'V/jffl Some Facts Concerning the Boll Weevil Having made a brief study ol the cotton boll weevil while at the University of South Carolina the past year, I shall de scribe it briefly for the benefit of those who have not seen it and are continually mistaking various kinds of worms for this pest. There is no resemblance what ever between the worm and adult Boll Weevil. The Boll Weevil belongs to the beetlt family, or plainly speaking w< would call it a bug. The adul is about one-fourth of an inct long and one-eigth of an inct wide. Its color is dark browi and green changeable. Its bod^ is oval shaped. The two outei wings resemble those of the po tato beetle?being hard for th< purpose of protecting the deli cate inner wing, and stripei longitudinally. The head is round nearest the body but h prolonged into a long, flat "bill.' With this "bill" or snout th< weevil bores a hole in a cottoi square and lays an egg. Fron the egg. to the adult there an three stages. First, the larvi stage, which hatches from th< egg after three days. The wee vil at this period of growth ver slightly resembles a worm. I r .1 - r ? is auuui one iounn 01 an inci long, crescent shaped and of i grayish color. In from seven t< twelve days the larva change into the pupa or second stage The color is now a deep yellow Its length decreases to one-eigtl of an inch while its shape i oval. The pupa unlike the lar va is inactive. After remaining in this stage from 3 to 5 days the insect is changed into the adul Boll Weevil. The life histori from the egg to the adult beinj completed within a period o from 13 to 20 days. The Boll Weevil multipliei very rapidly. It has been esti mated that one pair from Mai 20th to November 4th ma> hatch 12,752,100 young. Since entering the United States a Texas in 1892 it has spread in i north eastward direction at the i ate of nearly 80 miles a year Last November it had reachec Georgia and is due to ente: South Carolina this tall.
