A MUCH MALIGNED BUG
BOIL wEEviL BEARs BLAME NOT
HIS OWN.
DIR. Hunter Hak Looked late the Mat
ter and Says the Boil Worm
In Getting ON Too
Lightly.
Advertiser Bureau.
Colorado Building,
v..A AZ

Colorado Building,
Washington. June Is.
The boil weevii. according to re-
port made by DIR. Hunter. boil weevil
expert of the Agricultural Department
is much maligned bug. In, all the
excitement Incidental to the ravages
attributed to this pest. another insect
equally formidable in destructive
power to cotton. has. he says. been
overlooked. This In the boil worm,
which he declares has been doing much
of the damage that Is now credited TO
the boil weevil
Estimates OF the damage wrought by
the boil weevil, as everybody who is
familiar with the subject. knows. vary
greatly. Some place the damage at
as high q figure as ffty-fve million
dollars. The oficials of the census
once say that II will reach the sum of
forty-nine million dollars. The ex-
perts Of the Agricultural Department
calculate that II will not exceed fif-
teen million dollars.
DR.. Hunter, who IL in charge OF the
boil weevii division OF the department
and who has been making a searching
investigation of the matter. has SUBJ
mitted his views on the subject to his
superior officers, In which report he
points out the manifest discrepancy in
these several estimates. Following
out this line of thought, he declares
that the tendency among cotton plant
ers in the boil weevil infested district,
In the recent past. has been to at
tribute the losses sustained by their
crops OF cotton to the boil weevil when
the boil worm should come in for a
considerable share of the blame.
In illustrating this point, he picks
out nine counties in Texas, in which
the cotton growers of that section
claim that the reduction In the crop
on account of the ravages of the
weevil. has been about 40 per cent. an
nually. He then takes up the report
OF DR.. Quintiance, boil worm expert of
the department. which shows, he points
out, that the damage in the counties
referred to, by reason Of the boil worm
and not the boil weevil, has been from
20 to go per cent, the average loss be-
ing estimated by him at 80 per cent.
DR.. Hunter then proceeds to show
next that the reduction of production
In Texas last year, taking into account
the increase In the crop was less than
the reduction of the production in the
entire country, and much less than the
reduction In the neighboring State of
Louisiana and very much less than in
the cotton country west of the Missis-
sippi River. All of these facts. DIR.
Hunter declares, show conclusively that
the boil weevil has been blamed for
losses that more properly belong TO
climatic conditions and to other I'm
sects. r. H Watkins.

within a few feet OF him, when he
placed his revolver on a Ledge and fired.
