BOIL WEEvIL PROSPECTS FOR 1922

of Alabama.
The winter has been extremely mild
and large proportion OF weevils en-
tering Information appear to have
survived Recent examinations made
at Auburn show 10 per cent of living
weevils in the bolls OF standing cotton
stalks in this section. This is FIVE times
the average percentage OF survival
through this season of the year.
These records confirm observations
made by Mr.. B. R. Coad, OF the Tai
lulah, La, laboratory, showing that
in that section the survival IS about
times as heavy as it was in l9zO-zl.
We must therefore anticipate an ex-
ceptionally large number OF weevils 70
emerge early in the season OF W.,
and giving an unusually heavy initial
attack upon the small cotton plants.
Close watch should be kept and rec
ords made as to the number OF wee
wills per acre showing up on young
plants before squares begin to form.
A report to the entomologist at Au-
burn at that time will assist greatly
in giving us the basis for estimating
the probable attack through June,
July and August.
The rainfall occurring after cotton
begins to square governs directly the
proportion Of eggs producing adult
weevils. If it is very hot and dry the
heavy initial infestation may be over
come and the weevils controlled by
the heat and drought, especially where
a rainfall of not more than one-half
inch per week is experienced for tve
-. oft hPO1nS
square. On the contrary, if during this
period the rainfall amounts to more
or not more than one inch per week
very serious loss in the 1922 cotton
crop must be expected.

A new CORN PEST
INVADES COUNTRY
HAS MADE ITS APPEARANCE
IN SOUTHERN TEXAS. LARGE
NUMBERS ARE FOUND.

A comparatively new corn insect
that promises to become a serious
pest has made its appearance in south
ern Texas and New Mexico, accord
ing to reports to the bureau OF ento-
mology of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is a boring
caterpillar closely related to the larger
corn stalk borer of the South Atlantic
states, and has been identified by the
bureau as Diatraea Lineolata Walker.
At least two generations occur an
nual1y in the Big Bend region OF Tex
as and the full-grown caterpillars OF
the second generation hibernate in the
corn stubble underground. During
February many fields were found in
this region in which rs per cent OF
the corn stubble contained alternating
caterpi1lars. According to representa-
tives of the bureau who have investi-
gated the situation the distribution IS
very imperfectly known, but the pest
is believed to inhabit most of south
ern New Mexico, particularly the Pc
cos river valley, and is numerous in
southwestern Texas.
Apparently, it is said, the pest is
moving northward from Mexico,
where it was abundant and very in
furious last season. This species has
been known to be present in south
ern New Mexico since 1913, and was
studied in a preliminary way there by
a representative OF the bureau IN the
early spring OF 1919.

FAMOUS COWS ON
AUCTIONEER'S LIST
GREATEST PRODU CERS IN
THE COUNTRY ON SHOW
AT PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Sons and
daughters of some of the worlds
champion pure bred milk COWS will
parade before the auctioneer here to-
morrow in the Brentwood national
sale and show. A number of state blue
ribbon holders are also carded to go
under the hammer and the eyes of the
dairying industry in the United States
will be focused on the prices obtained
for a significant reason.
If the prices are good dairymen
claim it will place the stamp of APP
proval upon the effort to introduce
the pure bred into all the diaries Of
this country, while if the prices are
disappointing the same men admit 1t
will mean that their efforts to improve
the industry along these lines will have
received decided setback.
From the Pacific coast come a son
and daughter of the worlds champion
milk producer, Sergis Pietertje Pros
pect, whose record of $1,000 pounds
of milk in one year is one OF the Won
ders of the dairyiug industry. Lead
ing Canada's offering at the sale will
be the son of the worlds champion
butter producer of all ages and breeds,
Bella Pontiac, producer of 1857
pounds of butter in one year. Canada
also sends granddaughter of May
Echo Sylvia, the only COW in the
world to produce 1000 pounds of milk
in seven days, yielding Al pounds Of
butter.
There will be number OF cows
who have produced under official test
I'D to SO pounds of butter in seven
DAYS and up to 1900 pounds of but
ter in one year. Then there will also
be a number of sons and daughters OF
COWS with lesser yet enviable records,
made under official tests.
At the show valuable prizes will be
awarded the grand champion cow and
the runners-up to her. The show and
sale will last four days and 200 head
of the best breeding stock OF the Hol-
stein dairy cattle will go under the
hammer. These cattle come from nine
teen states and Canada and sixty-hve
of the leading establishments will be
represented by animals.
According to records of the United
States department OF agriculture there
are approximately 240O00OO head OF
dairy cattle in this country, OF which
only 100000 are pure bred, OF these
90 per cent are Holsteins. According
to the department records the aver
age dairy COW yields 100 pounds OF
butter fat and about 1000 pounds OF
milk year.
In more than a thousand tests UNI
der official supervision OF agricultural
colleges the pure-breds average more
than 500 pounds of butter fat and IL
900 pounds of milk, according to the
records of the Holstein- Rriesian Asso-
citation of America.
Leaders in the movement insist that
the only way improvement i'll the
milk and fat production can be work
ed is through infusion of pure blood
upon native stock.

PERUVIAN TRIBE
STAYS OLD FOLKS
RACE IN ANDES MOUNTAINS
LIMITS LENGTH OF LIFE. Elk
ECUTIONER APPOINTED.

High in the fastness Of the Andes
Mountains of Peru, South America,
there lives a race which sets an age
limit and kills off all its members who
reach the fateful mark, according to
DR.. Joseph Bancroft, British scientist
and author who headed an expedition
to Peru to study the Eject OF high al
titudes on the oxygen content OF the
blood.
The party spent virtually all its
time at Cerro de Pasco, a mining
town of 10000 inhabitants, 1920 feet
above the sea level. The Andes ma
tives studied by the party of ir1vesti-
gators are of Indian descent, possibly
from the Quichau Indians, according
to one of the scientists.
In each village" said DIR. Bancroft,
IAN official is appointed to terminate
the careers of persons who live too
long. Different communities, however,
seem to have different ideas as to
what limit should be placed on human
existence. In some places the only
duty Of the executioner appears to be
to insure the presence OF man at
his own funeral in the title role.
IF a person becomes so i'll that his
funeral becomes a certainty in the
near future date is fixed for the same,
and if the leading figure shows a dis
position to be unpunctual the village
executioner takes the matter in hand
Victims Willing to Be Meat.
"Not far from mine that yields q
great part of the worlds vanadium
there is. so we are told, settlement
of 'Cholos," the name by which the
natives are designated, who treat this
matter on purely economic and I'M
sentimental grounds. When one OF the
inhabitants becomes too old he IS eat
en- by the community. He even cheer
fully acquiesces in the procedure"
The natives live in adobe novels and
are said never to remove their cloth
ing. The household furnishings are so
meager that the housewife puts them
into sack and carries them with her
every time she goes shopping or Wis
iting. The natives are very shy and
appear to have no diversions aside
from chewing cocoa leaves.

By DR.. w. E. Kinds, State

The prospect for boil weevil damage
in 1922 depends especially upon three
sets of factors-the most important
of which are the following: First, eli
matte conditions, the supply of food
and breeding places of the weevil in
the fall of 1921; secondly, the minimum
winter TEN p eratures occurring
throughout the state in the winter of
1921-1922; thirdly, rainfall conditions,
particularly through the months OF
June, July and August, 1922 A study
of these factors and influential condl-
lions indicate an exceptionally heavy
weevil survival and initial attack up
on the cotton crop in 1922.
First, in the fall of 1921 after the
cotton crop was picked out practical
ly no killing frosts occurred through
the month Of October and cotton con-
tinued to live and grow throughout
the state November was the warmest
November recorded since 1909, killing
frosts occurred in very few scattering
places but were not general in any
section of the state. December was the
Warmest December recorded since the
weather bureau has been in service at
Auburn. Killing frost occurred in the
northern part of the state in some sec
tions about December 5th, but much
cotton remained green and maintained
weevils until January l, 1922. The
minimum temperatures for the win
ter occurred generally about January
End and destroyed all green cotton.
The fall conditions were, therefore,
extremely favorable for the survival
of weevils until very late date, when
breeding was stopped and the adult
weevils entered Information. This
heightened by six weeks or two
months the average hibernatin period.
