COTTON I IT SECTS 
BOLL V/EE 7 IL ( Anthonomus grand! s Boh,) 
South Carolina, I", Bondy, et al, (August 2): Situation remains acute 
in Florence County even though there are no squares left on the 
majority/ of the cotton. Young bolls are being attacked, and in some 
fields half-grown bolls are almost covered with punctures. More num- 
erous than they h^ve ever been in this part of the State, I'Jhere the 
cotton -is still fruiting, it is safe to say that 100 percent of the 
squares are puncttired where no treatment has been applied, (August 
23): Hot as numerous in the fields in Florence County as they \\^qtc 
last week, 
Georgia, M, Gilmer, ot al, (July 26 ) J Increased considerably in un- 
treated fields in Tift, Berrien, and Tujrner Counties during the week, 
liigrr.'- Ion of the earlier section of the rnicLS->umrfler (second) brood is 
now well established, a,lthough little new oviposition has yet shown 
up. Infestation increase during the week has been la,rgely due to 
la.ter emerging members of the first seasonal brood. Early members 
of the migrating brood began to a-ppear in considerable numbers about 
July 23, being distinctly noticeable about edges of fields, v/hore 
tenoral and nowl^^ emerged, xveevils were quite common in blooms. First- 
brood movement hd.a been the heaviest noted at Tifton in six seasons. 
Many untreated fields of Upland cotton are nov; shov;ing close to 80 
to 100 percent of squares infested, (Augiust I6): Peak of migratory 
movement for the second section has passed during this week in Tift 
and Berrien Counties, Season ho.s unquestionably been the most dis- 
astrous from weevil standpoint since the *20’s, (August 23): Move- 
ment is sonev/hat decreased in Tift, Berrien, and Lovmdcs Counties, 
but still occurring in sufficient numbers to require the usual treat- 
ment on sea island, (August 2): Heavy dama.ge continues in Lovmdes 
and Echols Counties, Infestcotion is as high a,s 49,0 percent, the high- 
est for lasu week being 26,6 percent, 
0, I, Sna.pp (August 13 )^ Infestation nt Fort Valley, in central 
Georgia, is heavier than that of an average year, 
Florida, C, S, Rude and A, J, Rogers (Aiigust 23)1 Forty fields v;ere ex- 
amined in Gilchrist, Alachua, Marion, and Lake Counties; the infesta- 
tions rmging from 0 to 79*5 percent. Weevil is beginning to appear 
in fields in the southern part of Lake County, 
Mississippi, C, L^^lo, et al, (Augu.st 23 )i ReiDorted from Choctaw, Hinds, 
Leflore, Pike, and Yazoo Counties, Very heavy general infesta.tion re- 
ported over the State where cotton is grov.n, and v.diere the plants have 
stoxToed fruiting, large bolls are being a.ttanked, 
E. W, Dunnam, ot al, (August 23)1 Very plentiful in most fields 
in Washington County, As manj' as 5OO weevils v/erc collected by a 
planter on the end plants of a few rows of cotton.
