The aggregate value OF these two crop,
was about $4,500,OOO whereas had each
equaled the crop of 1906 the cotton for
these COUNTIES would have brought into
them more than s10,600,000.
Texas-The boil weevil first appear
ed in the State of Texas in 1892, and
during the next is years caused an
enormous loss in the cotton crop Of the
State. In seven selected counties 10
the northwestern section of the State
the production in 1906 amounted to
232.O63 bales. This was reduced to
114,701 bales n 1907; to 153,3i7 bales
in 1908, and to 145,752 bales in 1909
The aggregate value of the three croUs
in these counties amounted to about
24,0OO,000. If the production of 1906
had been maintained, the value would
have been approximately S40,00O,OOO
Probable Effect in Areas Threatened.
Alabama-The bo'l weevil now COW
ers the southern portion of Alabama.
Selecting six counties in the eastern
part of the State, which are in the
dirct path of the weevil, the production
during five years has amounted to 772
S25 bales, which sold for about $45,-
100000. If the ravages of the weevil
in these counties should result in re-
ducing tn production in the same pro-
portion as in the selected counties in
Mississippi. the cotton produced dur
ing the four seasons following the
spread of the weevil throughout these
counties would amount to 100000 bales
and the financial loss, computed a.
$50 per bale, would be more than $22,-
100000.
Georgia-Selecting five important
cotton producing counties in western
Georgia, which are also in the path of
the weevil the loss in the production
during four seasons following the in
vasion of the insects would range from
200, 600 bales, based on the experiences
of the counties in Texas, to $4,000
and 39O,OOO bales, based on the pro-
duction in the selected counties in Mis-
sissippi and the parishes in Louisiana,
respectively. The resulting financial
less in these counties would be there
fore, from $1O,OOO,OOO to $19,5OO,OO0.
South Carolina-The production of
cotton during the last five years in
the five most important cotton grow
ing counties in South Carolina was
t,47S,72S bales, a value of approximate
ly $S7, 100000. Should the boil weevii
infest these counties, with resulting
loss in cotton production, such as oc-
Cured in the selected counties in Mis-
sissippi, the reduction in the crops
