Work bees for sale Notice is hereby given that a spe cial bill will lie introduced at the next session of the Georgia Legis lature with the following caption: A BILL An Act lo amend an act approved Atlanta, Juhe.—(Special.)—Just be cause the Mexican cotton boll weevil has been somewhat inactive during the spring months, due almost entirely to dry weattjer conditions, is no rea son to believe it will not show up in large numbers in many, if not all, of the counties where it was found last year. The boll weevil was actually found last fall, live and active, in about for ty Georgia counties, according to the records of the State Hoard of Ento mology. This spring, department in spectors have made careful search in practically every county, lor the re appearance of the insect, and the last of May found it for the first time in large numbers. Since the recent rains the weevil Is coming out much more rapidly, and inspections in Decatur county at the end of May showed them to be quite abundant. Unconfirmed reports are coming in, of the presence of the wee vil in many other counties where it was found last, fall, and these are be ing investigated. Cowpea Weevil Caused Alarm. Considerable alarm has been caus ed in some of the counties where tile boll weevil was found last year, over the discovery of the cowpea pod wee vil in cotton planted after cowpeas. This insect feeds on the cotton plant, but is rarely sufficiently abundant to do serious damage. This is a small, snout beetle, and while it has a slight resemblance to the boll weevil, It is very much darker in color, and varies In shape.as well as habits. Technically It is qulle different, and Is very easily distinguished from the boll weevil. Nevertheless, the board advises farmers to send all insects which they suspect are boll weevils, direct to the department for examination der buds, squares or blooms. Most of the cotton in South Georgia is now putting on squares, nnd il is upon these that the weevils will center their attacks. They feed to some ex tent upon the squares and deposit their eggs in them, one egg being placed in each square. The square turns yellow, flares open and falls to the ground. If as many as fifty weevils to the acre are found, the board recommends hand picking of weevils and infested squares. Weevils and infested squares should he collected and burned or I buried deep enough to prevent the [CHAIN GANG SENTENt E adults from emerging.
