State Entomoligist Newell de clares that [the boll weevil may attack the whole cotton belt. He says that the only way to keep off the pest is to plant early cot ton. 1 There is no practical way to ex terminate or kill, the insect. It is about an inch long with wings, and whenever a person approaches it flies away to other fields. There is bnt one way to get rid of it, and that ii to plant early cotton. The weevil does not do rnnch damage until the middle of July or first of August, and if the plant has matured its bolls by then, it is safe from the ravages of the inseot, as the weevil does not attack the stalk that late. So keen is its seuss of looating the cotton plant that often single stalks around cotton gins and railroad tracks are visited by ‘them. If they ever reach the sea islands they will be taken there iu bay. or by some means of that kind.
