SPREAD OF BOIL WEEVIL.
Enemies introduced to Fight It-Effect
on Southern Farming.

The boil weevil is undoubtedly the
most serious menace the cotton planter
has ever faced. Until it arrived there
was apparently nothing to prevent a
steady increase in cotton production an
swering to the charging demands of the
world, as it was generally held that
within the area now devoted to cotton
raising there could be produced double
the present crop. This bright outlook
faded before the weeyil, although the
earlier apprehensiOns of a possible aban-
donment Of cotton raising as u result of
it's rayages have subsidized.
In 1895 the weevil was not known in
this country outside of d few counties
on the southern Texas coast. BY 1903
it had extended northward over much of
eastern Texas, and in October of that
year it established isolated colonies in
Louisiana. By 1906 the enemy had en-
tered nearly all of the cotton counties Of
Texas. had overspread Louisiana and
was present in parts of Oklahoma and
Arkansas. and it has since invaded Mis-
sissipp.
Some idea of the damage wrought may
he obtained from a comparison of yield
in ten counties that were free from the
weevil in 1899. but badly infested in
1902. The yield in the latter year was
only Al per cent. ais great as in the for
mer.
The pest is hard to exterminate on ac-
count of its habits and rapidity of
growth and multiplication. As it's name
indicates. the boil weevil passes nearly
all of its life in the fruit of the plant
and cannot be reached with poisons
From egg to adult stage requires but
fourteen days, and q single pair will lay
enough eggs in a season to produce 1874,
100000 individuals.
Much good was expected from the in
PRODUCTION of the Guatemalan ant in its
own country the natural enemy of the
weevil. but this importation succumbed
to changed climatic conditions. A native
ant. however, known as Solenopsis gem
inata and which travels up and down
the cotton stalk. has taken issue with the
weevil, first fighting him as an inter
lOper and later hunting him out as au
article of diet. According to the bureau
Of entomology, Solenopsis geminata is
responsible for the destruction of more
than half the weevils that fall before
their various natural enemies. Good re
suits have followed the introduction of
new cultural methods, such az burning
the cotton stalk in the fall as soon as
possible after the last Of the crop has
been gathered. and by inducing speedy
maturity Of the following seasons crop
through early planting and the use Of
fertilizers.
One beneficial effect of the weeviI has
been the increased attention gwen 10
diversified farming in many sections
where this had been too much neglected

How Doe Saved Fawn.

The following auecdote is related by
NJ. Y. Raspail. 1t Is worthy of com
parison with the most remarkable in
stances of the same kind The author
one day perceived a doe in fun flight be
fore two dogs in the Aigle woods that
form part of the forest of Chantilly.
The doe was accompanied by very
young fawn, which appeared quite ex-
hausted and ready to drop. The mother
doubtless well aware of this, slackened
her pace and presently stopped close to
some thick brambe bushes. She re-
manned some time there with lowered
head. as If awaiting the onset of her
pursuers. Suddenly an idea seemed to
strike her, and with a butt of her head
she tossed her fawn right into the mid
die of the thicket. Then. advancing gen
thy, as If to make sure ii was wen hid
den, she soon set off by rapid bounds in
front of the dogs The latter barking
close upon her heels, she made sudden
bend. and thus drew them far from the
spot where this incident occurred. The
bowling of the dogs became fainter. the
valiant animal having doubtless led
them two kilometers away into the Ga
nardiere peat boys, where the dogs often
lose the scent. In fact. later they were
seen returning to the village in an tx-
hausted condition. while the intelligent
mother doubtless returned to the bushes
to find the little fawn she had so cleverly
hidden and placed in safety-Bulgarisa
