of attack on the cotton plant, it is

Immediately before it reache the
main cotton growing sections of this
and other states. The following article
will also answer many of the ques-
lions which the people have asked
concerning the Pink Bollworm and

hibernates in the adult state as the
weevil and not as the larva. The Pink
Bollworm if allowed to remain in the
lock will form the double seed and
remain there until spring. When the
warm weather begins it bores the exit
hole and pupates and in few days
the moth energies.
Work of the Pink 5olIworm.
The work of the worm is very char
acteristic. Unlike the boil weevil lar.
va, which makes very messy discol'
grafton within the boil, the Pink Boil
worm is very Clearly in it's methods
of work. AS already mentioned the
holes both in the partition and the
outside walls are very clean-cut, us.
ually circular and without markings
or discoloration such as the boil weev-
Ill and the cotton boil worm make
The holes made by the weevil and the
cotton bollworm are very much larger
and not clean-cut and invariably are
dark brownand sometimes black just
on the inside of the wall. The lint of
boil Whic hhas been attacked by
weevil is usually discolored to a great
extent, whereas the lint of boil at
tackled by Pink Bollworm, although
little discolored after the worm has
remained in it for some time is not
as much so. The damage done to the
cotton boil by this worm depends up
on the number of worms in the boil
and the size of the boil when it is at
tackled If the boil is small when at
tackled the growth is hampered and
the boil may become dry and hard
and turn red in color or part of the
boil may open but the parat attacked
will crumple and dry up. Sometimes
the young bolls fall to the ground. If
the bolls are attacked after they have
reached their full growth the damage
to the lint of course is not as great
and the seed will show the result of
the attack. It should be understood,
however, that both the seed and the
lint are damaged b ythe Pink Boil
worm.
Some have asked il the Pink Boil
worm could not be poisoned by chemi-
Gals such as ere being used to poison
the boil weevil. Due to the fact that
the Pink Bollworm in the larva or
worm state is an inside feeder and
never feeds On the outside of the boil,
| it would not be practical to try the
poison methods. The young larva
have been found on few occasions
to fed on the pistils and stems of the
cotton flower but this is not the case
of the majority of the worms.

worm in this section has been con-
fused with the Pink Bollworm, due to
the pinkish coloring. This scavenger
worm is quite different from the Pink

its manner of work. In the first place

area for cotton seed and lint. The
cotton seed if in small quantities is
! being burned on the spot and the
premises cleaned. If the farmers have
a large lot of seed on hand which is
worth while to handle it is taken up
by the State agents and shipped to
Lake Charles to be fumigated. All
cars in which the seed is shipped are
being fumigated Alison. Whether or
not the seed is burned or shipped to
Lake Charles the farmers get a re-
ceipt showing the number of pounds
OF seed, etc. On the face of this re.
ceipt the statement is made that the
party holding the receipt will receive
compensation at the rate of $4,000 per
ton just as soon as the State Legis-
lature appropriates the money for
: same.
