The Mexican Boil Weevil.

The control of the Mexican boil
weevil in the cotton fields of Texas
is one of the problems which the
Agricultural Department is seeming
to solve. These enemies to the cot
ton plant first appeared in the United
States in Texas in 1901, coming from
Mexico. Their record there in 2 years
shows that they are capable of becom-
ing the most destructive pests in the
country. It is feared that they may
get over into Louisiana and from
there on to the balance of the cotton
States. Congress appropriated $780,
600 to investigate the matter, and
on two farms upon which expert
ments have been made, the attempts
at control we're very satisfactory.
An agent has been sent to Mexico
to study the habits of the insect.
and if possible to discover it's natural
enemies and introduce them into the
affected districts of Texas.

that I may tell your readers about
some day.
The bean crop is something of a
lottery. A heavy rain often auses
thousands of dollars of loss to farm
ers They spoil quickly on the
ground. I've known them to sell for
twenty-five cents a bushel when dam
aged. Good beams have brought
right around two dollars for a year.
Some heavy growers who held for
more last winter are now selling at
$1.70 to $1.9O, with a prospect of
lower prices. The crop bids fair as
this is written.
The amount of seed varies, but
half a bushel per acre seems to be
about right with us. The yield runs
from ten to thirty bushels per acre,
and the price will average ten to
twelve shillings. No great wealth
compared with Carolina cotton and
bright tobacco, but bean growers
manage to skate along comfortably
in our bitter winters and have a little
bank account to warm up hope and
happiness. III.
