Of wintering is of interest. When full
grown the larvae work their way into
the ground to a depth ranging from
q quarter of an inch to an inch and Il
quarter. In the spring the worms ap-
pear, work their havoc and, after a
brief while, re-enter the earth. They
remain in the cocoon state for several
weeks, at the conclusion of which they
emerge as moths, which, in their turn,
lay eggs and start again the evolu-
tional life Of the army worm. In the
period of It's active career the army
worm can do a deal of damage, and to
eradicate the pest 1t is essential to kill
the parent moths as well us to destroy
the worms themselves.
Luckily, the army worm has some
natural enemies, and among these the
sparrow is probably the most effective
because of It's numbers. The bluejay
comes next, and then follow the tachina
fly and a certain variety of beetle.
These foes will not suffice to keep the
army worm within bounds when their
name is legion, and 1t Is needful then
to resort to man-made eXpedepts.
Trenching the fields, n generous use
of kerosene and ample spreading of
arsenical powders will aid in crisis,
but clean cultural methods will do
much more toward eradicating the
hibernating or slumbering pests This,
Is to say, keep the edges Of the fields
and the hedges of the gardens free
| from long grass and weeds, where the
larvae lurk; fall plowing will kill
those that have already entered the
ground for wintering. OF course these
efforts will not avail If the parent
| moths come from the South in the
| springtime. We cannot expect to des
tect the eggs and to destroy them be-
fore the worms are hatched ont.
Just when the spindles Of the world
are preparing to resume their prewar
activities. just when so many Of the
nations are anxious to obtain more cot
ton fabrics, comes the unwelcome news
| that the cotton boil weevil is up and
doing with increased energy. Again
we have the past mild winter to thank
in large part for this disturbing state
of affairs, a very considerable per-
centage of the alternating weevils
having survived when with colder
weather they would have been in great
measure eXterminated.
The experts tell us that the boil
weevil in single year may occasion
cotton loss of more than 100000
bales, and at prewar prices this would
represent a money sacrifice of quite
$25, 100000. Today, at the present
price of cotton, the toll levied by these
insects would be equivalent to fully
$70O00,000. No wonder the United
States department of agriculture has
pronounced the boil weevil to be the
worst cotton pest in this country and,
probably, the most destructive cotton
insect in the world. This ravaging
creature apparently will not feed upon
any other plant-it just insists upon
eating the precious cotton boil.
Like many others of the consplcu-
ously Injurious insects present in this
country, the cotton boil weevil is not
a native of the United States. Its
place Of origin, 80 the entomologists
The Jasper news., 1919-09-11

declare, was beyond question in the
high plateau region of Mexico or Cen
tral America. The records indicate
that the insect in all likelihood oc-
casioned the abandonment of cotton
growing in parts of Mexico and Gen.
trail America.
Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevll has
extended its range from 40 to 20 miles,
having made its first appearance near
Brownsville, Texas, In 1892. During
the first ten years after its advent into
this country the annual rate Of spread
was 5,640 square miles. Since 1901
the annual infested territory has aver
aged 26,SS0 square miles. In 1904, an
exceptional season. 81 500 square miles
became infested.
The weevil has periodic thirst and
apparently there Is just one liquid that
appeals overwhelmingly to Its palate.
On the underside of cotton leaves, on
the mldrib, or principal vein, and some
times on two other veins, can be found
little elongated depression which
usually looks sticky and frequently
holds a drop of liquid. On the outside
of the squares at the base of each
bract or leaflet are other little cups,
and between the bract and the bud
itself are three more cups. At the
bottom of the flower cup still more of
these tiny vessels are found. They
are called nectar cups because they
exude d sweet liquid. This is the tip
pie that the boil weevil is drawn to.
The adult boil weevil Is about one
| fourth of an inch In length, but Its
size depends upon the amount of food
that 1t contains while In the larvae
stage The boil weevil passes the win
ter in the adult condition. In the
spring and throughout the fruiting
season of cotton the eggs are deposited
| by the females In cavities formed by
eating into the fruit of the plant. An
egg matches under normal conditions
in about three days and the grub i'm
mediately begins to feed. In from
seven to twelve days the grub passes
into its pupal stage, corresponding to
/ TIE COCOOn VI
This stage lasts from three to FIVE
days. Then the adult issues and In
about five days begins the production
of another generation. Males and
females are produced In about equal
numbers. The males feed upon the
squares and the bolls without moving
until the food begins to deterlorate.
The females refrain from deposIting
eggs In squares visited by other
females. AS many as fifteen larvae
have been found in a single boil.
A conservative estimate of the
progeny of single pair of weevils
during season, beginning on June 20
and extending to November A. is 12,-
755 100!
Government authorities have shown
that the boil weevll can be held greatly
in check by proper cultural processes
and also by the use of insecticides
which can be sprayed upon the plants
at certain stages of their growth. BY
the latter process. the weevil's drink
can be poisoned. and as II slakes its
thirst at least once every day its
doom can be sealed,

s'Y7 VETERAN
OF GREAT WAR
TELLS OF THE
= EXCITEMENT

Rev. Tom Huxley delivered a mag
nificent address on the great war at
- Y. NJ. C. A. at 3 O'Clock Sunday af-
lenoon to an Interested and appre-
fciative audience. n every man. woman
and child In Canon City could have
heard his masterfni discourse on his
experiences as religious and canteen
secretary at the front 1t would have
ended forever the criticism OF the work
of the Y NJ. G. A. In France and in
Belgium. so far as this community is
concerned.
For six months Rev. Huxley was ON
the fighting front. mfnistering to the
comfort and welfare OF the boys In
every possible way. often working from

front during the ciosing days Of the
war and his opportunities for observ-
alton. both In relation 20 military
movements and the Y. n. c. A. aetiv-
tiles. were OF an exceptionally helpful
and valuable character.
Many OF the criticisms OF the work
of the -Y- overseas. according to Re..
Huxley. arose from a misuuderstand.
ing of the situation. The matter of
over-charges. he said. was grossly ex-
aggerased and only occurred as a mat
ter OF error and mistake. In some in-
stances confusion was made because
of the system of money in use ''over
there" The difference In the value
of the. French centime and the Amer
tcan cent often led to a misunderstand
ing and trouble. Sometimes a soldier
boy thought he wss paying Is cents
for a package OF cigarettes. when. in
reality. he was only paying rs centimes

times led TO reports OF oycr-charges by
