Circular No. 17 of the Mississippi Agricultural Experiment Station (February 1904) by Glenn W. Herrick, introducing the Mexican cotton-boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) to cotton growers. It describes the insect's origin in Mexico and spread through Texas toward Mississippi, estimated crop losses, the adult's appearance, the four-stage life history, overwintering habits, rate of increase, feeding, migration, and the danger of spreading it in cotton seed, hay and baled cotton. Two illustrations show the adult weevils and the larva and pupa stages. It is an agricultural pest bulletin with no weaving content.
