E. W, Dunnam and J. C. Clark (Octolier 8): Eew can be fovind in most fields 
of Washington Coionty hut they are plentiful in fields with second growth. 
(October 15): Rapidly decreasing. Some second growth to furnish food in a 
few fields. (October 29): It is estimated that the population going into 
hibernation this fall in Washington County just about equals that of a year 
ago. The weevils, ho\’7ever, are on an average much older, as this dry fall 
has not been favorable for second growth and weevil breeding. It is thought 
that the remainder of the heavy summer population is in poor condition for 
successful hibernation, 
R, L. McGarr (October 8); Squares still plentiful in’many fields in 
Oktibbeha and Lowndes Counties for weovils to feed on, sustaining a large 
number to go into hibernation, (October 29); Still common in small areas 
of cotton not killed by frost. Weather conditions during the last few days 
have probably caused a number of weevils to go into hibernation. Field con- 
ditions indicate that the weevils should enter hibernation in good condition 
. in Oktibbeha and Lowndes Coimtios, 
Louisiana, R, C. Caines and assistants (October 29); Boll weovils taken on field 
flight screens in Madison Parish during the month of October totaled 352 in 
193s, as compared to 3^5 1937 15^ In. 1936, 
Texo.s, R, W, Moreland and A, B, Beavers (October l); Population continues to 
build up in Inte-plonted cotton in Brazos and Burleson Counties, (October 
8); Population light in fields where no top crop was produced. Same con- 
dition developing in late-planted cotton. A few fields of late-planted 
cotton havo a fairly heavy population in spots of rank cotton, (October I5) 
Population practically nil in early planted cotton and light in most fields 
of lato-planted cotton, (October 22); Population unusually light in fields 
of early planted cotton, as very few squares and blooms are to be found, 
THURBERIA WEEVIL ( Anthonomus grandis thurboriae Pierce) 
At izona, W, A, Stevenson, et al, (October l); Fxirthcr specimens wore found in 
bolls of cotton from Santa Cruz County and present indications are that the 
infestation will be considerably larger than in 1937» 
BOLIWORM ( Heliothis obsolota F, ) 
Florida, L. C, Fife and C, S. Rude (October l); Very few bollwoms present in 
Alachua and Ivlarion Counties, (October 22); Ho bollworms observed in 
Alachua, Marion, and Lake Counties, 
Mississippi, C, Lyle (October 26); Cotton bolls showing injury received from 
Madison County on October 10, 
Texas, R, W, Moreland and A, B, Beavers (October l); A number of moths noticed 
in a field of late-plantod cotton visited on September 29* (October I5): 
A f©w found in collecting woevils on October l4 in Brazos and Burleson 
Counties, (October 22); Hone found in any fields visited on October 21,
