BCII WEEVIL ( Anthoncmas grandis Boh.) 
Sruth Carolina. F, F. Bondy (May 9): The boll weevil was fcund fending on 
young cotton at Florence today. : In 193«4 the first weevils w»rc f^undin 
the fields on May 21. Weevils are m^rc abundant than in 193^ a n ^ about 
numerous as in 1933. 
Georgia. J. B. Gill .(May 22): Adults have been prevalent in cotton fields 
f r r some time at Tifton. Control measures are being carried out in 30m 
fields. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (May 2.k) : The b^ll weovil is moderately abundant in 
the cotton fields in central and southern Alabama. 
Mississippi. H. C. Young (May lg): Boll weevils, at the rate of k2 per acre, 
were found in three or four fields examined in "Forrest County. 
Louisiana. M. T. Young (May): Boll weevils were fairly numerous in fi^ldr- 
of large cotton near favorable hibernation quarter:- in the vicinity of 
Tallulah on May 11. R. C. Gaines reports that fewer weevils ^m~rged from 
hibernation cages up to May lg than at any time during the past k years. 
Oklahoma. C. F. Gtiles (May 21): The number of active boll weevils observed 
in hibernation cages up to April 30 were much less than in 193^« I n 193^ 
a total of 237 active weevils were observed up to this same date cut of 
28,000 installed. On the same date in 1933 » ~ x 3 live weevil? were observed 
out of 35,000. In 1935, only g were observed out of 25,000. The weather 
remains cold and cotton has made poor progress. Much of it will have to 
be replanted. It appears quite liknly that few weevils have survived the 
past winter in Oklahoma, except in the extreme southeastern part rf the 
State. This fact, together with the lower population present in the fields 
last fall, means that comparatively, few weevils will be present in the 
cotton fields early the coming season. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (May 23): In 193U we had next to the highest percentage 
of emergence of boll weevils for 10 years, with very little injury to 
cotton during the season. This year the indications are that hall 
have a very low emergence, if not next to the lowest, and an opportunity 
to r,oo the results, following a very wet May. 
R. W. Moreland (May): An average of 1 boll weevil to 5? plants on 
upland cotton, and 1 to £k plants en bottom land, near timber, in tho 
vicinity of Colloge Station was reported on May 11. Wo weevils were fci 
r n bottom-land cotton at a greater distance from timber. K. F. Fvring and 
R. L. McGarr found no weevils in fields examined in Calhoun and Victoria 
Counties on May lg.

Arizona. T. F. Cassidy (February 20): An annual examination is made in a fieJ 
of cotton grown for experimental purposes at Tucson, to determine the numbei
