LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY,
Waslington, D. C., March 18, 1901.
SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for
publication as a Farmers' Bulletin, the manuscript of a report on The
Mexican Cotton-Boll Weevil, prepared by Prof. F. W. Mally, 'State
Entomologist of Texas. The report deals with the methods found by
him to be most practicable in destroying the pest, and which he recommends
for general application. Actual tests upon large plantations are
said to have proven the efficacy of the suggestions made by the author
in affording relief from serious ravages by the weevil.
Very respectfully,
L. O. HOWARD,
Jntomnologist.
Hon. JAMES WILSON,
Secretary.
