WORK OF THE WEEVILS
In Spite of Their RsyageS Cotton in South
Texas is fruitiRg Nicely.

j r. Henry, local representative e
of the cotton agency of George Me-
Fadden d Bros, has returned from
South Texas where he spent a
month inspecting the cotton crop
, and observing the methods being
employed to destroy the boil Wee
wills. The chief object of Mr.. Hen
ry's trip to that section of the state
| was to make careful survey of
the situation with a view TO estab.
fishing number of cotton buying
agencies. The McFadden people
had no buyer in that section of the
| state last season on account of the
destructive work of the weevils, AT
present they do not maintain a sim
gle agency between Waxahachie
and Hearne. Mr.. Henry will go to
to that part of the state again in
about two weeks to make a final in
spection OF the crop and if condi-
tions look encouraging buyers will
be located at a number of points
along the line of the Central.
Mr.. Henry sard to a reporter tor
this paper this morning that barring
the ravages of the weegil the gener-
al crop conditions in Limestone
county were good. The corn crop
is unusually fine and other crops
in that section give promise OF
fair yield. Mr.. Henry says that in
spite of the work Of the boil weevils
cotton is well advanced and is fruit
ing nicely, large per cent of the
crop having passed the weevil stage.
He says different methods are being
used to destroy these pests but the
one appearing to him as the most
effective was to burn them. This,
he says, is done by the farmers GO
ing through the fields, picking up
squares that have fallen from the
stalks, carry them to the end of the
rows and then burn them. Every
square falling off contains either an
egg or young weevil and by burn
ing them the pest is absolutely de-
stroyed. Crude oil, Paris Green and
other poisons are being used to good
advantage. Mr.. Henry says the
Paris Green is effective in destroy
ing the weevil that has left the
square and taken up his habitation
on the plant. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Henry that better crop of
cotton viii be made in South Texas
this year than was gathered last
season. He THINKS boil worms are
more Ia be feared this year than
weevils, and already farmers are
adopting means for destroying them.
A large number of lamps are being
burned in the fields and TO these the
millers which produce the worms
are attracted and destroyed, Mr.,
Henry says cotton is beginning to
open ia the neighborhood of Nava-
sofa and he thinks the crop will be- /
gin to move in that section by July /
10.
Mr. Henry has not yet made an
inspection of the Ellis county crop, F.
but he expects to make number of f.
trips to the country at an early /
date. He Igives it as his opinion /
that the crop in this county is two /
weeks earlier than last year, and be !
expects the first bale to be received
in Waxahachie between the first and
fifth of August.
