W*-E» Hinds {Ssptember 2l)« "Boll-weevil injury has been much less 
during the present season than the May prospect indicated, largely 
because of the control exerted through the unusually dry hot 
weather continuing quite generally through the State in June T 
July, and August* During June the rainfall was less than one- third 
normal and this checked the weevil to the extent that the cotton 
has fruited unusually, in the southern two- thirds of the State f 
particularly. Rainfall for the 3 months has been only one-half ^e 
normal.
