Professor Mally, State Entomol-
ogist, has been out West studying
the habits of this threatening
scourge, and has determined that
as the firs^ crop of insects is con-
fined to circumscribed areas, in
the infected fields, that if these are
destroyed the second crop is pre-
vented and the cotton crop saved.
He has also by actual test determ-
ined that the labor cost of this
_ ! V
work is insignificant. He gives
the result of his investigations in
Farm anc Ranch of June 17. The
following extract will be found
instructive to cotton growers, es-
pecially in the infected sections:
‘‘Just here I wish to state that
the squares must actually be col
lected abd burned and not plowed
under during cultivation, as some
have recommended. 1 have prov-
en during the course of the past
two weeks of experimental tests
that weevils buried, six, eight and
ten inches, respectively, have
worked out to the top and escap-
ed. The same will, in all proba-
bility, apply to the squares, be-
cause 1 have found that it seems
immaterial how small may be the
square in which the egg is laid,
the larva will find enough feed in
