The progress of the insect to the
east will be more rapid than to the
north because of climatic conditions
but the experience thus far acquired
seems to indicate, according to the ag'
ricultural department experts, that the
boil weevil will eventually overcome
any climatic barriers. The only ex
ception to this is the high open plains
of western Texas.
