A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The president of the Texas Cotton
Growers Association and the Calves
ton Cotton Exchange has issued a
circular calling attention to the raw
ages of the Mexican weevil 10 the
State of Texas, aud pointing out the
danger of the pest spreading even to
other States unless the proper steps
are taken to check its ravaqes.
The Galveston Cotton Exchange
has adopted resolutions calling upon
the government to secure from Con
gress the authorization OF the expend-
itnre of $50, 900 by the Department
OF Agriculture in systimatic cam
paign against the weeveI. 1t is
pointed out that the pest is too wide
ly distributed to he fought by pri-
waite enterprise. Moreover the dang
YER of the weevel extending to other
cotton States and thus threatening
the entire cotton industry makes it
essential that the government should
take steps to eradicate it before its
ravages spread further than they do
at present.
The Mexican boil weevel has been in
evidence in he cotton section of South
weston Texas for several seasons
and although spasmedic efforts have
been made to fight it, il has not vet
been found possible TO eircumscribe It's
ravages. The National Department If
Agriculture has carefully studied the
weevi and is fully posted as to its
habits and rayagcs as well as to the
best methods of fighting 1t with view
to its total determination
irhe Department. however. can do
little in the absence of an adequate APP
preparation, which the Texas interests
are now urging Congress to make.
While Texas has n more intimate and
direct interest ia the determination of
the boil wevil than any other State, be-
cause 1T the fact that. its ravages have
so far been confined to her territerv,
there can be no overlooking the fact
that unless checked, the weevi is sure
to steadily spread until the pest in
vades the other cotton States. The
light To exterminate he weevil is.
therefore,. matter which interests the
utire cotton belt. hence the eifors now
, sing made By the cotton interests of
I .xas to secure action on the part of
h general government should re- |
eiv'a the cordial support of all the 9TH |
I 'ofton- growing States.
L, ne ravages of the weevil have been |
0 8, me measure checked BY the local
tfor is which have been made To keep |
owl, the pest. but it is admitted that I
hese efforts have not served to check I
he gradual extension of the area
Heets d. and the tendency is uumis.
akabhe in the direction of constantly
'idenbng sphere of operaions for the
'eeyii
Such being the case, systematic
nd scientific campaign against the
est canHot be undertaken too soon.
IS it is a matter OF national interest, it
but right that the fight against the
ieevii shcnld be waged by the Nation
department of agriculture This
sed not discourage purely local
aorts, rs the local authorities can
ssiiy cooperate with the Agricultural
