The problem of bo] weevil control becomes more seriou the specialists say, as the pest coi tinues its invasion of the cotton bel Eastern planters must expect a moi serious problem than that which coi fronted the farmers of Texas b cause the humid conditions; in tl east are more favorable to the lil of the weevils. Better means of coi trol must be devised for 1;he regie that is becoming invaded, and, possible, other means must be devt oped to Reduce the enormous lo that is suffered, especially durii unfavorable seasons, in Texas. Tl ' principal work of the Bu reau of E jj tomology at this time is in attemp 3 ing to devise means for this requisi | additional control. | Much has ben learned about tl j habits of the boll weevil.

Machines employing suction ai jarring devices designed to pick we vils and infested squares or to sha the weevils to the ground have pi ed injurious to the plants and are n sufficiently effective to pay for t cost of operation. Mechanical i genuity is needed, however, the si cialists point out, especially in c veloping effective machinery for a ing in the destruction of weevils the fall and also for a better cul vatic n of the crop, i In discussing the extent of t { damage boll weevils now cause to t I cotton industry, the writer of t a Iaoo qf Ann n .

Althou 2 farmers in older regions, in ma 1 cases, are increasing their prodi J tion, there is loss in the newly-infe 1 ed regions which offsets that ga: 2 A conservative estimate shows tli J since the weevil has invaded tl 2 country it has caused a loss of 4,55' 1 000 bales of cotton, with a value J about $250,000,000. y I The figures which have been cit 'show clearly the enormous redi ition in cotton production which t 2: boll weevil causes.

This is shown, f | instance, in the State of Mississip; f For the years preceding the adve of the boll weevil, namely 1904-19 J the average valueof all crops w 1 $116,738,104. For the boll-wee 1 years, 190y-iyi3, tne average w | $132,031,800. The loss in cott |j production was more than offset the increased planting in corn, f< 9 age, and other crops. 3 The buletin mentioned alw j which will be sent to anyone on i fj quest, contains a general account y the boll-weevil problem.
