declare, was beyond question in the
high plateau region of Mexico or Cen
trail America. The records indicate
that the insect in all likelihood oc-
casiOned the abandonment Of cotton
growing in parts of Mexico and Gen.
tral America.
Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevil has
extended it's 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 5,64O square miles. Since 1911
the annual infested territory has aver
aged 26,88O square miles. In 1904, an
exceptional season, 81, 800 square miles
became infested.
The weevil has periodic thirst and
apparently there is just one liquid that
appeals overwhelmingly to it's palate.
On the underside of cotton leaves, on
the midrib, or principal vein, and some
times on two other veins, can be found
a 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 leafiet 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 a 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 it 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 it's pupal stage, corresponding to
the cocoon OI UullCluICS duu LHOIHSs
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 deteriorate.
The females refrain from depositing
eggs in squares visited by other
females. AS many as fifteen larvae
have been found in single boil.
A conservative estimate Of the
progeny of a single pair of weevils
during a season, beginning on June 20
and extending to November 4, is 12,-
755, 100!
Government authorities have shown
that the boil weevil 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 it slakes It's
thirst at least once every day its
doom can be sealed.
