At Eoclsy Mount, N„C. , last year, 0.05 oor cent emerged compared 
with 0.02 per cent at Tarboro, E.G. this year. No emerged weevils 
were reported in the cages at Aberdeen this year compared with 
0.19 per cent last year. 
at Auburn, ala. , no '.devils emerged in the cages during March

Weevil emergence "/as exceedingly high prior to April 1 at one 
point in South Carolina. Emergence was somewhat higher at one 
point in Texas and one ocint in Louisiana this year than during 
the same period last year. At one point in Louisiana, one in 
Georgia, two in South Carolina, and t-o in Forth Carolina the 
emergence was somewhat lower this year than last year. At one 
point in Mississippi no weevils emerged during the same period 
either year. Records for past years are not availahle for com- 
parison with records this year at other points. 
Records during the last ten years at Tallulah, La., show that 
on April 1 an average of only 17 per cent of the total emergence 
for the season had taken place. At most points the weather during 
the present season has so far been unfavorable for emergence 
and particularly so in comparison with the seme period in 19-5- 
Consequently, while it is still too early to predict the final 
results, it is ohvicus that the indications favor a more or less 
normal emergence at most points. 
(April l6): Weevil emergence generally at the different 
cooperating stations during the first 15 days of April has "been 
considerably lower than was indicated by emergence during March. 
As "'as pointed out in the last report at Tallulah, La., for the 
last 10 years an average of 17 per cent of the total emergence 
t ode place during March wa ile an average of slightly more than 
22 per cent occurred during April. In other words, past records 
at Tallulah indicate that emergence during April was considerably 
higher than in March, The slow emergence this year was undoubtedly 
caused by the unfavorable weather conditions which prevailed at 
most of the cooperating stations during the last 15 days. 
At several points near College Station, Tex., in 1906,1907, 
and 1903 an average of U.6 per cent of the weevils emerged prior 
to April l6. Last year at College Station 3.5^ P®r cen-t had emerged 
on April 15 compared with 2.U5 per cent this year.
