BOLL. WEEVILS WILL <
l " BE THICK IN 1922.
; (By B. R. Coad.)
Cotton farmers are now busy arguing
pro and son the advisability of
reducing or increasing the cotton
acreage for 1922, but in the numerous
arguments quoted we seldom see any
mention made of one of the most important
factors which should have a
very positive influence on the cotton
program for the coming season. This
is the prospect of boll weevil abundance.
For quite a number of years
the Delta Laboratory of the Bureau
of Entomology, U. S. Department of
Agriculture has been making a series
cf studies each season to serve as a
basis for predictions regarding the
. m m.l t.T ?/ ?n,?I ?-* n* Infnctl.lnn nf l.nll
' VVCIil/ VI illfe UL WUII
weevils. The records (or 1922 have
just been completed and for comparison
with these we have similar
records for the past eight years.
The number of boll weevils emerging
from hibernation each spring dei.ends
on two things; the number entering
hibernation in the fall and the
percentage of these surviving. Last
i:.ll the majority of the cotton belt
, saw conditions which permitted an
unusually large number of weevils to
enter hibernation. The winter
weather nas generally been abnori
mally mild to date and. the usual
period of severe weather has passed
although there is of course still a
i
bare chance of temperature low j
enough to influence weevil survival.
Because of this mild weather a high
rate of weevil survival was to be ex- !
; ' pected. Our recent records have
more than verified this expectation.
These records are made in a number
of different ways but the mcst comparable
criterion is the figure based
on the number of live weevils found
hibernating in Spanish moss in certain
S selected localities in Louisiana each
year. During the past few days we
have examined over 3600 pounds of
Spanish moss from 15 different selected
points repreesnting the different
types of hibernating conditions
found in that district. This moss is
carefully examined and the number
of weevils both live and dead noted.
From this we compute the ratio of
both live and dead weevils per ton of
moss, and past experience has shown
that this affords a very fair ind&x to
the e'mergence which may be expected.
The following table shows the
figures for the past eight years!
Live WeevUs Dead Weevils
Tear per ton of moss per ton of moss
1915 10.0 414.0
J916 24.0 136.0
1917 8.0 144.0
1918 1.7 48.9 '
1919 4.0 53.0
1920 9.5 15.8
? I
1 1921 22.0 2G.0
1922 .127.0 2.2
From these figures it is seen that
we have far more live weevils per ton
of moss in sight now than at any time
since these records were started and
only a very few dead weevils. Of
course the records on the presence of
dead weevils cannot he accepted as
too accurate because it has been found
that many dead weevils fall out of
the moss during the winter and are
thus lost. The most striking feature,
however, is the fact that the records
for this year show more than five
times as many live weevils in hibernation
as in the highest preceeding
year since 1915. These records are
checked in other ways, among the
different methods being a series of
cages located near Tallulah, Louisiana
which aTe Installed with a.known
number of live weevils each fall, different
types of shelter provided and
the snrvtvnl nf uroovlio in ?"?"?
determined in the spring. We have
just Completed an examination of this
series of cages and find that these
figures verify those quoted in the
moss examinations, and show* the percentage
of survival todate to be much
higher than in past years.
