BOIL WEEVIL BBT IN GEOBI;
BOARD ADVISES PICKING BY HAND
Atlanta, June.—(Special.)—Just, Tio
cause the .Mexican cotton boll weevil
has been somewhat inactive (luring
the spring months, <iue aiiuosl entirely
lo dry weather 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 Stale Hoard of Unto-
Biology. This spring, department
spectors have made careful .scare!) In
practically every county, for the re¬
appearance of the insect, and the last
of May found it for die first time in
large numbers. r
Since tlie recent rains the weevil is

Bbundaat Unconfirmed reports are
coming in, of the presence of the wee-
vil in many oilier counties Where u
was found last fall, and these are be¬
ing investigated.
Cowpaa Weevil Caused Alarm.
Considerable alarm has been caus¬
ed in some of the counties where the
boll weevil was found last year, over
the discovery of I be cowpea pod wee¬
vil in cotton planted after cowpeas.
This insect feeds on the cotton plant.
but i! C rare ‘y ^uicicntiy abundant to
ao serious damage. This is a small,
snout boctlo, and w hile it has a slight
resemblance to the b«n weevil, it is
very much darker in color, and varies
in shape as well as habits.
Technically it is quite different, and
ia very easily distinguished from the
boll weevil.
Nevertheless, the board ad vi»«s
farmers to send all insects which they
suspect are boll weevils, direct to the
department for examination.
The department has recently issued
a bulletin on the Mexican (‘offon boll
weevil, which contains all information
needed with regard to its life history,
habits and methods of control. It has
also issued a circular on the varieties
of cotton to be planted for boll weevil
conditions. Both of these publications
will be sent to anyone desiring them,
upon request.
Examine Fields Carefully.
The Board advises farmers in all
counties where the weevil has been
found, to examine their fields very
carefully for the weevil, says State
Entomologist E. Lee Worsham. They
should closely examine the young, ten-
The College for Your Daughter
THE SOUTH GEORGIA STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
SIX REASONS WHY.
1. It is a good college, housed in a beautiful, new, clean,
comfortable, modern building.
2. It is your own college—the only State institution of
higher learning in the southern half of the state—the
State’s newest college for young women.
3. It is a college where health and character are regarded
as first essentials, and where this idea is acted on constantly.
4. It is a college taught entirely by specially trained teach¬
ers, where scholarship combines culture -and practical use-
fulness.
5. It is a college where money cannot buy social or class
standing; where only character, honest endeavour and duty
done give precedence.
6. It is free. The student pays only for what she uses
personally— clothing, board, books, etc.; the State pays sal¬
aries, etc.—the main cost of a college education. The Col¬
lege makes no money from its patrons, but saves them all
it can.

dor buds, sqUarea fir blooms. Mont of
the cotton in South Georgia is now
putting on squares, ami U is upon
these that the weevils will center
their attacks. They feed to srmo ex¬
tent upon the squares and deposit,
their eggs in them, one esg hems
placed in each square. The sqnari*
turrfs yellow, flares open and falls U*
the ground.
If as many as fifty weevils to the
acre are found, the board recommends
band [licking of weevils and infested
squares. Weevils and infested squares
should be collected and burned or
buried deep enough to prevent the
adults from emerging.
The figures of the United States Bu¬
reau of Entomology on the har.d pick¬
ing of weevils, show tbai a gain of lid
per cent was made ill yield, where it
was practiced, at & cast of $2.50 per
acre. Tliis consisted of five pickings.
How To Pick By Hard.
If llie weevils are abundant, hand
picking Should be practiced until early
in July. The weevils continue U»
emerge from hibernation, or come out
of their winter quarters under straw
and rubbish, fill through July, but
roost of them conic out in May and
Juno.
Hand picking of the wt evils can be
facilitated by the use of bags attach¬
ed to barrel hoops. This bag shouid
be about 20 inches in diameter at the
top, and smaller at the bottom. Thu
cloth used should he unbleached sheet
iiig, drilling or duck.
In using the hoop and sa^k outfit,
the hoop can be grasped in the hand
and held on the ground close to the
base of the plant. Then the plant
should be bent forward into the open
! mouth of the rack, and shaken vigor-
ously so as to rnalce the weevils fall off
into the bag.
The first picking of weevils should
be made at the time the first squares
appear, the second picking about ten
days after the first bloom apt-ears. and
thereafter every five or six days.
Farmers should practice rapid and
shallow cultivation of their cotton.
and continue this cultivation until tiro
cotton is ready to pick. Cultivation
should he about one and one-halt
inches below the surface of the soil.
It is well to arrange to plow at least,
once a week where possible, and the
cotton should be made to put on a
good erop of bolls just a r, quickly us
can be done, These methods will
prove of material value in the making
of a fair crop even under boll weevil
conditions.
