Raleigh, March 19. —The first live boll Weevils to emerge from hibernation this spring were two husky specimens coming froin .the (liberation cages of the divi sion of entomology's field station, near Aberdeen. N. C. , They were discovered by Dr; R. W. Leiby, entomologist in charge of this station. Dr. * Leiby has charge of the Aberdeen peach insect and boll*-weevil laboratory of the North Carolina experiment sta tion. Last fall he placed several thou sand live weevils in wire cages with suitable trash cotton stalks and leaves. The object of the tests was to learn what per eentage of the weevils passed the winter successfully and what time th«( weevils wake up ill the spring to go cotton hunting. “The fact that two live weevils have already aroused themselves from their winter slumbers indicates an early emer gence and a heavy survival,” said Dr. Leiby. *. _ “Last year,” he continued, “only a single weevil but of , several thousand survived the winter wneif placed in our cages. We, therefore, expect a light droth rate this winter and a heavy crop of weevils to start injuring the cotton early this season.” Dr. Leiby and his associates in the division of entomology point out that the amount of actual damage will be largely determined by weathercondition*! during , the early part of July.
