Mr. Young and assistants examined 7.200 squares in plots that had re- 
ceived no treatment and found an average square infestation of 37*3 
percent. This infestation ranged from l6.7 to 66.2 percent for the 
week ending August 15. 
Arkansas. D. Isely (August 22): The boll weevil is of no economic import- 
ance in any part of Arkansas, probably because of the prevailing severe 
•drought and high temperatures. 
Oklahoma. C. I\ Stiles (August 19): If the hot, dry weather continues for 
another 10 days boll weevil damage through the State will perhaps be 
the lightest on record since all of Oklahoma has been infested with the 
weevil. The heaviest infestation last week in southeastern Oklahoma 
was 0.5 percent. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (August 7): The' average numbers of squares punctured by 
boll weevils in the several sections of the State are as follows: 
Southern, So percent; southeastern, 2o percent; south- central, 10; 
north-central, 5 percent; northern, H. These figures arc. based on 
examination of 33 farms, some of which had been poisoned for leafworms 
and weevils.. (August 28): The infestation is comparatively light 
in many fields but is increasing, following the setback received during 
the hot weather of about 2 weeks ago. 
R. W. Moreland (August l): Migration has been going on near College 
Station for some time in the upland cotton, as the infestation has 
built up rapidly during the past 2 weeks. Examined 5,400 cotton squares 
in upland fields during the week and 1,500 of these were in checks, where 
804 punctures were found. The infestation ranged from 42.7 to 64.0 
percent with an average of 53.6 percent; 2,700 squares were examined in 
plots that had received more than a presquare application and 870 
punctures were found. The infestation in these plots ranged from 6.3 
to 57* 7 percent, with an average of 32.2 percent. 
K. P. Swing and R. L. McGarr (August 15) : At Port Lavaca general 
weevil infestation is reduced frnn last week. Infestation records made 
in the check plots in the weevil experiments in Jackson County this 
week average 22. 4 percent punctured squares, as compared with 43. 9 
percent last week. The reduction is no doubt duo to poisoning for leaf 
worms ( Alabama arglllacea Hbn. ) , along with the hot, dry weather. 
Mexico. C. S, Rude (August IS): Infestation at Tlahualilo, lurango.has in- 
creased rapidly in the past week. In some regions the infestation is 
from 70 to 80 percent in squares and from 15 to 50 percent in bolls.
