Eats Nothing out Cotton.


 The cotton boil Woeyil, as far as known at present. has no food plant other than cotton. When confined in bottles the weevil will partake ot va. rious substances. such as anples or bananas, but this is only under the stress of starvation
 The boil weevil is strictly diurnal in It's habits and is not active after sun- down. Unlike some related insects. it is not attracted to lights. During the summer the majority of weevils do not live longer than sixty days. During the cooler part of the year many of them live as long as six months. The longest lived weevil on record lived from Dec. 10 to the following October.
 The boil weevil passes the winter in the adult stage. In the fall when frosts occur, immature stages may be found in the squares or bolls Provid- ed the food supply is sufficient many of these immature stages continue their development at very slow rate, and adults finally emerge. Ordinarily, however. the frosts that destroy the cotton generally kill practically all of the immature stages of the weevil.
 With tbe advent of cool weather in the fall the adult boil weevils in cot ton fields begin to seek protection against the winter. They fly from the fields in every direction. although their movements are governed par tially by the prevailing winds They may fly into hedges, woods. cornfelds. haystacks and farm buildings.
 Burning infested Plants In the Fall.
 A number of weevis also obtain hi bernating quarters without leaving the cotton fields by crawling into cracks Tn the ground under grass. weeds and other trash and into the burs from which cotton has been picked. Here. however. the mortalit, is greater than where the protection is better. The majority of weevils that hibernate successfully do not pass the winter in the cotton fields. Dur ing the winter the weevils take Ia food and remain practically dormant.
 Foremost among the methods of con trolling this expensive pest is the kili ing of the hordes of adult weevils that are ready to enter Information in the fall and the prevention of the develop ment of millions more that would later emerge to pass through the win ter. This is accomplished by burning

 ural size. Authors illustratiors 1 the infested plants in the fall after l the weevils have become so numerous 1 that there is no prospect of the natu-
 rity of any additional crop. Wholesale Destruction. There are many vital reasons why the wholesale destruction of the wee
 vils in the fall should be practiced by every cotton planter in the infested re- gion Some of these are stated below: First.-Hordes of adult weevils.
 many for each plant in the, field. are l killed outright
 Second.-Many more weevils that are in the immature stages. possibly as
 many as hundred for each plant in the field, are also killed.
 1 Third.-The few adult weevils es-
 caping will be weakened by starvation. l and the great majority will not have
 sufficient strength to pass through the l winter. Fourth.-The development of the late broods. which experiments have shown
 furnish the vast majority of weerils
 that pass through the winter, is cut
 off immediately
 Fifth.-Tte removal of the infested
 plants with i- weeviis facilitates fall
 or early Winter blowing. which is the
 best possible procedure in cotton rais- ing. Moreover. this blowing assists
 greatly ill the production of an early
 crop the following season.
 Should Ea Done Early.
 No definite rule can be laid down as
 to the proper time for destroying the
 weevils upon :n;! in the fruit of the
 plants in the fail. Ill general he prop CT time is whenever the weevils have reached such numbers as to infest practically all of the squares that are
 being set. Fall destruction as late as
 November will accomplish much. but several times the number of weevils can be destroyed if the work be done in October. The proper method in general is to uproot the plants by means of blows and to burn them as soon as possible.
 All stumpage or sprout cotton Is prevented where the plants are prop erly uprooted Where such sprout cotton or volunteer cotton appears it should be destroyed. Trash along hedges. ia fence corners, on turnTows and around old buildings should also he burned. and old sorghum fields should he carefully cleaned. They of- fer exceptional advantages as placer for hibernation. and corntields are also La source of danger.
