And who . has- heard of the remark - aide baits? We like sweets, of course f and if we like them why should n<?t the boll weevil like them ? -just as though we and tl?e boTd weevils were alike. Hy this rnle, why should tbe house fl.v eat manure when we do not like it?

ITow many poison sweets wiM you entertain in 1922? And finally, here comes a follow with extracts from the cotton plant a marvelous discovery of the century. What then are commercial extracts of the cotton plant? If you want to call cottonseed oil an extract, we.M and pood, but who ever saw a boll weevil interest ed in cotton seed or any of its by pro ducts? The pink boll worm considered cot ton seed par-excellence for breakfast dinner, and supper, but the boM wee vil has never been aJ>le to see anything attractive about cotton seed or cotton seed oil. The weevtl likes cotton seed for winter shelter, but beyond that he has no use for it. The research la bora - tories are giving attention to extracts, but these, even if they prove valuable, are still in their Infancy and not avail able for use.
