Tliejijcwd favorable condition, there fore. for the successful hibernation for IkjII weevils Is found In fields where the cotton stalks, ^rass. weeds, dead leaves. etc., are left during the winter. Under such conditions the farmers may c\i>cct the greatest number of weevil* to survive the winter- Then* Ih little pro*p??ct for successful cotton growing under such <*on(litions. Thv earlier the cotton stalks are de stroyed. the fewer tile weevils that will survive the winter. and consequently the smaller the damage to the next crop. As fur as possible. the stalks ?hould la> destroyed two weeks before . the first, killing frost.

A less effective method is to graze off all green cotton within a period of a few days. W hatever meth od one employ*, the destruction of stalks must be thorough.
