It is also interesting to note the weevil emergence progressing 
at- Doth North Carolina points, thus indicating that the weevils 
have been able to survive the winter in fair numbers even that 
far North. 
North Carolina Franklin Sherman (March 31): Although l c 24 witnessed very light 
injury in this State on an average, vet there was much rain at the 
v ry close of the season and weevils then seemed to develop in 
great numbers. ~e, t erefore, believe that approximately a nor- 
al number entered hibernation. In o~jt hibernation ca.res at 
Aberdeen t~o adults had come into the open by mid-March, but no 
more have been seen since. 
Texas T. C. Barber (April 15): Initial boll-weevil infestation is 
rather heavy for the season, many people' mentioning observing 
weevils in the cottonf ields. Today the writer examined 60C 
lineal feet of cotton row in a'40-acre field 5 miles east of 
Brownsville and collected 20 weevils. Since the cotton ro^s 
were 4 feet apart, this indicated an average of more than 360 
hibernated weevils t>er acre of cotton. 
CUTTOBUS (Noctuidae) 
Mississippi R. W. Harned (April 23;: On April 16 Inspector R. C. Price at 
Poplarville reported, early cotton severely damaged by cutworms. 
In one e;rperiment station plot four rows had to be replanted 
because of cutworm injury. He reports that an average of 10 
per cent of the plants in the fields around Poplarville are 
being cut down by cutworms. This includes tomato, corn, and 
cotton. 
Texas T. C. Barber (April 10): Considerable complaint of cutworm in- 
jury to young cotton seedlings is heard over the lo~er Rio Grande 
Valley section, in some cases the stand being injured so badly 
that replanting is necessary.

GRASSHOPPERS (Acridiidae) 
Florida F. 3. Chamberlin (April 7): Large numbers of <jras shoppers are 
hatching out in grass lends adjoining tobacco fields in Gadsden 
County. Control rnersures are r.ost easily practiced at this time.
