'SMSECT ENEMIES —ECLL WEEVIL The boll weevil is the mo>t <fp .'jttcoctive enemy of the cotton plant. xHl' V 892 it crossed the Rio Grande Mexico near Brownsville, * Tejjts.

When the right methods are ued, cotton production under •w">rvil conditions becomes almost i mwsrmal. The best methods of fighting tbs weevi* are as follows: Si..

Last year many cotton grow ers tried the plan with such suc cess that it is more or less gener ally believed that this method of combating the boll weevil will spread rapidly. But the use of a poison spray calls for properly devised machin ery; it involves many details. For these reasons it is advisable that those who desire to use the meth od should secure full information from the laboratory at Tallulah. The weevil eats nothing but cotton and goes into winter quar ters close to the field, hiding in old stumps, piles of trash or wher ever it can find protection. Oniy a small per cent survive the winter; very few that go into winter quarters poorly feed live til! spring. Those that do surviye, are very weak and can be picked very easy. Administrator’s Sale.
