Egypt irrigation is OF the utmost i'm
portance, and the water for this pur-

the water level of Lake Albert and the
White Nile, where Egypt gets so per
cen, OF its irrigation water, is abnorm-

lowest record: this year It promises
TO be lower. The Blue Nile, another
contributor, also is very low this spring

As a result the distribution OF water

tinue their development at very low
rate and finally emerge as adults.
Thus there may be somewhat contin-
uous productions of adults during the
winter. Ordinarily, however, this is
not the case, since the frosts that
destroy the cotton generally kill prac-
tically all of the immature stages of
the weevil
How Nature Assists in Destroying the
Boil Weevil.
Although the possible production of
offspring in a single season by one
pair of boil weevils has been estimat-
ed at 12,755,100, nature has provided
several means of preventing such ex-
cessive multiplication. The most con-
spicuouS of these are the heat and
insects that prey upon the weevil.

stances the winter conditions have
caused a decrease in the infested area.
During the first ten years Of its
advent into this country, the annual
rate of spread of the weevil was $40
square miles. 1901 to 1911 the annual
increase in the infested territory av-
eraged 26,SS0 square miles. In 1916
it reached 1880 square miles. OF
course, the figures given do not re-
fer to the area in cotton. In many
parts of the infested territory the area
devoted to cotton is much less than
ten per cent. of the total area.
The territory In the United States
in which the boil weevil occurred at
the end of the year 1921, was over
100000 square miles of territory,
leaving only about 100000 square
miles of cotton producing territory
uninfested Practically eighty-five per
cent. of the cotton belt is now infested
by the boil weevil, and the area now
infested produces 94.6 per cent. of the
cotton crop of the cotton belt of the
United States.
A form of the boil weevil is found
IN the mountains of Arizona, feeding
upon a wild plant related to cotton
This variety has been under observa-
ton for a number of years and finally
was noted in 1920 attacking cultivated
cotton north of Tucson, Ariz. between

story of The Boil Weevil.

The cotton boil weevil is not ma
tive of the United States. It's first
home was undoubtedly in the plateau
region of Mexico OF Central America.
Previous to 1892 the insect has spread
through much of Mexico, but little is
known regarding the extent or rapid
ity of this dispersion. The records in
dicate, however, that it probably had
caused the abandonment of cotton in
certain regions. About 1892 the boil
weevil crossed the Rio Grande near
Brownsville, Tex. 1t may have flown
across or it is possible that it was
carried across in seed cotton to be
ginned at Brownsville. By 1894 it
had spread to half a dozen counties
in Southern Texas.
A preliminary examination, made
during that season under the direction
of DR.. L. o. Howard, chief of the then
Division of Entomology, by Mr.. c. H.
T. Townsend, showed the enormous
capacity of the pest to do damage.
Subsequent events have verified in
every way the predictions that were
made at that time, when the insect had
not attracted much attention in the
South. Since 1894, the boil weevil has
extended its range annually from 40
to 160 miles, although in several in
