THE BOIL wEEvIL PROBLEM.

Col. Lawrence w. Youmans Gives an
Intelligent Idea Of Il.
Col. Z. w. Youmans was in town
Thursday night and Friday and gave
a better understanding of the boil
weevil problem than all the newspa-
pers put together have done. While in
attendance at the Shreveport conven-
tion he not only listened to the speech
es, but mixed up with the best people
Of the Southwest, and got bottom facts.
In Central and Southern Texas the
boil weevil Is master Of the situation,
monarch Of all he surveys. Last year
he cut down the Texas crop three
quarters Of a million bales. But for
his ravages the crop would have footed
up four million bales In Texas, Indian
Territory, etc.
Many farmers and negroes have
moved from the boil weevil section
higher north and west and gone to
cotton raising on new lands.
In the Brazos county, where a bale
to the acre was the old time regular
rule 1t will now take fifteen or more
acres to make bale. The boil weevil
sees to 1t that no cotton natures after
July. To show how disastrous Its raw
ages he was reliably told that white
women Of culture and few years ago
well to do had to quit their homes and
go outside the weevil territory to pick
cotton to get the means to buy food.
Rents in the towns have fallen to one
fourth of former rates and many stores
are unoccupied. People who have not
run from the insect enemy are trying
to make livings by raising truck. grain,
etc. The entomologists say that there
is no way yet known to destroy the
weevil, and that 1t Is as certain as
anything future can be to reach all
the cotton growing south In a few
years.
The weevil is equipped with whole
carpenters outfit, an auger with which
he bores into the form or boil. chisels
