Washington, D. C., April 4, 1912. 
Str: I have the honor to transmit herewith and to recommend for 
publication as a Farmers’ Bulletin a manuscript prepared by Mr. 
W. D. Hunter, of this bureau, entitled ‘‘The Control of the Boll 
Weevil.” 
The matter contained in this manuscript is extracted largely 
from Bulletin 114, of this bureau. That publication is a compre- 
hensive treatment of all phases of the boll-weevil problem. The 
object in reprinting a portion of it is to place the matter relating 
to practical control in form for more economical distribution among 
the planters. 
Respectfully, L. O. Howarp, 
Entomologist and Chief of Bureau. 
Hon. JAMES WILSON, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
