Movement Of the Boil Weevil ii

Louisiana.
the Picaynne bureau at Baton
Rouge sends out the following state
ment rs coming from State Entomol-
ogist Newell and concerning the move
ment of the boil weevil in Louisiana:
IAN earlier migratory movement
of the bon weevil than ever before in
the history of the infection in this
State is anticipated by the officials
of the Crop Pest Commission, owing
to the heavy Infection in the western
portion Of Louisiana.
Wilmon Newell, State Entomolo-
gist, says that the weeyils are now
very heavy along the Sabine river, in
the western portion of the State.
Around Mansfield the Injection is
about 60 per cent, around Logans-
port it is about so per cent and
around Many, in Sabine parish, the
injection is as high as so per cent.
In some of the parts of Sabine the in
lection has reached it's maximum,
which will almost prohibit the devel-
opment of new bolls on the crops.
Because of this heavy injection at
this season." said Wilmon Newell,
State Entomologist, II think that
the migratory movement of the wee
vii to the east will begin much earlier
than usual, and the Commission
looks for some movement the last of
this month.
1.-The infection is, OF course. not as
bad in Rapides, Grant and the other
parishes that are pow on the outer
edge OF the injected territory, and
the movement there Will not be as
heavy and as early as in the western
portion OF the State"
