at Brigham Young Uni-versity Tuesday. His thesis, com-pleted this spring was "A Survey of Delta High School Students Who Discontinued School Before Graduation And Their Reasons for Dropping Out." It was developed from personal interviews with nearly 300 one-time Delta high school students from 1923 to 1948, the majority of whom had quit school in their sophomore and junior years. Their reasons for doing so were tabulat-ed and studied carefully, to aid school heads in retaining the stu-dents' interst until graduation. Trout Fishing Yill Begin 1949 Season On Saturday Saturday, June 11, will com-mence the trout fishing season in Utah, and from reports, the larg-est crowd in history is expected to be out on the opening. Locally the Sevier river above Leaming-ton will draw the largest group of fishermen, as it has been stocked several times this year, as well as heavily stocked last fall with Up to date we have not heard whether or not Oak Creek canyon has been stocked, but up to Saturday of last week it had not. Some people who have been cat fishing at the reservoir report catching trout there; and also re-ports have come in that trout have been caught at the Diversion dam. These are no doubt fish that have come down from the Leamingtn area. The river is running exceptional-ly high this season so that it may hamper the fishing in the river but when it goes down there should be very good fishing from Rocky Ford on down the river. Our recommendation is to go fishing on the opening and to think nothing at all about having to stand elbow to elbow along the streams and around the lakes.

And they have called Delta home since 1912. They come from a family of seven children, and were raised on a farm. The picture was taken shortly before the fam-ily moved here. The oldest girl spent most of her time on horseback, and still loves horses. Why, only last year she was busy bottle-feedin- g a mustang colt her husband lugged in off the desert. She was married in 1921, and has two daughters and two grandchildren. The second girl had been mar-ried since 1925, and is a farmer's wife. Their family is five children. The baby girl grew up on the farm, and was married here. Her husband drove the school bus from Sugarville to Delta two years. The two older sisters may be seen often, shopping and visiting around Delta. The baby sister moved away to live. The trio may be flustered, and will be surpris-ed when they find their pictures here. But those things do happen. Have vou an idea who they are? It really is an easy one to guess.
