jouisiana 77. 3. Hinds (March Ik) : Fo boll weevils have emerged as yet 
from hibernation ca-res at Baton Rouge. 
L. Haseman (March 10): This pest attracted no attention on our 
southern cotton growing farms the past two or three seasons. 
F. L. Thomas (March 21): Boll weevils were active in January 
in the hibernation cages. They have been feeding on cotton which 
is growing from last year's stalks in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. 
I understand that much of this cotton will be left to grow a crop 
this year, and as a result we are expecting much complaint from 
boll weevil injury.

F. L. Thomas (March 15): The number of cotton flea hoppers which 
have emerged or hatched from each lot of 100 plants, from first

Date of first emergence at College Station: February lo. The 
much larger number of cotton flea hoppers emerging from goat weed 
at College Station in 1927 is net considered as especially signi- 
ficant at this time, but is probably a result of more favorable 
weather conditions for hatching of the eggs.
