Hunter, agent in charge of southern field crop insect and tick investigations in this Bureau, dealing with the boll weevil, especially with reference to means of reducing its damage. So many publications upon different phases of the boll-weevil problem have been issued by this Department during the years since the weevil has invaded the United States that it has seemed advisable to pre~ sent a summary in a single paper of the practical results recorded therein and including the results, as yet. Unpublished, of the most recent investigations. This purpose has been carried out in the present paper, the publication of which as a Farmers' Bulletin is hereby recommended, superseding no. 216.
