on the appearance of a few sporadic

Baton Rouge, La: Wilmont Newell.
state entomolOgist. with headquarters
in Shreveport, tibet domicile of the
Crop Pest Commission, spent Friday
in Baton Rouge in consultation with
officials. Mr.. Newell said the crop sit
uation in Louisiana, so far as the boil
weevil is concerned, is good. Since
his last visit to the city the weevil has
been found in the parishes of Sabine,
Vernon and De Soto, but up to the
present the damage to the cotton crop
by the insect has been small. Mr..
Newell said:
1.-The weevil has not made its ap-
pearance in any Of the, sections in
which 1t operated last year, and be-
lieve that 1t was entirely exterminated
in those parts during the extreme cold
weather last winter.
I'VE have found the weevil this year
in western Sabine, Vernon and De So
to parishes, but the damage done up to
the present has been limited. Those
farmers who have followed the COM
missions suggestions and planted an
early cotton crop, and not tried to cul-
tivate more land than they could han
die. will do practically swell this
season as any other. Those farmers
who have not tried the intense cultiva-
ton methods, and have not planted
their cotton early, are suffering from
the weevil.
The charter of the Baton Rouge
Realty Company, limited, was filed on
Friday with the clerk and recorder OF
the parish. The capital stock Is $780,
