ORIGIN AND HABITS OF BOIL WEEVZL
History Rags Spread the Pest Review Of Damage Due fea
ton Report Methods of Control Some Other Facts
UNITED STATE OF AoRIcUL
(PREPARED BY

The cotton boil weevil is not ma
tive of the United States. Its first
home was undoubtedly in the plateau
region of Mexico or Central America.
Previous to 1892 the insect had spread
through much of Mexico, but little is
known regarding the extent or rapidi-
ty of this dispersion. The records in
dictate, however, that it probably had
caused the abandonment of cotton in
certain regions. About 1892 the boil
weevil crossed the Rio Grande near
Brownsville, Texas. 1t may have
flown across or it is possible that it
was carried over in seed cotton to be
ginned at Brownsville. By 1894 it had
spread to half adozen counties in
southern Texas. A preliminary exani-
nation, made during that season un-
der the direction of DIR. L. 0. How
ard, chief OF the then division of en-
tomology, by Mr.. c. H. I. Townsend,
showed the enormous capacity of the
pest to do damage. Subsequent events
have verified in every way the predic-
tions 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 100 miles,

passes onward. This impression, how
ever, is not substantiated by facts. 1t
is true that when weevils first invade
a. community there is nearly always
more or less panic and decided ten
dency to blame the weevil invasion for
all short crops of cotton regardless of
the real causes. Furthermore, the sue
cessful production of cotton in the
presence of weevils requires somewhat
different methods from those practiced
before the advent Of the weevil. and
it usually takes the farmers two or
three years to learn and adopt these
methods. After few years the farm-
ers become accustomed to the weevil
injury, learn to distinguish between
loss due to the weevil and that attrib-
utable to other causes, and are able
to reduce weevil injury somewhat by
proper farming practices. The first
fear has been overcome, and compare
lively little is said ON the subject.
Farmers in the eastern portion OF the
cotton belt even express the idea that
the weevil is no longer doing any
damage in Texas Yet the cotton

REPORT SHOWS 115,473 FARMS

According to the last United States
census report there were 3l0,73Z
farms in Georgia. OF this number
less than one farm out of FIVE have
any beef cattle on them. Less than
one farm out of every three have any
dairy cattle on them. There were hogs
on only 81.4 per cent of the farms. Oh
sows and gifts six months old or over
there were less than one for each two
farms. There were more than 10 per
cent of the number of farms in Geor-
gia without poultry OF any descrip-
ton on them.
Surprising Figures.
According to these figures, there
were lis, 473 farms in Georgia without
milk cows or heifers above two years
old on them. There were 1S5,42l
farms without brood sows or gifts;
32,291 farms were without poultry.
Surely there can be no average salts

Georgia as long as one out OF three
farms has no possibility of milk, more
than one-half of the farms are with
