Notwithstiinilinj,' the fact that
most of the boll weevil hibernating'
in the open tountiy seem to have)
Jbeen killed hy the wnitci's told,
enough have survived, in well pro
tected hibernation nccts, to thieaten
serious damage to the 11122 cotton

ontiimolciiti-t with the Oklahoma ex
peiiinent station.
To get some idea of what perccn-
lajjo of last jear's ciop of boll weevil
would live through the winter. San
born placed foiii hibeination nests at,
diffi-ienl points in the state last fall
one of them at Antleis, one a Du-,
rant, one at Mniietta and one at Still
untri eiuh with 100 weevils in it.
31e has just examined those nests
All of the weevils weie dead in tin
jiests at Stillwater Durant and Man

those in the Antic i m.st had Mir
vivul the winter.
That seems like a small peuent
