Boll Weevil Prospects for 1S2J (April k) : Temperatures 
throughout the Cotton Pelt have been .vi ally mild during the 
past winter , and undoubtedly as a con;;eQ.".-.euce survival among 
those weevils actually in hibernation v-MMl Me higher than usual. 
This is offset 'oy the fact that in many sections last summer and 
fall conditions were such that the number of weevils entering 
hibernation rras much lov/er than usual. Cor ss a ueai:.iy , spring in- 
festations are going to depend to -n unusual degree upon condi- 
tions last fall in each locality. 7/herever weevils were abundant 
last fall the spring emergence will be heavy. This season'? ex- 
aminations were distributed throughout Louisiana from the south 
to the north at approximately the s:no po 
,hat were included 
in I926 and a fairly 
•ep: 
■essntative average condition is reported. 
It is obvious that in northern Louisiana the weevil population is 
larger this year than at any time since 1$23 and smaller in south- 
ern Louisiana thrh last year. "Spotted" conditions as regards 
density of infestation may again be expected. 
The points in South Carolina where examinations were mode 
are representative of conditions in the coastal plain section of 
that State. It is obvious that the initial infestation in that 
section will be light- this season. The weevil crop -as compara- 
tively light last fall because of a low survival last spring and 
unfavorable -/eather conditions for weevil development during the 
cotton-growing season. In northern Alabama, northern Georgia, 
South Carolina, and North Carolina, generally speaking, climatic 
conditions last year effected almost complete weevil control, 
slight injury being reported in only a few restricted localities 
in this entire area. A generally light initial infestation 
may be expected throughout this area but there are many points 
where local conditions favored weevil multiplication last fall 
and these points may expect heavier infestation, hibernation
