At Tallulah, La., in the average of the Jmst nine years, about 
65 psr cent of the total emergence has been completed prior to 
May 16. The average emergence prior to this date has "been about 
0.99 per cent. This year the emergence to the same date was 
only 0.01 per cent. 
At Florence, S. C.,56 per cent of the total emergence was com- 
pleted prior to May 16 in 1924, The emergence was 0.19 per cent. 
This year the emergence prior to the some date was 5*15 per cent. 
At points near College Station, Tex., in 1906, 1907, andl908, 
the average total survival was 5»2 per cent. About 92 per cent of 
the total emergence was completed in these years prior to May l6. 
The average emergence on the same date was about 4.8 per cent. 
This year on the same date the emergence was 5.49 per cent. 
At Auburn, Ala,, in 1924 no weevils had emerged under the same 
cage condition prior to May 16, while this year 13.49 Per cent 
had emerged. 
It is interesting to compare the weevil emergence during the 
last three fiftesn»day periods. At all points, with the exception 
of Auburn, Ala., a total of 293 weevils emerged from April 1 
to 15, a total of 639 weevils from April l6 to 30, and a total 
of 210 from May 1 to 15 . 
At Brownsville, Tex., on May l4, Mr. T. C. Barber examined l42 
fallen cotton squares for weevil stages. In this number 6l 
larvae, 9 pupae , and 1 adult that had emerged were found, making 
a total of 71 living weevil stages. The most interesting point 
is the fact that adults weevils of the first brood have just 
started to emerge. These squares were collated in a field that 
was estimated to have 3^2 hibernated weevils per acre oh April 
15. The weevil *- infestation in that vicinity is extremely 
spotted, in some places being very heavy and in others very 
light. 
North Carolina Franklin Sherman (May 13):' We- have five field cages under 
observation, stocked with 3*249 weevils. However, I think our 
truest inference may be drawn from two particular cnges which 
appear to approach closest to natural conditions of hibernation.
