DESTROY COTTON
 PLANT BY OCT. 15
Result of Some Important Investigations Conducted by the Louisiana Crop
 Pest Commission.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. II. An interesting bulletin, as to the fight against the cotton boil wee vii was published today by the Louisiana crop-pest commission.
 In the first place, it advises the farmers to destroy all cotton plants by October l5 or Noyem Der. l.
 In summarizing the results of experiments upon which this ad- vice to the planters is based, the crop-pest commission says:
 "On September 28, 1908, a lot of live and active adult boil wee vils were gathered in a cotton field and placed in experimental cages. No growing cotton was in any of the cages in which the insects were placed. Thus the weevils were deprived of all food. Out of L,O37 adult weevils collected in the fields on Septem- Der 28, 1908, twenty-eight lived through the winter. Of the L. l09 gathered in the field October 5, fifteen lived until spring. Of the 1,132 Weevils collected Octo- Der 12, sixty-two lived through out the winter. This means that on plantations where cotton plants are destroyed before Octo- Der 15 only 3 per cent of the wee vils survived the winter to in- fest the succeeding years crop. '
