LOUISIANA FRIGHTENED.
Has Appropriated $4,000 to
Fight Boil WeeVil.

louisiana has become frightened at
the boil weevil and has raised purse
OF S25, 900 to fight him with. 1t is said
the weevil is spreading both north and
east at the rate of so miles year. At
that rate it won't be many years before
it reaches Alabama and Georgia, pro-
vided it can afford to put up with such
fare as it would get here. 1t is the
opinion of some-those most acquaipt-
ed with the insect-that it would not
thrive in this country as it is adapted
to very rich and deep soil. While we
have one of the best all round sections
on earth we could not as we'll afford
the boil weeVil as Texas and Louisi-
ana.
