BOIL WEEVIL BUSY IN GEORGIA;
BOARD ADVISES PICKING BY HAND

der buds, squares or blooms. Most OF
the cotton in South Georgia is now
putting on squares, and it is upon
these that the weevils will center
their attacks. They feed to some ex-
tent upon the squares and deposit
their eggs in them, one egg being
placed in each square. The square
turns yellow, flares open and falls to
the ground.
If as many as fifty weevils to the
acre are found, the board recommends
hand picking of weevils and infested
squares. Weevils and infested squares
should be collected and burned or
buried deep enough to prevent the
adults from emerging.
The figures Of the United States Blu
reau of Entomology on the hand pick
ing of weevils, show that gain of %
per cent was made in yield, where it
was practiced, at a cost of $3.50 per
acre. This consisted of five pickings.
How To Pick BY Hand.
If the weevils are abundant, hand
picking should be practiced until early
in July. The weevils continue to
emerge from Information, or come out
of their winter quarters under straw
and rubbish, all through July, but
most. of them come out in May and
June.
Hand picking of the weevils can be
facilitated by the use of bags attach
ed to barrel hoops. This bag should
be about 20 inches in diameter at the
top, and smaller at the bottom. The
cloth used should be unbleached sheet
ing, drilling or duck.
In using the hoop and sack outfit,
the hoop can be grasped in the hand
and held on the ground close to the
base of the plant. Then the plant
should be bent forward into the open
mouth of the sack, and shaken vigor
ously so as to make the weevils fall off
into the bag.
The first picking of weevils should
be made at the time the first squares
appear, the second picking about ten
days after the first bloom appears, and
thereafter every five or six days
Farmers should practice rapid and
shallow cultivation of their cotton,
and continue this cultivation until the
cotton is ready to pick. Cultivation
should be about one and one-half
inches below the surface Of the soil.
1t is well to arrange to pillow at least
once a week where possible, and the
cotton should be made to put on a
good crop of hollis just as quickly as
can be done. These methods will
prove of material value in the making
of fair crop even under boil weevil
conditions.

Atlanta, Especial Just be-
cause the Mexican cotton boil weevil
has been somewhat inactive during
the spring months, due almost entirely
to dry weather conditions, is no rea-
son to believe it will not show up in
large numbers in many, if not all, of
the counties where it was found last
year
The boil weevil was actually found
last fall, live and active, in about for
ty Georgia counties, according to the
records of the State Board of Ento-
mology. This spring, department in
spectors have made careful search in
practically every county, for the re-
appearance of the insect, and the last
of May found it for the first time in
large numbers.
Since the recent rains the weevil is
coming out much more rapidly, and
inspections in Decatur county at the
end of May showed them to be quite
abundant. Unconfirmed reports are
coming in, Of the presence Of the wee
vii in many other counties where it
was found last fall, and these are be-
ing investigated.
cowpea Weevii Caused Alarm.
Considerable alarm has been caus-
ed in some of the counties where the
boil weevil was found last year, over
the discovery of the cowpea pod wee
vii in cotton planted after cowpeas.
This insect feeds on the cotton plant,
but is rarely sufficiently abundant to
do serious damage. This is a small,
snout beetle, and while it has slight
resemblance to the boil weevil, it is
very much darker in color, and varies
in shape as well as habits.
Technically it is quite different, and
is very easily distinguished from the
boil weevil.
Nevertheless, the board advises
farmers to send all insects which they
suspect are boil weevils, direct to the
department for examination.
The department has recently issued
q bulletin on the Mexican Cotton boil
weevil, which contains all information
needed with regard to its life history,
habits and methods of control 1t has
also issued circular on the varieties
of cotton to be planted for boil weevil
conditions, Both Of these publications
will be sent to anyone desiring them,
upon request.
ENanaina EiAIIe H1paF,tIIN
The Board advises farmers in all
counties where the weevil has been
found, to examine their fields very
carefully for the weevil, says State
Entomologist E. Lee Worsham. They
should closely examine the young, ten

rRArERNAL ORGANIZATION.


From the Dover State News
II is TO be hoped that the next ses'
sion Of the Delaware Legislature will
witness the enactment of laws to reg
ulate the Fraternal Organizations Of
this State. and which will enable the
Insurance Department of the State to
correct some of the existing evils to
regards to such organizations. 1t has
been pointed out in news article
during the past week, and which is
published elsewhere in this issue OF
the State News. that there are num-
ber OF Fraternal Organizations in Del
aware which are not in as sound fl
nancial condition as they should be.
II is pointed out that some of these
orders are bng run solely for the
benefit of their officers, rather than for
the common benefit of the members
and certificate holders as originally
intended The existing laws do not
compel these organizations to carry a
reserve fund and it has been ascer-
tanned by the Insurance Department
that many of them are not accumulat-
ing any When some of these com
panies were first organized their nom
bers were composed of young mer
and the mortality assessments were
very low. but as they grow older the
death rate increases and as there Is
no reserve fund to pay them 1t Il
only natural that the assessments
should be increased
In many instances these assess
men.s have become so high that th'
older members. some of whom have
been paying into the order to which
they belonged for twenty years ant
more, are compelled to withdraw
and number Of the organizations
have been compelled to suspend OF
this account. this causing a total loss
to the members, and causing man,
aged men to be without protection fol
their families.
This is serious state OF affairs
and all good citizens of Delawar'
should cooperate with the lnsuranc
Department i'm an effort to have tn
Delaware General Assembly pas
more stringent Insurance and Fra
ternal laws at the session next yeai
in order that the Insurance Commls
