there is little further movement until

over-wintered weevils go from winter
quarters to the nearest cotton field
and remain there until the migratory

weevil moves about but little except
IN the fall makes it possible for an
individual farmer to obtain the best
result from his own efforts In fighting
the pest. There Is little danger of
the arrival Of weevils from fields
where they have not been picked off
the little cotton until in August when
the cotton crop is normally set. The
danger of the movement Of weevils
from farm to ia m before August is
not important enough to warrant any

that the majority Of the over-wintered
