Mexican Boil Weivel.


 Reports have been printed to the effect that the Mexican boil weevil has appeared in three Mississippi counties and in one Alabama county, but these reports have not been verified, and they are not accepted by the depart ment of agriculture at Washington. The department has investigated sev- eral similar reports, and in no instance has the pest been discovered outside of Texas. The later reports will be estigated, but it expects to find no boil weevils of Mexican origin in either Mississippi or Alabama.
 The officials of the department have endeavored to fight back the devastat- ing insects, but they have been able to check them only by inducing the plant CTS to plant early and cultivate their cotton fields well, the object being to hasten Lne crop, so that all plants can be burned in the first week of October, thus sacrificing the top crop. This is the best the department can accom- plish. This plan keeps down the num- Der of insects, and enables the Texas farmers to make a fairly good crop. More than this is not considered feasi- ble. as no known remedy will keep the weevil from the growing plants.
 It is the opinion of the department O. agriculture that the entire cotton belt will be overrun by the insects, and that the question of sufficient supply of cotton will then be a press inC one. When the entire cotton belt is infested by the Mexican plague, 1t will be well-nigh impossible to grow great crop, or even crop of current proportions, and crop as low as ten million bales will hereafter mean cotton famine.
 It is not probable that the insect has left Texas. It is less probable that it gas crossed the Mississippi river, and it IS not likely that It shall do so this year. 1t will be due in Alabama in 190o or 1906, and un. human cum ming devises some remedy against 1t, it will march steadily on to the sea- covering f, it's course the entire cot ton belt.
