As a n sult the weevils is being forced into hibernation earlier than he would othorw'ise leave cotton fields, and iUfliotisands of young weevils will go into, hibernation with empty stom .t.'U&ts. ’ This, means that all of the of weevils will be destroy -> t«'d.during the winter, and that the hibernating weevils will come out eariier next spring with correspond; ing better opporunity to poison and destroy them before square- appear upon the co.ton plants to provide breeding places.
