B»W„Harned (August 17). "The boll weevil is now abundant in all 
parts of the State, In most places where calcium arsenate 
had no^ been used probably 90 per cent of the squares were 
punctured, A few reports were received where for one reason 
or another boll weevdls have fcut become abundant; in most cases 
these were paobably isolated fields. A fairly good cfop of 
cotton is already promised ' from the number of maturing bolls,* 
,exas M.C«Tanquary (August 12)„'*The boil weevil infestation had been 
much lighter over a greater portion of Texas than was anticipated 
from the unusually large percentage of weevils which successfully 
emerged from hibernation. This is due in part to the continued 
hot dry weather throughout the summer and perhaps in part to the 
very general light planting of cotton this past spring.*

from 12 counties in this State, all in the eastern third of the
