search Of fresh pastures. In an or
dinary season this means that you US
,a1,v have only the weevils bred in
yonr own cotton to contend with until
some time from the latter part OF
July to the last of August, Depending
on the locality. This year, however,
this movement of migration Of weeVlls

not only be necessary for you TO starr
noisoning earlier to control your own
infestaton, but you should also ex-
meet that, before you have had time
n mature the fruit which your plants
have set during this period of protec-
ton, you will begin to experience al
immigration of weevils from unpoas-
oned cotton. Of course, this condition
vould not arise if every one in a dis
trict was successfully poisoning MS
cotton: but this will not be the case
this year, and just as soon as al
suuares in the imprisoned crops are
punctured the migration to the pols-
oned fields will commence. Inls
means that every day large crop OF
new weevils will move into these pols-
.oned fields, and it is going to take
continuous, thorough poisoning to pro-
tect to maturity the crop which has
been allowed to set by the earlier ap-
plications.
These two facts mean just this:
Successful weevil control this year is
going to require more effort and more
noison per acre than has ever been the
case in the past. On the other hand
where the land is sufficiently fertile
to Justify such an effort, there is
much more assurance of profit from
the operation than is usually the case
The increase in the cost per acre
brought about by the increased num-
ber of applications necessary will be
far more than compensated for by the
fact that the weevil damage without
poisoning will be far greater than nor
NAL, and thus the margin OF profit or
the operation is tremendously in
creased. In other words, a heavy
weevil infestation such as we have
this year means a greater expenditure
per acre for poisoning to successfully
control it, but it also means greater

UNUSUAL ABUNDANCE OF
ROLL WEEyILS THIS SPRING

By B. r. Coad and G.. A. Maloney-
For the past few weeks we nave
haen accunulating records on the
holl weevil for nearly all OF the COT
+on states and are finding universally
&C ve forecasted some months ago,
that the number Of over-"ln' ereo
weevils is far greater than usual; In
fact. in many Districts where accurate
counts have been made it has been
fo,nd that we have in the fields now
as many weevils as are ordinarily
nresent a. month later when the 1lrs1
s,mmer-bred brood has started to ap-
near, With anything like normal
weather conditions this is going to
mean a. tremendously rapid increase
in the weevil damae, and this VIII
have an important bearing on. the
program to be followed by those US
Ing arsenate for the control OF the
weevil. III
In the first place it should be re-
nembered that we recommend start
ing poisoning when from ten to Ill
teen per cent Of the cotton squares
have been punctured by the weevil.
As a general rule this condition does
NOT arise until after the newly bred
weevils have started to emerge from
the SQUARES. This year, however, we
have found many fields where there
are already sufficient weevils present
to destroy practically all squares as
fast as formed. In other words, such
cotton will never start blooming un-
less the weevils are controlled, ana
from the very outset so per cent. OF
more of the squares are punctured'
Under such conditions it is undoubt-
edly going to be necessary to poison
earlier than ever before. OF course:
there is no advantage in poisoning the
cotton DelOTS llle SQOdiSS AO1A A"'
the weevils are continuing to emerge
from Information during this perloc
and furthermore they are doing the
crop no harm. However, where such
a. heavy infestation occurs it will be
advisable to make the first APPLICATION
lust as soon as the cotton starts squar-
ing freely, or about the, time the
plants average from to 5 squares
each. The regular poisoning sched-
ule should be started at that time and
continued along the lines of the usual
recommendation for controlling this
early infestation Of weevils.
Another very inaprtant effect Of thi:
heavy infestation will be felt la+er in
the season. When the weevils first
emerge from Information and reach
the cotton field they move around
very little as long as they can fine
an ample supply Of unpuncturet
squares for. their use, but just as soo1
as the infestation becomes sufficient!

With the season Of chilly mornings

at 1890 o'clock Monday morning TO
review Washingtons coal situation
as it now stands
If the anthracite operators prove
correct In their estimate of 3ls,3e8
tons of hard coal for washington
this winter, as compared with $780,
SO tons last year. it means that prac-
tically all householders will have TO
mix some soft coal with their anthra-
cite before spring comes again.
waiter {. Allen, executive secre-
tary of the commission, pointed out
today, however, that the rules laid
down by the commission will make
| 1T certain that all hard coal arriving
In the city will be distributed
equitably.
Under the regulations dealers can
| not give a householder more than a
thlrty-day supply Of hard coal In
large sizes or more than a sixty-day
supply Of pea coal.
1t is the hope of the commissi on
that every home In the city will have
| a months supply Of hard coal before

One prominent local dealer said to-
day that the operators probably will
