THE BOIL WEEVlL
 IS SPREADING
Government Eutomologist Declares the Cotton Pest Is Multiplying and Now Spreading in Indian
 Territory.

New Orleans, La, June lI- pr. w. D. Hunter, government entomologist and the most enii- uent authority in the werld op the boil weevil, was in the city over night, coming in from Dal- las, Tex, last evening and leaving for Washington at 9 o'clock this morning. Before leaving for Washington, Dr. Hunter said;
 1.-The mild winter and the wet spring have been exceptionally favorable for the weevil, and they have increased amazingly. From my observations and the observa- ton of my assistants. calculate that there are tbirty times more weevils in Texas at this time than there were at this time last year. The propagation of the weevil was materially assisted by the great quantity of "volunteer" cotton in Texas this spring, the winter being so mild that much cotton, even as far up as north Texas, was not killed. The wee vii now extends from San Antonio to the river in Louisiana, and for a distance of 70 miles up into Indian Territory"
