his conclusions as final, but rather
as suggestions and observations that
may possibly be modified by fuller
experience. After reading what the
weevil has done, and may be expected
to do in Texas, where the pest has
been IN this country longest. we can
form some conclusion of what to ex-
pect In other territory under like con-
ditions. One point worthy of special
note Is that the weevil does more
harm when In a section where il is
protected by timber. All that is be-
ing published regarding the weevil
would be useless IL there was no
hope of the readers profting By ii
and turning a large part OF their
energy 90 something else than cot
ton. This change should be at least
one year before IL can be expected
that the weevil will appear in force.
Making the change more than one
year before the weevil becomes a Sc
rious matter wilI give one experience
that will prove useful when the pres
ence Of the weevil compels a change
IN crops and In farm methods.
