tested fields il is common to find
weeyils at the rate of 5000 to

Prof. Conradi explains. that the

SURVIVE the winter, as they are
not worn out by long flights and
the rearing OF young, as are the
older weevils. For this reason
development of weeyils id late
fall must be prevented as the first
step IN making the next crop.
An interesting point in this con-
+nection, is the fact that expert
ments in Louisiana showed that
when cotton stalks were destroy
ed before October Is. only 8 per
cent otlthe weeSas. survived the
winter. whereas, destruction of
stalks ou October d allowed Is
per cent to survive: NoN..25. 22

tween Dec. Is and Jan. IS, 43 per
per cent. 1t is clear, therefore,
that the earlier the. stalks are de.
stroyed, the more effective the
results will be, but that. where
early destruction IS impossible, il
is better late than never. ~
i The planting of a winter cover
crop in the present cotton fields
is also urged as a most important
means of weevil . destruction,
since weevilscannotlive through
