SOUTHERN FIFLD CROP INSECT? 
COTTON 
BOLL T7EEVIL ( Anthor.cmus grand is Boh*) 
Alabama W. E. Hinds (March 15)* "The winter of 1921-22 has been exceedingly 
short and favorable for a very high percentage of boll weevil sur- 
vival in hibernation. Killing frosts occurred unusually late in 
the fall of 1521 and in many localities cotton was green and weevils 
were breeding therein until the end of December. This shortened 
the usual hibernating period by nearly two months. Recent examina- 
tions indicate that the percentage of living weevils in the field 
at this time runs exceptionally high, 15 percent being found in 
seme cases. This is about five times the normal average survival 
and indicates that we shall have a very early emergence from 
hibernation, and exceptionally heavy attack upon the young cotton 
plants. If normal rainfall occurs through June and July we antici- 
pate exceptional weevil damage to the 1922 cotton crop.." 
SUGAR CANE 
CANE LACEV7ING ( Leptodictya tabid a H.Schaef,) 
Mexico R, H. Van Zwaluwenburg (January 14). "The cane lacewing insect 
has been very abundant since October on corn and on old sugar-cane 
plants. It is also abundant just now en the common ba.Mbcc."
