Boil Weevil As
Threat May Be
Worse This Year

Although the boil weevil infesta-
ton in Mississippi at this time is
not as high as in l945. the State
Plant Board warns that the crop
is generally much later and heavy
damage can occur if July and Au-
gust are rainy. Inspectors of the
Board and Federal entomologists
examined ITO fields in 80 counties
during the past week finding wee
wills in 81 fields with an average
of 1872 weevils per acre on the in
tested farms. Only one county in
the southern half of the state,
Wayne, was included in the r.pt TT
and Clay Lyle, entomologist of the
Board, stated that the average
would probably have been consider
ably higher if more reports had
been received from that section.
The highest infestation reported
was 1900 Weevils per acre in Lee
county near Tupelo where 6 farms
examined all had weevils. Even two
out of three farms in Alcorn coun-
ty on the Tennessee line had
weevils, which is unusual for that
section SO early in the season, ac-
cording to DR.. Lyle.
Tarnished plant bugs and other
related insects which blast squares
were reported in larger numbers
in the Delta than at this time last
