will survive the winter. In in-
tested fields ii is common 10 find
weeyils at the rate of 5000 to
5000 per acre at the time of first

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 in late
fall must be prevented as the first
step 10 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 otthe weeyils, survived the
winter. whereas, destruction Of
stalks on October d allowed Is
per cent to survive; NoN.25. %

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.
The planting of a winter cover
crop in the present cotton fields
is also urged as a most important
means of, weevil destruction,
since weevils cannotlive through
the winter in a growing cover
crop. such. as rye. Oats. aud yetch,
or clover, tor the reason that IN
