he made a special trip all the way to
Worcester, Mass, to tell the makers of

is what he said:

coming slightly hairy or pubescent
Down the middle of the upper surface
of the thorax this pubescence becomes
somewhat longer and so dense that it
forms a whitsh line. Some adults are
found whose body color is essentially
black instead of dull chocolate.
Again, some are more distinctly light
brown. The pubescence soon wears off
somewhat. and then the weevls look
darker This accounts for the frequent
confusion among planters as to what
the genuine weeyll is and how 1t looks
The active feeding period of the
adult weevils is during the day. At
night they travel and fly but very lit
tie 1t has often been noted that a
weevil observed in any particular
square at shutdown is found within the
Identical square Mt sunrise unless dis
turbed during the night. During the
vigorous growing season of cotton the
weevils 20 about from plant TO plant
by short sluggish flights. When cotton
is knee high or more, 1t usually hap
pens that they fly only across to the
next row before striking another plant,
on which they light.
Early in spring, when the adults
come out from winter quarters, they
are voracious eaters and feed readily
on any young cotton to be found. They
feed for the most part by getting up
among the developing leaf buds be-
tween the seed leaves, into which they
eat, just as they do the young squares
later. In spring, before squares are
formed on cotton, the weevils often
eat n small hole into the tender grow
ing portions OF the stems or branches
They have a habit Of eating into these
somewhat different from that of eat
ing into a square under cover. The end
of the stout, slightly curved snout OF
the weevil is provided with small
clawlike jaws, with which II actually
eats hole rather than bores it, az the
popular notion ls.
When preparing to feed on any ex-
posed portions of the plant, the weevil
nearly always uses its sharp mandi-
bles at the end of the snout to rasp the
outer bark. so as TO enable 1t to get
hold of the ragged ends which ii then
deliberately pulls off and lays on one
side. After doing this it eats the ten
der portions underneath. This process

the standard of Connecticut and its
wooden nutmegs may have to
give way before Maine and its bogus
seal noses and factory made pOrcupines."
There may be danger II this direction,
though our Boston contemporary gives
US credit for more enterprise than is
really due. We must perforce acknow-
ledge the bogus seal noses, but we deny
the factory-made porcupInes to the last
ditch. With bounty OF one dollar on
seals the manufacture OF noses has
apparently been a profitable industry,
but with nominal bounty OF only
twenty five cents on porcupines THEN
manufacture could no, be developed iuto
a profitable industry, particularly as the
woods are full of the genuine article.
