PROLIFERATION FROM FEEDING PUNCTURES IN BOLLS. 11 
per cent for “Hetty,” at Calvert, Tex., September 24, 1905. These 
figures show a wide range. Five series of observations show prolif- 
eration in less than 30 per cent of the squares fed upon; three series 
show between 30 and 40 per cent; eight series between 40 and 50 
per cent; six show between 50 and 60 per cent; three between 60 
and 70 per cent. It appears, therefore, that the range, while wide, 
is well balanced, the large majority of observations showing between 40 
and 60 per cent. 
PROLIFERATION FROM FEEDING PUNCTURES IN BOLLS. 
Turning now to an examination of proliferation following feeding 
punctures made in bolls, records are presented of the observations 
made during 1905 only. These observations include 18 varieties 
and 3 localities.

a Weighted average. 
The bolls examined all showed distinct external signs of weevil 
injury. Among them, however, fully one-fourth of the total number 
of locks were found to have no noticeable internal injury, and prob- 
ably a majority of these locks would have matured had the bolls 
been allowed to remain upon the plants. As the bolls examined 
were selected especially for weevil injury, it appears that their con- 
dition would probably be worse than the average in fields where 
the weevil has done its worst damage. The figures are of interest, 
therefore, as indicating that even under the most severe conditions 
2 
of weevil injury sufficient seed would still be produced to replant the
