 AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE MEXICAN 
 COTTON BOLL WEEVIL. 
 
 [nthonomus grandis Boh.) 
 
 By F. C. Bishopp, Agent and Expert. 
 INTRODUCTION. 1 
 
 The invasion of the United States In the cotton-boll weevil lias 
 caused revolutionary changes in the area in which cotton is produced. 
 Not only have agricultural practices been changed, but the whole 
 economic structure of the Stab - concerned has been affected. More- 
 over, through trade relations the boll-weevil problem has attracted 
 extensive attention outside of the United States. The literature 
 that lias naturally grown up on this subject is of interesl to various 
 persons. It interests entomologists on accounl of the detailed inves- 
 tigation of the insect and for other reasons; cotton planters, on 
 account of their own experience in producing the staple; cotton mer- 
 chants, on accounl of the manner in which the size and distribution 
 of the crop has been affected; and historians and economists, on 
 account of the manner in which institutions, such as the relation 
 between tenant and landlord, have been affected. 
 
 The object of the present publication is to furnish an index to this 
 litci at ure for the use of the persons who have been mentioned and 
 other-. There is a present demand For such a publication, especially 
 in the Eastern States of the cotton belt, and this demand will 
 undoubtedly increase as time passes. 
 
 The literature on the boll wec\il is probably as extensive as that 
 on any other injurious insect. It is scattered through hundred-, of 
 publications, covers aboul 3,500 pages, and is in several languages. 
 This paper includes all of the more important writings, comprising 
 297 titles. In order to include a considerable number which are of 
 
 By w. D. Hunter, in charge southern field crop Insect investigations. 
 
2 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COTTON BOLL WEEVIL. 
 
 special historical or economic interest it has been necessary to make 
 references to a number of agricultural journals and similar period- 
 icals. Such journals furnished the only source for a considerable 
 class of information. Articles of minor or incidental importance 
 have not been included. A certain number of visionary and contro- 
 versial articles have also been excluded. It is believed, however, 
 that references are made to all of the writings necessary to furnish 
 such information regarding the various ramifications of the weevil 
 problem as may be desired by most persons. In the laboratory of 
 the Bureau of Entomology at Dallas, Tex., however, a complete 
 manuscript bibliography, consisting of 515 titles, is to be found. 
 Access to this manuscript will be given to such persons as may desire 
 to make use of it.

 importance of the cultural method of control, the importance of fall destruction of the 
 cotton plants, early planting and clean cultivation being especially emphasized. Spring 
 and fall trapping of the adult weevils, destruction of volunteer plants, and, where cheap 
 labor is available, the picking up of infested squares, are recommended. English and

 Report on the work of the commission during 1900-1907. Brief discussion of spread of 
 weevil and quarantine regulations which were enforced up to February 4, 1908, when the 
 quarantine was repealed in tola. The following topics are also discussed: Cultural experi- 
 ments; autumn spraying experiments; weevil destroying machines and boll weevil "reme- 
 dies; " boll weevil parasites; the Shreveport laboratory; cooperation with the Bureau of 
 Entomology; experiments with Paris green. Under the last topic is presented the results 
 of several extensive field tests of Paris green against the boll weevil, and summary of the 
 results of a special tour of investigation made by the Commission through a region where 
 Paris green was extensively used. These experiments showed that no Increase in crop

 Recommends the use of early varieties, selection of cotton seed, thorough cultivation, 
 hand picking of adult weevils from plants in spring, and hand picking of infested squares. 
 Especial emphasis is laid on the fall destruction of the cotton plants either by grazing or 
 cutting and burning, this operation to be followed by deep fall or early w inter plowing.

 cotton ami thus avoid the injury, (2) destroy tin- hibernating brood of weevils and their 
 progeny. Varieties of cotton which seem desirable for planting are discussed, as also fer-
