through McClain in Henry County and Big Sandy in Benton County ; coutiniiing 

 southeastward to the Tennessee River and entering Humphreys County just 

 north of Phifer; it then extends on to McEwen in the same county, crossing 

 the southwestern corner of Dickson County. From tliere it goes east along 

 the line of Hickman and Dickson Counties, turning due south again just east 

 of Overbey, then southeastward, cutting the extreme southwest corner of 

 Williamson County and extending along the dividing line of Williamson and 

 Maury Counties. It then turns northeastward through the southeast corner 

 of Williamson County to Dentonville in Rutherford County, then turns south- 

 east across the southwest corner of Cannon County. , It then goes southward 

 into Coffee County, passing a short distance northeast of Manchester, extending 

 on through Prairie Plains, then south along the county line of Franklin and 

 Grundy, It then turns eastward, striking the 1921 line in the northwest comer 

 of Marion County, passing through Whitwell, then southeastward to Chat- 

 tanooga and entering Hamilton County just northwest of Chattanooga. From 

 Chattanooga the line turns northward to Dayton in Rhea County, continuing 

 northward to Roddy in the same county. It then makes a sharp curve south- 

 eastward, taking in the extreme southern part of Roane and Loudon Counties 

 and entering Monroe County just north of Sweetwater, extending to Madison- 

 ville and then southward, passing just east of Tellico Plains, entering Polk 

 County in the extreme northeast corner. It then continues to 4 miles west of 

 Copperhill, striking the 1921 line, and leaves the State at that point. 



In Georgia the line follows the same course as in 1921, at which time it was 

 described as follows : 



" The line enters Fannin County west of Cad, continuing due south through 

 the western part of the county, entering Gilmer County just east of Cohuita 

 Mountains. It goes south, joining the 1920 line at Ellijay, then eastward 

 just above, the 1920 line through the southern portion of Fannin County, where 

 it rejoins the 1920 line at the northwest corner of Lumpkin County, It crosses 

 the county just north of the 1920 line, entering White County south of 

 Church and continuing eastward, entering Habersham County below Aerial. 

 Going eastward through this county, it passes through Hollywood and thence 

 to the border through the extreme northern portion of Stephens County," 



The line touches the South Carolina border at the western corner of Oconee 

 County and continues northeastward along the State line, which is the limit of 

 cotton, to Polk County in North Carolina. Examinations made by representa- 

 tives of the South Carolina State entomologist at Russell, Tamassee, and 

 Jocassee showed heavy infestation of weevils at all of these points. 



In North Carolina the weevil has spread northward so that the line now 

 follows the western limit of cotton production in that State, and apparently 

 the only cotton-producing county not reached by the weevil is Currituck, which 

 is the extreme northeastern county of the State. The line enters this State in 

 western Polk County, It then runs through Polk County and northeastward 

 across western Rutherford County to the southeast corner of McDowell County. 

 It then passes across Burke County to a point just south of Hudson in Caldwell 

 County. From this place the line extends northeastward to Wahoo in Alexan- 

 der County, passing just north of Grade, then turns eastward, following the 

 northern boundary line of Iredell and Davie Counties to Winston-Salem in 

 Forsyth County. It then turns slightly northeastward, passing through the 

 northwest corner of Guilford County, just south of Browns Summit. The line 

 continues northeastward through the southeast corner of Rockingham County, 

 curving northward through Caswell County, passing just north of Eastland, and 

 striking the State line north of Blanch. The line then turns eastward and
