With the advent Of cool weather. T.
the fall, usually in October and NJ
VemDer, boil weevils begin to seeI
protection against the winter. Th
majority of the weevils leave tn
lleids and fly to the nearest shelte
which may be adjoining timber, grass
turnrows or buildings. The direction
i OF their flight Is governed PARTIAL,
by the prevailing winds. The move
ment takes place when an ayera o.
temperature of 90 degrees is reached
The movement into winter quarter,
Is not sudden and many weevils ma,

have left. In some casae 1t has beei
observed that more than a Thousand
weev1ls have been found in fields a.
late as December 18.
The most favorable p:aces for win
telling are those in which there are th,
most even temperatures and wher.
at the same time the conditions are
comparatively dry. Spanish mos,
probably is the most favorable sheI
Ter Weevils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside Of the region ir
which Spanish moss occurs. in grass
stumps, cracks in the ground and
similar places. Very few are evel
found in cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils take
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden 6ut
sometimes during very warm spells
a few in the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter in
the adult stage. When frosrs occur
immature stages still may be found
in the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply is sufficient many OF
these immature stages continue their
development at very slow rate and
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus.
there may be somewhat continuous
production of adults during the win.
ter. Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since the frOsts that de-
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs.
The number Of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser.
vations made at many localities for
number Of years In one year only
one weevil out Of hundred survived,
but, in another case, twenty out of
each hundred lived through. The lat.
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and it appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater

five weevilH out of hundred lived
