Bruce Mabee, in-charge of the field station of the division of en tomology at Dunn, N. C, - Mr. Mabee reports that the. weevil has punctured 17" per cent of the squar es on the farm of M. L. Ballard at Kipling; on the farm of Dr. E. Un derwood in onex field 18 per cent of the squares have been punctured; and 12 miles south of Fayetteville on the F. M. Norah plantation a nine per cent damage has been found. Aocording to Mr. Mabee, this is time when farmers should be on the alert for the boil weevil damage and prepa rations should be made for dusting the cotton. He states that time should not be wasted in looking for grown weevils but rather that atentlon should he turned to the punctured squares on the cotton plants. Where the dam age la not general over the entire field, time, poison, and cotton may be saved by dusting the heavily infested plants and thus preventing the spread of wee vils'over an entire farm. - For the purpose of determining tn_e percentage of Infestation Mr. Mabee auggests-that 100 squares on the stalks he examined. This will, give a gen eral average for the field being con sidered and, Mr. Mabee says, if ten out of each hundred squares are punctured, ft is time for dusting.
