P. lonradi, of the State Crop PeaC Comusrion. There seems to be some misundertanding in reference to the quaranine on cotton seed hulls. The boll reevil settles down to Winter quarsrs after the first killing frost, bat -J [lis quarantine the Commission is arced to be guided by the conditions f the weevil and not by the pccuj?ance of i the first killing froat. The oil wevil\line on this date (Nov. 21, 1 919) runs through. Anderson, Lau- ^ ans, Chesterfield and CBeraw. The regulations ofthe State Crop est Commission provide that the uarantine on hulls be raised on ecember 31st. For several years ast the Commission wabj generally ble, owing to weevil conditions, to aitfe this quarantine at a much arlier date, though last fall it was ot' possible to raise it before Decern- ej 31st., and ' for" some time it apeared thafr it would not W poeaible } raise it even as uus time. The weevil at this time is getting own to winter quarters, bat weevil vtivity has not yet stopped. As soon s this has been completed, the qtjarntine *>n hulls will be raised, and 'rlj otificatton will be sent at once ihrbugh the press.
