NEW STATIONS IN
 WEEV|L INFESTED
 AREA ARE OPENED
Reports Indicate Unusually Severe Infestation In All Sections of the
 Cotton Belt
By Associated Press

Washington, July 20.-The rapid expansion of weevil posionine throughout the southern states has made necessary the establishment oi number of new field stations by the department of agriculture throughout the weevi1-infested ter ritory, it was announced today. The stations co far are as follows: Fairfax, S. c. Waynesboro, Ga. Americus. Ga.; Demopolis, Ala. Tuscaloosa Ala; Brookhayen, Miss Victoria, Texas; Denton, Texas; Tay- Tor, Texas and San Benito, Texas.
 Two or more men are located al each station, the announcement said one engaged in research work and the other surveying weevil and cot ton conditions throughout the sur rounding district. Every assistance Is given farmers who are poisoning weevils and the department intends to try to reach every farmer en- gagged in the work. A number of men are assigned to districts not acces- sible to the established station. The delta laboratory of the department of agriculture at Tallulah, La, is directing the work of assisting cot ton farmers in the work of weevil extermination.
 Unusually Numerous
 Reports from practically all DOT tions of the cotton belt indicate there is an ususually severe boil weevil 'Tnfestation this year in nearly all sections of the south, according to the department of agriculture. From series of surveys made by the de- partment's laboratory at Tallulah, La, during the last seven years, 1t has been determined that the infecta- ton this year is the heaviest which has been experienced in any of the seasons except that of 1916, and is very nearly as heavy as it was that year.
 The surveys, made from 1915 to 1921 inclusive, were on 12 plantations in Madison parish Louisiana, the same points being taken each year and something over 2oo,oo0s plants examined annually usually during the first week in June. From these eX- pectations, the number of weevils are noted and the ratio of cotton plants per weevil computed. The number of plants per weevil during the observations were 1915, TIT; 19l6, 100; 1917, 5,525; 1918, Al; 1919, 245; 1920, 221; 1921, 152. The observa- tions, the department says, afford a fair degree of comparison of the infestations developing each season.
 These comments, of course" says the department, apply only to the infestation of hibernated weevils. and this infection does not necessarily determine the degree of damage which will be experienced through out the season because weather con ditions may operate to off set this heavy initial infestation and thus re- duce the damage later. However, 1t simply means this: If the injury by the weevil is to be no more than normal, the weather must be abnor- mally unfavorable to the cotton plant. Thus the chances are against the farmer at the outset"
