The adult boil weevil is about one
fourth of an inch long, varying from
Ione-eighth to one-third of an inch,
with breadth about one-third OF the
length. This measurement includes
the snout, which is approximately half
the length of the body. Variation in
size is due to the amount of food the
insect has obtained in the larva stage.

individuals are light yellowish in col

Hundreds Of species of weevils in
this country may be easily mistaken

reports about the occurrence of wee

REQUEST FROM INDIA

SAVANNAH, Ga.-This mornings
mail brought to Thomas Gamble re-
quest from the chief conservator of

quantities Of the seed OF the slash pine

the chief conservator said:
II wish to try these species OF pines

Attention in the naval stores indus
try OF the south is now largely CEN
tering on the slash pine as the COM
ing great source of turpentine and
sins. Government Investigations
have shown conclusively that for
quick and profitable results the slash
pine exceeds all other pines. 1t has a
rapid growth, is free yielder OF gum
or oleoresin, and is prolific seeder,
and with a little protection does its
own reforestation satisfactorily.
In fifteen to eighteen years the slash
pine becomes a naval stores producer
so that land companies and individuals
going in for reforestation projects on
a large scale do not have to look for
ward to thirty or forty years of pa
tient waiting before they can begin to
gather crop. 1t is the impression
that reforestation methods in Georgia
and Florida, particularly, will have the
slash pine as the mainstay.
India has been producer of naval
stores for number of years, and there
seems to be an ardent desire there now
to expand the operations. The pine
