BOIL WEVll INVADES PARISH

The appearance of a bug re-
sembling the boil weevil along the
northern border of the parish
caused a number of planters
around Carencro and Sunset to
request the State authorities to
send an expert to that section.
Mr.. Garrett. from Calhoun was
sent and after careful examina.
tion he pronounced it the genu-
inc Mexican boil weevil. The
weevil invaded st. Landry last
year and is now advancing from
that parish into this one. Up to
the present no great damage has
been done. Mr.. Ernest Gull
beau, whose field and that of his
neighbors is infested with the
weevil, says that they are pick
ing up the forms and burning
them to destroy the larvae.
If you want stylish, well
finished, well fitting suit that
