WEEVIL AND THE WEATHER
Open Conditions This Fall Have Been
Favorable.

So far the weather conditions this
fall have been rather favorable for the
boil weevils preparation for the winter
says Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist
at Clemson. These pests may be found
now in both the full grown and the
kicker stages in and about old cotton
bolls. The farmer in planning his
programme for next year should care
fully consider the weather conditions
on account of it's great influence on
'weevil activity the following season.
70 those who follow this pest care
felly it is quite apparent that, should
we have a repetition of the warm
winter like that of 1921, the weevil
damage may be expected to be severe
next year over the greater portion of
the state. On the other hand should
next winter be severe one, the weevil
may receive a considerable backset,
especially where a severe winter is
followed by dry weather in. June and
July.
weevil can not be forecast at this
time, but everyone knows that the
more protection the greater will be
the number of wcevils that survive
the winter successfully. Farmers will

on the fields should consider what a
great enemy they are harboring ana
what destructive nuisance they arc
maintaining in their community.
Owing to the open weather the oppor-
tunitics for this fight are still excel

munity should exert every influence
possible to get every cotton stalk des-
troyed by chopping and plowing under
