BOIL WEEVIES ON THE TECHE'
Hi. Ozenae Mara4u Says they Are Mare pleRsI.
iui Nov than Last Season at this Time.

Mr.. 0zeme Moreau, a prominent
farmer Of the Prairie Basse section
Of the The Teehes country, while
paying a visit to his friend Mayor
Halphen Tuesday, reported the pres
enee Of boil Weeyils in large numbers
in his neighborhood.
He fears that he will not make
enough cotton t. pay for the seed he
planted. But" said Nj. Moreau, z
planted precious little cotton, and in
that I am glad Mr.. Moreau lives
near the woods, and this fact makes
his place . special prey to the pest,
as they hibernate in the woods and
on getting out strike Mr.. Moreaus
plantation. He planted a large corn
crop, with potatoes and truck, and
notwithstanding the presence Of the
WeeYil he IS not at all worried over
the crop outlook.
The Weevils in that section. he tells
US, are more numerous now than they
were at this time last season. although
last season he made but eleven bales
of cotton N a patch that brought
him tWenty-seVen bales the year pre-
vious.
All Of the farmers Of his section
(about five miles from opelousas) he
tells US are veil enough provided with
other crops to stand the total loss Of
the cotton crop.
All Of which shows that this coun-
try can thrive even if Beevils we're as
thick as mosquitoes.
