HUNTER, j = Bureau of Entomology of the United ^ States Department of Agriculture. , tj The impression i* wore or less gen e oral tlwit the only iiu|K>riant way in a which boll weevils may. be killed h \ y by the removal of the infested plants k and that all other steps iu the system 1 e< of control are merely to avoid damage ! 0: by the weevils that have survived that 1 n ?JestruetioU and thuk- offspring J^' p spite of this Impression, however. It \ . , urged that the destruction of myriad.; of woevMs can be acton* dished durlug j the growing season Thfe.ls to be doue ^ by working ia co-operation with the ^ natural agencies that destroy the wee- ' p vil. ^ In making examinations of many j 11 thousands of Infested squares (un ' s* blown cotton buds) from different lo- j ? calltlcs and different.situations In cot ton fields it was found that mortality c was conspicuously greatest where the ' sunlight was least obstructed and the ?: heat consequently the greatest Thq 'JJ mortality ia Infested squares In the u middles was many times as great as in the case of squares which remained " under the shade of the branches. The ?[ temperature at the surface of the * SIDE VIEW CP CHAIN CT7LTTVATOB. ! ^ . v..? 1 a \ ground during warm days runs con n siderably higher than at a few few a above the surface. | For instance, it was found that when I S1 tfie temperature was 100 degrees F. in j, * the regular weather bureau shelter . ?, about four fwt above the ground th thermometer registered 140 degrees 1 i on the. surface. Likewise 00 degrc - ] F. in tlie shelter was accompanied L." , 1?0 degrees I*, oq the ground and v.* i 0 degrees F in the shelter by 110 degrees j J P. ou tbe ground. It Is not surprising, therefore. ;bin i tbe cotton squares that fall to ^ ground and are not shaded are ve. : quickly baked, so that tbe weevils ; " n , isb. if cot from heat, then from *:. *' hardening of the'food supply. In dj1..'-. r cases they are simply roasted. tn . b bodies assuming the appearance tl larvae Hint TTTTfF beerr placed- in?r-f t-i flame. j tl ?

The vertical section between b and E is about twelve Inches long.-so that He remainder of the front guard from a to near d will be about four inches bore the ground. This prevents the 0 ashing of dirt and squares toward t tie plants and. allows the chains-to u atch them where they lie. The hooks i t d and e are therefore bent dowu- j c *ard and somewhat backward through v bout five or six inches.

The books a: t and g are formed so ns to hold ilie I ^ bains firmly and yet not interfere ith tlie passage ??f rubbish. a The method of carrying the rear a nils of the outer chains Is shown at 8 h g.
