WAGE WAR ON
DREAD WEEVIL
Southwestern Idaho Sure of
Bitter Fight Agatngt Pest
Boise( Ida., June 14.—Attack on the
alfalfa weevil is being made from sev
eral different angles by the University
of Idaho extension division and ex
periment station, under authority of
the act of 1919 legislature, which ap
propriated $20,000 to combat a pest
is placed among the worst that threat
ens the agricultural interests of the
state.
Claude Wakeland, extension entom
ologist, is in the southwestern part
of the state, giving demonstrations
the method of controlling the weevil
by spraying with an arsenic solution,
wHich is stated to be the best known
method thus far devised.
Ralph H. Smith, of the Twin Falls
entomologist substation of the uni
versity experiment station, has been
conducting an experiment in the Pay
ette valley to ascertain the possibility
of killing the weevil with an arsenic
dust, a method faster than the
spray method, and one which thus far
is reported to promise excellent re
sults.
Comes Close to Caldwell
While awaiting the outcome of this
experiment, Mr. Smith is conducting
a "scouting expedition" through sec
tions of the state where the weevil
thus far has not been reported,
see if it has made its appearance. This
trip is taking him through Mountain
Home and the Grand View country,
the Twin Falls north and south side
projects, Burley, Rupert, into Bing
ham county, anl possibly elsewhere.
Mr. Smith reports finding the weevil
all the way between Payette and Em
mett, present in small numbers
about Emmett, all the way between
Caldwell and Eagle, all the way from
Star north to the sagebrush, and two
miles out from Caldwell on the Boise
Caldwell road.
Payette valley farmers are spraying
to kill the weevil, having started this
method of fighting the pest last year.
For this reason, no spraying demon
stration was given there by Mr. Wake
land. He is, instead, making a trip
through Franklin, Onedia, Bannock,
Bingham, Madison and Bear Lake
counties with a spraying outfit mount
ed on a truck, to show what the spray
will accomplish. This work is expect
ed by the university people to result
in extensive spraying by the farmer«
themselves next year, as it is.said
fermer can adapt to the alfalfa work

Spraying Most Effective
'Spraying for control of alfalfa wee
vil offers the most practical, economi
cal and dependable method known at
present," says Mr. Wakefield. "A
spray applied at the time the eggs arc
hatching in greatest numbers and cor
responding numbers of larvae are at
tacking the foliage will greatly reduce
the damage to the first crop and it
may grow until the normal time of
cutting. Each man will have to
watch his own crop to determine when
spray should be applied. In general
a spray applied just when injury to
the foliage becomes easily noticeable
and increases rapidly obtains the best
results. This date may vary from ri
few days to two or three weeks be
for the date of cutting the first crop,
but there is considerable leeway and
any farmer by watching the appear
ance of his _rop closçly can secure
good results by spraying."
