Boll weevils are not unlike inhabi
tants of cities. When "city folks"
find the crowds in mid-summer are
becoming unbearable they want to get
away to quiet places where they will
have more "elbow room." When fhe >
re "tenements" of the boll wee
become too crowded, they also |
become restless and take to the air. ,
Ewever. it Is not ncessary that they
crowded before their movement ]
fins for their migratory instinct '
prompts them to seek new fields.
The weevil move# from place to
?lac$ by flight. Although it does not
fly for ?? compared with many other
{Meets, it has been known to cover a
fllstance of more than forty miles Th
k ?hort time. It is unable to con
tinue flight very long but by a series
?f short flights, especially when the
Wind is favorable. It may cover con
siderable distances.
The first movement 1b in the spring
from winter quarters to the nearest j
cotton, usually a Bbort distance. Af- 1
tar the weevils reach the field there
Is very little movement except from
plant to plant until well along in the !
?nmmer. Over-wintered weevilB and
their offspring for several months only j
move like a slowly advancing over- 1
flow. Up until August about 90 per j
oent of the weevils In any field are
those which develop practically *here
they are found.
About the middle of August an In
stinct on the part of the weevils to I
move about becomes noticeable. Dur-" j
lng this period weevils become re&t
less and take to the air very active- |

PrJiKOi CEXTEB HAS OPESED
The Punkln Center Band is fine,
Each an artist in his line,
Every time I Iiear them play
It makes me turn and ricochet
The sweetness of its frisky strains
Drive out rheumatlz and pains
And hinges which are due to ache
There, must either bend or break.
Of cuorse the fiddle is a sin
But they play the violin
The horn they call a saxaphone
Surely came from parts unknown
And I'm not wise enough to say
It's not the kind the angels play
If this thing is considered vice
Its doggone nearly worth the price.
I must admit that it is wrong
To swell this pleasure seeking throng
Yet we may be sent below
for (cussin cause) we failed to go.
Satan has no heatless bin
To put the lesser sinners in
80 once more my song will be
Punkin Center T'is of Thee.
You can find some maidens fair
Who ^an vamp a millionaire
Or make a King get on his knees
To see them jazz such melodies.
Romeo sees Juliet
Clad in silken stocklngette
Sallle's hair cut short like mine
At Punkln Center Caroline.
The man who plays the trapq and
drunl
Puts melancholy on the bum
Makes the old feel young again
As though they never felt a pain
Darkens every silver strojid
Better than a druggist can
And puts a crimson In the face
Restless waves cannot erase.
I am old but still alive
No other king bee is In the hive
Last winter while I Jockled Uz.
I turned pale from rheumatlz
And need some crimson In my face ,
But have no puff or powder case
This may be a minor sin
So I'll go down and dance it In.
Me6t me now they've opened up
The President may pass the cup
Perhaps some Punkln Center booze
Has survived the Revenues
Blockade apple jack and peach
Distilled at Punkln Center Beach
Makes fiddles look like violins
And seem the very least of sins.
