Until j about; tea years, agp, cotton .planters had .only to contend against the cotton worm or caterpillar, which was bad enough; but since rthe ndvent of the boll weevil Its ravages have put the efforts of the worni completely la the shade.

In fact, the boll weevil Is principally, respon sible for this year's shortage of crop. ( The bolweevll la a common . beetle about a .quarter of an Inch-long end came into this country about a decade ago from Mexico. It begins its destruc tive work when the cotton flower is In bloom, entering the flower to. extract the sweet pollen, and while there it lays its eggs. The eggs develop Into larvoe in a few days, and then the real destruction begins'. The boll weevil passes through many metamorphoses and after attaining the pupa stage eats its way out of the bulb of he cotton plant, which bas Withered away from the effects of tne weevil's ravages. . After having passed out from the bulb it, flies to another and continues its depredations. Finally it falls to the grouhoV where It burrows in a, deep bole and turns into the cocoon, from which emerges the full grown beetle In' the;sprl9g..'s?i-s-i- Many attempts have been made to exterminate it. but the lack of knowl edge of the life of the Insect and of its natural ..enemies has. been a serious drawback to such an ena. .
