Georgia. T. L. Bissell (June 19): The boll weevil is injurious at Experi- 
ment. Punctured squares containing half-grown larvae are falling fron 
early cotton. 
C. H. Alden (June 20): Boll weevils are scarce at Cornelia. 
Alabama. J. K. Robinson (June 20): The cotton boll weevil is moderately 
abundant in central and southern Alabama. Weevils have been reported 
as earlier and more numerous than usual in the Tennessee Valley near 
Huntsville, 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (June 22): The boll weevil is already appearing in 
large numbers in many cotton fields. Examinations made by State Plant 
Board inspectors in 124 fields in 37 counties during the -reek ended 
June 15 showed weevils present on %h farms, with an average of 192 
weevils per acre on 65 farms, and an infestation of 9a percent on 19 
farms where squares were large enough to be counted. Weevils are already 
present in Tippah and Tishomingo Counties on the Tennessee border, which 
is usually the last part of the State to become infested each season. 
E. W. Dunnam (June 22): Boll weevils are appearing in great numbers 
in early cotton, especially near wooded areas, in Washington County and 
adjoining counties in the Delta. Practically no weevils can be found in 
large open fields of late cotton. 
H. C. Young (June 29): The infestation in 10 Oktibbeha County 
fields averaged 22.1 percent, as compared to 8.7 percent in similar 
fields a year ago. 
M. C. Ewing (June 29): In twelve fields in Forrest County the 
average infestation was 10.2 percent, as compared to 17.5 percent for 
the week ending June 30, 193^ 
Louisiana. W. E. Hinds (June "J): H. 3. Brown, who has charge of cotton 
production at the Baton Rouge station, reports that he and his assistants 
have recently gathered up to 100 or more weevils per acre from some of 
their early planted plats of cotton. This indicates a rather heavy 
weevil survival. 
R. C. Gaines (June 22): Some first~generation weevils emerged 
during tho past week. (June 29): The average square infestation in 3^ 
untreated plots was 9*5 percent. The infe station was sufficiently high 
to make poisoning necessary for approximately one-third of the plots 
that will be treated. Indications are that a large proportion of the 
acreage in this territory will be poisoned this season. Considerable 
commercial poisoning with airplanes and ground machines has already 
been done, 
Oklahoma. C. E. Stiles (June 21 ): Cotton is very late in the boll weevil 
section of Oklahoma, which comprises the eastern two-thirds «f the State. 
Up to and including June 19, a total of 25 weevils had emerged from 
hibernation cages, out of a total of 25,000 installed in the fall of
