An appropriation was made by the
last legislature of $4,000 and given
to the A. & M. College for use in fight
ing the boil weevil. The weevil has
greatly damaged the cotton crop in
Texas during the past few years, and
if there was probability of being
able to check the ravages of the pestif-
erous little fiend, this would Nave
been all right, but as the weevil is
distributed by bug that flies as well

as sensible to try to check the i'm

Sunfower county is wrestling with
the good roads question and is finding
dificulty in. settling it, as has num-

from the fact that when the matter

dropped until some solution has been
made. The State needs better roads
and must have them by some plan and
