No general conclusions can be drawn from these very early 
records. It will he noted that weevil emergence was reported 
from 8 of the cooperating stations; in each case, the emergence 
was greater than last year. Only one station reported a greater 
emergence in 1926 than this year. 
3. E. Coad (Cooperative Report april l): The following table 
gives the percentage of weevils that had emerged prior to April 
1 at the several cooperating stations, also comparative figures 
for the srme date in 1925-1926. It will he noted in this table 
that weevil emergence was somewhat greater this year prior to 
April 1 than in 1926, at eight points, and somewhat less than 
last year at four points. It is too early to predict the final 
emergence, but it is now obvious that the percentage of survival 
will probably he greater this year than in 1526 at many points.
