August 31 and September 1, 1953 In one known case where there are grafted trees of bearing age, the nuts are regularly destroyed by weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 I can remember way back when I'd go into a store and buy a lot of these Paragon chestnuts in New York City in the finest grocery store, and they were crammed full of weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 If you are not equipped to spray, you can reduce weevil injury about 50 percent by jarring the limbs of the trees lightly and gathering the weevils on a sheet during the period of emergence. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 The boll weevil prevented the above late cotton from making a single boll. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z The first type of damage often passes unnoticed and is due to the feeding of early emerging weevils, which puncture the immature nuts with their long lancelike beaks to feed on the juices within. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Insect Pests The two chestnut weevils are the principal insects attacking the nuts. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 Now, the chestnut blight came, and it has about annihilated the weevil, because there was no chestnut to weevil in. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The dislodged weevils will remain quiet on the sheet long enough to be picked up and destroyed. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 After the squares begin to form, it is hardly practicable to pick the weevils off. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z Since all nuts punctured in this way before the shell-hardening period drop to the ground, the entire crop may be lost if weevils are abundant and the crop is light. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Surely that method would be adaptable to chestnut orchards to control the weevil. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 As happened last year, we sprayed twice for the weevils, August 14 and September 8, with excellent results. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Begin jarring about the last week in July and confine it to two or three trees until the first weevils appear.

How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z The second type of damage is generally noticeable at harvest-time in October and November, and in seasons when large numbers of weevils have been present practically the entire crop may be wormy at harvest. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 In preliminary work carried on by the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine at Beltsville, DDT has given very encouraging results in the control of the weevil. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 Collect all the nuts, and you collect all of the weevil larvae. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916.

Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 Attempts to Destroy Weevils with Poison: In territory newly infested with the boll weevil, attempts continue to be made to destroy the weevils by poisoning. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z Since the weevils do not feed very much on the outer surface of developing pecan nuts, stomach poisons applied to trees have been of little practical value in control. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 We had one disappointment this year, in that our method of controlling the weevil was not completely effective. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 Curiously enough, the common chestnut weevil, that had become very abundant, has disappeared locally with the disappearance of our American chestnut, and has not attacked our chinquapins. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. Most of the small weevils require two years to complete development, and most of the larger weevils but one year. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 The most conspicuous indication of the presence of the boll weevil is the flaring of the square. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z However, pecan growers who wish to make the effort can time the first application accurately by spreading a sheet on the ground beneath an infested tree and lightly jarring the branches to dislodge the weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 We do not particularly fear the weevil as we are sure that spraying, and fumigation will clean them up; after that proper harvesting should control them. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 Around Washington the chinquapin is a weed tree, and if you gather a peck of chinquapins you will find that the whole peck, in two weeks, have turned to weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. Some control of these weevils can be obtained by collecting and destroying the infested nuts before the larvae leave them to enter the soil. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 When the weevil punctures a square, it turns yellow and the bracts flare open. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z When the weevils are disturbed they fall and "play possum" and can be easily collected. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 The weevil moth works so well in dense woods that rarely are the nuts good there. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 If you have an orchard of chinquapins and collect all the nuts you will soon dispose of the weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. With some of our work with chestnut weevils, mites seem to be a little more abundant where we used DDT. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 There are a few characteristics, however, that will assist anyone in separating the boll weevil from the numerous other weevils that are often mistaken for it. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z When a minimum of six weevils can be taken by jarring the branches on any one tree, it is time to make the first application. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 So far I have found no weevils in this hybrid. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report Wooster, Ohio, September 3, 4, 5, 1946 That is the only way that I know of for disposing of the weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. Spraying with DDT for weevils was done on August 18th and September 3rd in 1952 with good results.

How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z GRAVATT: There is literature available from the Bureau of Entomology in Washington on spraying to control pecan and chestnut weevils. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Fruit blight threatens to be serious this year, says a daily paper, and drastic action should be taken against the apple weevil. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 158, 1920-05-19 You can pick out the weevil chestnuts fairly well if you toss all of the nuts into a cup of water and pick out the ones that float. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. Several species of borers are found attacking the trunks, the twig girdler severing the tips of twigs, the shuck worm and case-bearer affecting the husk, and the pecan weevil affecting the nuts. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 The weevils do not multiply until the squares begin to form. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z Spraying with DDT in middle August and the first week in September has controlled the weevils successfully. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 A very good plan is to make an imitation apple of iron and then watch the weevil snap at it and break off its teeth. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 158, 1920-05-19 These nuts have thicker shells than other chestnuts, are much less subject to attacks of the chestnut weevil and preserve their fresh and inviting appearance longer when gathered. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Seventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. September 8 and 9, 1916. I have some that have been stored for three years, and the weevil gets into the seed, but it doesn't seem to affect it. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 During the winter, destroy the rubbish in and about the fields, which might serve as hibernating quarters for weevils. How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory 2010-12-24T03:00:31.740Z While this treatment probably will not kill all the weevils it will insure a much larger percentage of germination than there would be otherwise. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifteenth Annual Meeting New York City, September 3, 4 and 5, 1924 This devil of a cigar has been bored by a weevil, and was broken winded till I stopped the leak. A Son of the Immortals It was mouldy and full of weevils, and had been condemned as ship's stores and sold to some camp followers, but to us at half a crown a pound it was a treasure. Letters of Lt.-Col. George Brenton Laurie (commanding 1st Battn. Royal Irish Rifles) Dated November 4th, 1914-March 11th, 1915 We have found in storage that weevils get in these seeds, but the weevil doesn't destroy the carbohydrates, and the weevil will only pierce the seed and make a hole in it. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn.
