With the advent of cool weather in
'he fall, usually in October and No
rember, boll weevils begin to seek
protection against the winter. The
majority of the weevils leave the
fields and fly to the nearest shelter
S'hich may be adjoining timber, grassy
iurnrowr or buildings. The direction
pf Ihelr flight is governed partially
by the prevailing winds.' The move
ment lakes piace when an average
temperature of 60 degrees is reached.
The movement into winter quarters
is not sudden and many weevil* may
bp found in fields after a majority
pave left. In some cases it has been
ibserved that more than a thousand
ireevlls have been found in fields as'
late as December 18.
The most favorable places for win
tering are those in which there are the
most even temperatures and where
pt the game .time the conditions are
Comparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably is the most favorable shel
ter weevils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside of the region in
which Spanish moss occurs, in grass,
Humps, cracks in the ground and
pfmilar places. Very few are ever
found in cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils fake
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden but
nometimes during very warm spells
i few in the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter in
the adult stage,. When frosts occur
immature stages still may be found
In the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply is sufficient many of
these immature stages continue their
development at a very slow rate and
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus,
there may be a somewhat continuous
production of adults during the win
ter. Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since the frosts that de
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs.
The number of weevils liv-ing
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser
vations made at many localities for a
number of years. In one year only
one weevil out of a hundred survived,
but, in another, case, twenty ouf of
each hundred lived through. The lat
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and it appears that under* average
conditions throughout greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
five weevils out of a hundred lived
over to attack the crop the following
year. The largest number lives
through where there ia heavy timber
Enough survive any winter to cause
heavy damage if the spring ar.d sum
mer favors.

time they’re stuck, it ain’t the
case with Bill.
I’ve saw him—when the
weather drapped to twenty-two

there ain’t no flies to swat!
Ketch old Bill durin’ August

EGG YOLKS.—Place a piece of
wax paper over a dish holding unused
egg yolks and they will not get dry.
BLANKETS.—When washing new
new blankets for the first time, soak
them over night in cold water and
then rinse. This removes the sulphur
used in bleaching. Then wash in a
luke-warm lather made with boiling
soap and water. Rinse well in clear
water.
STAINS.—To remove fruit stains
from the tablecloth cover the stain
with powered starch and leave for a
few hours. All the discoloration will
be absorbed by the starch.
CARPET.—After beating a carpet
try rubbing it with a cloth wrung out
in hot water to which has been added
two tablespoonfuls of menthylated
spirit and a small piece of soap. This
brings out the color and does not in
any way injure the carpet.
