grown by Lon Hill in 1908 on his
big farm near Harrington. in the
Rio Grande valley, under irrlga-
tion. 1t was evident the weevils

ton thus far put out on the stalks.
Indeed. a government cotton ex-
pert who visited the field a short
time earlier. but who refused to be
quoted about it because he said it
was too new and extraordinary,
stated that in his opinion the wee-
wills had eaten fully two-thirds Of
the young bolls and that if the
field had been situated in a region
free from weevil it would have
made four or five bales of cotton to
the acre.
The land looked like it had been
in cultivation for years. Mr..
Snodrgass said he broke it in JAM
uary, 1909. There was not a weed
to be found in the rows we ira

mellow. The big stalks. coming
