DEATH FOR ecLL wEEvrL.
Inventor Has Machine He Claims VIII
Crush Out Evil

Crush Out Evil.
Because OF the great extent of the
ravages of the cotton boil weevil and
the rapidly extending area of its opera
tions, considerable attention has been
lately directed toward the extermina-
tion OF that persevering pest There
nre some who contend that the prom

thus keeping down the number Of the
worms to the minimum.
A Texas inventor now comes to the
front with a machine with which he
hopes to crush out the national null
sance. and in explanation OF his
scheme he has the following to say:
THE weevil commences It's ravages
upon the cotton plants by depositing

rows OF the plants. and from these
bolls full grown weeyls in great
abundance will be produced in about
seventeen days and attack and des

ITO prevent the Matching Of the

production Of means for destroying

them where they lie upon the ground.
