WEEvIL EGGS IN STORAGE.
Weevils Do Not Hibernate in Stalks Of
Cotton, But Lay Eggs in Seed.

COttoni But Lay Eggs IN seed.
Jackson.-The statement of R. G.
Cole, a Simpson county farmer that he
had discovered the secret of the hiberna-
tion of the boil weevil, and that it does
not hibernate to any great extent, but
perpetuates the species by laying eggs in
the cotton seed, and that the eggs hatch
at the time the seed sprout, and the
young weevil lives on the tender root
juices until it emerges and begins on
the top or crown buds of the plant, Gre
ated great deal of interest among cot
ton men here.
If Mr. Cole is correct in his conclu-
sions, based upon his study of the wee
vii, the department of agriculture will
have to rearrange its entire method of
lighting the pest-and Mr.. Cole had a
sack full of the infected cotton seed to
show that he knew what he was talking
about. Each seed had an egg in it,

A one-Horse Corn Gutter.

order to cut through the large
stalks
A good, solid box is fastened to the
floor for a seat. Two men ride upon
the seat and gather the corn as the
knives cut It. When the men have
collected as much corn as they can
hold the horse stops and the corn is
set up in a shock. One must be care,
full in using this implement to not get
cut with the knives.

Should he find the bugs present in

burning should be done in such a way
as to burn close to the crown, for
thereby practically all Of the bugs
will be destroyed. Such as are not
killed by the fire will be so thor
oughly uncovered that they will per
ish during the succeeding cold
weather. To be most effective the
burning should be done as soon as the
weather has grown cold enough to
prevent such bugs as do not perish
from flying to unburned grasses. This
year this date came early in
November. Burning as soon after this
date as possible is best because the
bugs which are not destroyed by the
fire are left exposed to the elements
for the greatest possible length Of

even the migratory grasshoppers, we
make very little fight against them
when they appear in serious numbers,
Yet there are few of us so slothful
that we would not destroy them and
protect our crops If we knew how.
The first thing we need to know Is
whether action Is necessary-whether
the bugs are present in sufficient mum.
bers to render fighting them worth
while. They are distributed to a
small extent through all sorts OF
cover, but the vast majority Of the
whole number and the ones that will
do the damage next summer are gath
cred in clumps of bunch grass. These
are the winter places of the chlnch
bug. Just above the crown in mulch
composed Of soil and dead grass stems,
ranging from one-half to two inches
in thickness the bugs find the shelter
which protects them from both wet
and cold. While the thermometer out
side is jumping from IL degrees to
IS degrees in the chinch bug places
It varies only from % degrees to so
degrees. When the temperature out
side is II degrees below, inside 1t is
l degree below
During the past fall We have found
in certain parts of the state that a
single bunch of grass three to FIVE
inches in diameter shelters an average
OF thousand living bugs, At this
rate how many bugs could winter in
a fence row a half mile long? Let
us estimate that there are six punches
OF grass to the square rod, and that the
fence row is half rod wide. The
eighty square rods Of fence row would
have four hundred and eighty lunches
of grass which would shelter four
hundred and eighty thousand bugs.
Say that fifty percent Of these perish
during the winter-two hundred and
forty thousand would come forth in
the spring to lnfest the crop, OF these
