Some Facts About Epworth
The Boll Wecvi
The Cotton Boll Weevil is not
native of the United States. Its first
home is Mexico or Central America
Boll weevil spread to the United
States from Mexico in 1892. They1
first crossed the Rio Grande at
Brownsville, Texas.
The boll weevil can neither live or
develop in this state on any plant
but the cotton plant. It passes the
winter in the adult stage and can not
pass the winter in any other stage
in Oklahoma.
About the first killing frost the
Hfiult weevil begin to seek shelter
and protection from rain and low
temperature.
They appear some time near the
first of June and feed on the tender
young leaves of the cotton plant. A?
soon as the squares begin to develop
they begin t0 deposit the eggs.
The eggs are deposited in the
squares. The Weevil very seldom
deposit3 more than one egg in a
square but when the squares become
scarce the female will lay eggs in
the bolls. They often lay more than
one egg in a boll. One female may
deposit as many as 140 eggs
season. The offspring from a pair
of weevil will amount to four or
five million adult weevil in one sea-
son. Three 0r four generations de-
velop in this state in a season.
The Weevil has four stages of de-
velopment. The egg hatches in
about tw0 to three days. The larvae
or grub as it is sometimes called, de-
velops only in the square or boll ir
which it is hatched. It is developed
in from seven to twelve days and
enters into the pupa stage. The pupa
develops into an adult weevil in
from three to five. days. The tmie re-
quired from the egg to the adult is
about two to three weeks.
League
Council
Percy K. Norris, county agent, will
speak to the farmers and people of
Lexington Wendesday night. He will
speak at the high school auditorium
under the auspices of the Commer-
cial club. His subject will "be "The
Best Method to Exterminate the
Boll Weevil." He has something
worth while to say to the farmers.
The representatives of the Lexing-
ton Commercial Club which were W
L. Bottoms, Arthur Sherman, Alvin
Barnett and John Kemp, went to
Norman Tuesday night and met
with the members of the Chamber
of Commerce, where the boll weevil
situation was discussed. Any farm-
er who contemplates plowing up his
cotton field should not do it until he
hears the remedy which he can ap-
ply t0 the infested fields.
Tuesday morning near the Catho-
olic church, Miss Lora Williams who
wag driving a car, lost control of it
and it ran into a telephone pole,
which being rotten broke and fell ov-
er without hurting any of the occu-
pants of the car. We understand
the next object the car went for was
a tree which did not fall but stop-
ped the car.
A severe nervous shock to Miss
Williams and the other occupants of
the dar was all the damage reported.

We are again on the job, ready to

Friday all day long busy ladies of
the Methodist church could be seen
with the lawn mower, rakes, brooms
and spades working like busy bees
to cut the weeks, mow the lawn and
clean up in general. Harold Sher-

chine did valiant battle with the
weeds north of the church. The in.

to a new coat of calcimine in a light
green shade very pretty and restful
to the eye! Let the good work go

ter looking is the town.
