are also confonnded with the boil
weevil. Ifone compares them side
BY side the difference is at once
evident, but is not observed other
wise. The confusion Of the acorn
weevil and the boil weevil has led
some parties to believe that the
boil weevil is attracted to lights
and to therefore advocate the use
OF trap lanterns. The acorn weevil
is often attracted to lights, but the
boil weevil very rarely or never.
Trap lights are therefore worthless
for the boil weevil.
Further recommendations 70 1
combating the boil weevil will be
published shortly.

NO USE TO BURN STALKS NOW.

Feb, 10.-To The News: In at
tending farmers institutes, by cor
respondence, and through the local
papers, learn that large numbers
OF our planters are cutting and
burning their cotton stalks in order
TO combat the boil weevil. Their
action seems to be based upon two
reasons. In the first place the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Dallas
Boil weeyil Convention, published
about a month ago directions for
procedure against the boil weevil.
These are, in the main, excellent.
The first one, however, has led
planters astray. II states: "Clear

IL would be wise TO burn the stalks
But the eggs Of the boil weevil are
laid only in the squares or bolls,
never in the stalks or twigs, and
never surviving the winter 20 far
as known. These eggs Of the tree
cricket are long, slightly curved,
yellowish eggs, laid in rows in the
stalks. In laying each egg a small
puncture is made in the stalk, so
that on the surface of the stalk
one may recognize their presence
within by a row Of fine punc,ures
extending for a couple Of inches
often these punclures cause the
stalks To split The tree cricket
doubtless does the cotton no other
injury, as in its young stage it is a
beneficial insect, feeding upon plant
lice, which often stunt the growth
of young cotton. The injury done
to the cotton stalks 10y the eggs is
uncomfortable and they are only
laid in the fall.
II must be clear, therefore, that
burning the stalks at this season

should be cut and burned in Octo.

do now is TO pillow all land deeply
as soon as possible and put in best

common is the bull nettle weevi
