Let as not try to fool ourselves bV
SAYING that the army worms nave

nothing for the weevils TO eat. They
will find plenty of food IN the most
barren cotton field. We must remem-
her that it does not require as much
food for a boil weeVil as it does for a
horse. Furthermore, all OF our cotton
will take q second growth just as soon
as we have little more moisture In
the soil.
Practically all of US will be able TO
destroy these stalks by the goth of DC.
