Reduetion of boll weevils in th cotton belt dur ing 1911 undoubtedly-had an import ant bearing on tho production of the record cotton crop, is th opinion of W; D. "Hunter, of the Department or Agriculture's bureau of entomol ogy. In report on the movement of the Mexican cotton poll weevil, Mr. Hunter says:' "X - '. '' ' "During J.C11 the Doll weevil was greatlvjTednced in nilmbers through-1 ott! its - entire range." This resulted front a , combination of climatic in fluences extending over a period of about three years." ! The insect was exterminated in about 233)00 square miles in nortnwestern Texas and west ern Oklahoma.. Undoubtedly tb8 conditions had an important bearing on the large crop pf 1911. - a 'Nowitbstanding the mat reduc tion, its advance was made to the east and north When the dispersion movement began in August." . The recurrence of the climatic con ditions which did so much toward re ducing the number of boll weevils can be .expected only at infrequent inter vals, 'says Mr. Hunter, j. " , "With the return of seasons fav orable to it, the boll weevil undoubt ed!:? will, regain all f the lost terri tory and multiply to the same extent it-has in the past,'' h continues, 'fit must not b supposed from the situ ation in 1911 that there is any hope for a permanent elimination. On the contrary it is 'necessary . for planters to eontiue their flght against the pest according ' to the plans detailed by the Department of Agriculture."
