The egg hatches to the wnn n about 3 to 6 days. The I worm feeds upon the developing parts ;f he square. Its injury causes the ! square to turn yellow, flare and fall off. The wornvpasses from this stage to tne stage m wnicn wings, legs, diu are developed. The weevil is still in the sealed square. As soon as fully developed it cuts its way out and is ready to. begin puncturing squares for another generation. 1 he -period from the egg to the grown weevil is from , 17to, 21 days,- depending on the season, the development being more rapid in hot wet weather. The weevil will not puncture bolls as long as squares are plentiful, but when these get scarce the half-grown bolls are punctured. ' The damage done by the weevil next year is apt to be small. Heavy infection may be expected year after next. Should the migration be heavy from now until killing frost, and then a mild winter and a late spring, the condition may be changed and damage will be expected next year, The weevil passes the winter in the adult stage. As soon as killing frost comes the weevil goes, into winter quarters and there remains without feed until spring.
