TIE COTTON PEST.
All Efforts to Exterminate the Boil Weevil
Seem to Re Unavailing-secretary
Wilson's Advice.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Secretary
Wilson, Of the department Of agricul-
ture, was an early caller on the presi-
dent yesterday. He has Just returned
from Texas, where he went to make an
investigation of the condition Of cot
ton and to learn the results of the
fight the planters are making against
the boil weevil. MANY Of the plant
ers are taking the advice Of the agri-
cultural department and are planting
early cotton" said the secretary.
Practically the entire late crop was
destroyed. The weevil has ravaged
much Of the best part Of the Texas cot
ton belt. All efforts to exterminate It
seem to have been unavailing. Efforts
to eradicate the house fly would be
about as efficacious. The only way to
meet the evil apparently is to plant
early cotton and get In the crop before
the weevil has opportunity to destroy
IT."
