 FIELD WORK, 1905-1906. 



Laboratory investigations of the bollworm, such as the breeding of 

 parasites, the studying of predaceous insect enemies, etc., were carried 

 on during the year 1905. Attention was devoted mainly, however, to 

 field experiments and demonstrative work. As the investigating force 

 was limited to the writers, it was found impossible at times, when 

 the work was most pressing, to devote such personal attention to some 

 of the experiments as was desired. Only a portion of the writers' 

 time could be devoted to bollworm work during the year 1906, and for 

 this reason laboratory investigations were entirely eliminated. 



The bollworm investigations during the last three years have been 

 confined principally to those portions of northern Texas and southern 

 Indian Territory which have suffered most in recent years from.boll- 

 worm depredations. The endeavor has been to locate the experiments,- 

 as far as possible, in territory not seriously infested with boll weevils, 

 and thus avoid complications from this source in the results. j 



In general, the field work has been continued along lines similar 

 to those followed in 1903 and 1904, some results of which were pub- 

 lished in Farmers' Bulletins 191 and 212.
