The Boil Weevil.

The following issued from the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, is not very encouraging,
aud shows the serious danger to
which the cotton sections of Lou
isiana are menaced:
Nv. ID. Hunter, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who is in
charge of the cotton boil weevil
investigation is preparing to re-
turn to Texas, where he declares,
the problem Of weevil extermina-
ton is far from solution.
sour latest reports" said Mr..
Hunter, "show that the weevil this
year has made his customary adj
vance of fifty miles eastward. The
unfavorable part of the present 81
tuation is that the late advance
puts the pest in the lowlands along
the Mississippi river, where con-
ditions are most favorable to its
existence.
an Texas the low, wet sections
suffered most. Iu Western Lou
isiana there was belt in which
no cotton was grown-a great tim.
Der belt. We endeevored to keep
the boil weevil from getting past
this belt, but have failed. The
Mississippi river cannot be regard
ed as a barrier. as the weevils
have been known to fly twenty-five
miles with a favorable wind, and
as there is much trafic on the
stream it is sure to be carried in
baggage.
Along the Mississippi river is
where the greatest damage will be
done. All The Southern States
will bt, affected unless SEINE new
thing is discovered"
