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 Cen
trail America
Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevil has
extended its range from 40 to 10 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 weevl has periodic thirst and
apparently there is Just one liquid that
appeals overwhelmingly to its palate.
On the underside of cotton leaves, on
the midrib, or principal vein. and some
times on two other veins, can be found
little elongated depression which
, usually looks sticky and frequently
holds 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 a sweet liquid. This is the tip
pie that the boil weevil Is drawn to.
The adult boil weevl Is about one
| fourth of an inch in length, but its
size depends upon the amount of food
that ii 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
F., nv 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
the cocoon of butterflies and moths
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 depositinc
eggs in squares visited by Other
females. AS many as fifteen larvae
have been found In a single boil.
A conservative estimate of the
proreny of single pair of weevil,
during n season. beginning on June q
and extending to November 4. Is 12.

grown the larvae work their way into
the ground to q depth ranging from
a quarter of an inch to an inch and u

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 its active career the army
worm can do deal of damage, and to
eradicate the pest it is essential to Kill
the parent moths as well as 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 its numbers. The bluejay
