 Birmingham, Aug 21.-A special from Jackson. Miss, says:
 The Mexican boil weevii is spread ing rapidly in the southwestern sec- tion of the State, and before the end of the present month will cross the western borders of the counties along the Illinois Central Road between Jackson and the Louisiana line. accord ing to the reports of special agents of the United States Department of Ag- riculture. Bureau of Plant Industry, who have been engaged in inspection work during the past week.
 The rapid spread of the weevii is attributed to the wet weather during the latter part of July and the early part of August. the period of precipi- tation followed by high temperatures having been very favorable to the prop agation of the pests.
 That the weevil will reach the west bank of Pearl River before the close of the year, and also extend north ward as far as the southerD part of Hinds County. now seems well nigh assured. Nld the farmers In the infect- ed territory have fully made up their minds that they must cope with the pests during the latter part of the present season and then for an indefin- ite period.
