History: The cotton-boll weevil
is not u native of the United States.*
It earn? from Mexico In ISt*;’. It may
have flown across, the Uio Orande
river’ near Brownsville, Texas, or’ it
is possible that it was carried aciosi
in seed ..cotton. « Since it lias
extended its range annually from
50 to 125 miles until jt *has spread
over Texas, Oklahoma. Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi and a part of
AlabamaX
Life and llobits: The eggs are
* laid' within the srprairs vrol *hrrtts of
the cotton plant, The weevil pre
fers the squares and seldom punc
tures a boll as long as there are
numerous squares to puncture. The
mouth of the adult weevil is located
at the end ,of the snout. The weevil
eats a small hole into the square or
and-then turns around and de-
one egg in the puncture and
steals the hole with a small drop of
a gluey substance to protect the egg
from ants, rain and other destruc
tive agencies. The weevil seldom
deposits more than one egg in a
square 1 or boll until the squares and
bolls become very scarce. The egg
hatches in from three to fifteen days,
depending on the temperature. The
larvae is a tiny white frostless grub,
with a brown head and dark jawX.
This grub feeds on the" inside of the
square or’ boll and passes into the
pupae stage from' six to twelve days.
The adult or mature weevil develops
from the pupae ^ stage in three to
ten days and ehts its way out of the
square or boll.
flow to Know a Boll Weevil: The
;. f *'st plan for one who is pot well
a Ounintod with the boll weevil Is to
S‘-r.:l any doubtful specimen to an
entomologist or to a government ex
pert. There are a few characteris
tics, however, that will assist any
one in separating the boll weevil
from the numerous other weevil
that are often mistaken for it. On
each front leg of thf boll weevil are
two spines—one somewhat larger
than the other. The snout has a
black shining appearance and the

The boll weevil is usually from one-
fourth to three-eights of an inch
long and about half so begad. When
they first come from the square or
boll, they are almost piuk. but rap-,
idly turn darker until they are of
a dark brown or chocolate color.
•Weevil’s Food Supply: . The fol
iage, squares and bolls on cotton
stalks constitude the weevil’s sotr
food supply. The Mexican cotton
boil weevil never feeds upon okra,
peas’, beans or other —pl.crrt's—i.t.+cw’■
captured and placed in confinement
and then only to a slight extent.
Kate of incrmsc: The weevils
that when the first squares form on
the. cotton and successive broods
continue” to lay eggs until checked
by heavy killing frost in the late
fall. Observations made by Dr. K.
I). Hunter and Dr. W. E. Hinds,
show that the female weevil deposits
eggs at the rate of from three to five
per -day and continues to lay eggs
for an average of twenty-eight days.
The following is a quotation from
Dr. W I). Hunter, government
entomologist in charge of the bpll
weevil work in the south: "A conr-
servatlve estimate of the possible 1
progeny of a single pair of weevils
during the season beginning on June
?•» and extending to N’c^finber 4 is
12X55,000.” j
Life Period of Weevil*. Wee\ us
born during the early summer .live
from 5n to 75 days. Weevils that
are born late in the fall hibernate
and large numbers live through the
winter and for about 20 days after
emerging in the spring.
ItilxTnation: The immature
weevils in the Squares and bolls are
usually killed durflw the winter. All
. beconm dormant and
Xve
through the winter anX do great
damage in the spring. The adult
weevil spends the winter in hedges,
broomsedge, woods, hay stacks, farm
buildings, decayed logs, moss and
dead trees.

Greater convenience—electrical control but

Bigger, safer brakes—service, 13;* 6x2 ^emer

Better cooling—you never heard of an Over

These are tremendous advantages over any
thing to be had in other cars that sell for

And they make it hard for us to keep up with

The factory has never yet caught up with the
