WORMS KILL WEEVILS
WHY LATEST PEST is NOT IN THE
DELTA THIS YEAR.
An Interesting Explanation Of How Raw.
ages Of Army Worm Starved the
Weevils During Hot Weather
Last Year.

Jsckson.-The total absence Of the
Mexican boil wcevil in the northern nor.
ton Of the delta this year ha. furnished
theme for much interesting specula.
tion among agricultural experts, and a
very plausible explanation of the disap-
pearanee of the pest is offered by DR.. X.
V. Powers, of this city, who owns large
planting interests in the delta.
The wccyil has disappeared simply
because he was starved out last year"
says nr. Powers. at will be recalled
that the ravsgcs of the army worm were
exceedingly bad last gear, especially in
the upper counties OF the delta. The
army worm came along just about this
time OF the year, stripping the cotton
absolutely clean, and as a result the boil
weevil actually starved to death, or per
ished beneath the blistcring rays OF the
sun, and none Were left for seed this
year. 1t was literally case Of one pest
destroying another, and, as the army
worm rarely comes two years in success
sion, the result is splendid crops in the
delta this season.
According to reports received here, the
general outlook in the delta is the best
for many years, and some planters de-
clare that the cotton already made is
more than they will be able to pick with
their available labor supply.
