Nevada George 0. Schweis: The only insect that has "become thoroughly 
established in this State 5s the Sar. Jose scale. Thie insect 
seems to have a wide distribution, ..arid without doubt covers 
the entire State whereever deciduous trees are grown. A survey 
has not been made in the southern portion of the State recently, 
hut we are inclined to believe that it exists there also. 
California T, D, Urhahns : 'The San Jose scale has a general distribution 
in practically all of the orchard districts of California, but 
is held in check in good condition in commercial orchards with 
a regular system of orchard spraying. It- sometimes becomes 
quite destructive in neglected orchards or trees in back yards, 
and if left uncontrolled in commercial orchards would probahly 
. take the orchard in the course of a fe^ years. 
BOLL WEEVIL ( Anthonomus grandis.Boh.) 
Virginia \7* J. Schosne; I personally made a scouting trip for the 
boll weevils on the ?5th and 26th of September, and I am giving 
you that data herewith. In company with Mr* .Underbill, I scouted 
the territory from Richmond to Emporia south, and from Lawrence- 
Tille through Drewryvi lie , Franklin, and Suffolk. The insect 
was readily found in cotton fields ten miles north of Emporia. 
Also either the insect itself or evidence of the work was found 
in practically every field visited from Lawrenceville to Suffolk. 
Owing to the prolonged dry weather, many of the fields of cotton 
had fully matured, and in soma the cotton had been picked be fore 
the dates mentioned. The plants in such fields were thoroughly 
dry and no weevils present, but vshers-va*!? there happened to be 
a green plant the insects were readily found, though in small 
numbers; and no evidence of any injury was noticed except near 
Franklin and Suffolk. In this region the insect was present in 
all stages though not so numerous as noted at Suffolk in 1923, 
North Carolina a, P. Met calf : Mr, '.7,. Bruce Mabec, Extension Entomologist, advises 
me that less than the usual number of cotton boll weevils went 
into hibernation, and that they went into hibernation earlier 
than usual this year. It is natural to expect, therefore, that 
fewer will survive the winter than in the average season. 
Missouri L. Easeman: To ny knowledge no weevil appeared in southeastern 
Missouri last summer. No complaints of it were received and 
no samples, though a few years ego we had a fair sprinkling. 
Arkansas Dwight Isely: Injury by the cotton boll weevil was relatively 
light when compared with that of -1 923. However, it was much 
more general than in 192h, La.te in the season weevils could 
be found in all parts of the cotton belt in large numbers, and 
the number which went into hibernation was several times greater 
than in the fall of 192^. 
Louisiana W. E. Hinds: Boll weevils were scarce generally through the 
past sum-re r in the northern half of the State and in the eastern 
section. They developed abundantly in such fields as were not 
stripped by the cotton -orms, during September and October. The
