the severe freeze had killed all
weevils. He pulled some bark
from an old tree, found four boil
weevils, stiff, cold and apparent
ly dead. Much elated, he car
ried them to the house, put them
in a snuff box. placed them on
the hearth, and in a few minutes
they began to wriggle, and in a
few more minutes they were
ready to fly. He punctured the
box in several places with a nail,
set it out in the freeze for the
night on the north side of the
house, and on Wednesday morn

and Williams, visited his home,
the frozen weevils were again
placed near the fire and the
farmers waited. Much to their
surprise the weevils were ready
to fly in a few minutes. All of

cost him nothing but cutting,
