Mobile, october Especial l-The boil weevil has spread 73 miles in south Alabama this season and its migration has not yet ended. For the next three weeks 1t will be on the move and the extent of its migration will be the greatest eyer known in a single season. Now 1t is 20 miles fur ther than the previous record.
 This Is the statement of J. A. Dew, assistant state entomologist, who was in Mobile. Saturday having just re- turned from a lengthy stay in the boil weevil infested territory of Alabama. He found the weeyil two miles beyond Florala, and predicts that before frost the entire area of Coyington county will be covered by the pest.
 ''The boil weevi will be in Georgia bv the end of next season. is his con- fident prediction.
 Mir Dew says that the weevil has spread less in west Alabama than in south Alabama. Last season the line was at Myrtlewood. in Marengo coun- ty. Pine 1Iill in Wilcox county, Repton in Conecuh county. This year Mir. Dew says the line has extended east to Thomas ston in Marengo county, Cam

 den in Wilcox county. two miles be- yond Georgiana in Butler county and two miles east of Florala. By looking at the map it will be seen how much greater the migration has been at the south than at the north, and the infes- tation is heavier in the south, it is said, than it is In the north. Several counties not hitherto infested will be covered by the weevil before the sea- son ends, says Mir. Dew.
 The next few months MT Dew will be in Baldwin county in the citrus orchards taking field notes of the vari- ous insect pests and making sugges- tions to the growers for their control. He may also do some work of this nature in Mobile county. While the orchard interests are yearly growing in importance.
 MT. Dew is very much interested in seeing an insect field station estab- lshed in Mobile county near this city, at which trained etomologist will be located to make experiments in the control of the many insect pests that live on the citrus trees and nut trees of the south. There Is no such station on the gulf coast and every year the growers are demanding more and more help from the experiment station at Auburn which cannot be given them for many reasons.

RATES REDUCED ON
 TWO ALABAMA ROADS
Boil Weevil Reported Steadily Ap- preaching Alabama From Mississippi


 carrollton October G. Special )--Ef- fective October 15. the passenger rate over the lines of the Alabama. Tennessee and Northerr railway and the Tombig- bee Valley railroad controlled by John T. Cochrane. will be reduced from cents to cents per mile. Mileage books will also be issued in $ and SIS denomina- tions. good for 200 and 800 miles at the rate of 3 cents per mile.
 From reports received from across the river near the Mississippi line the boil weevil has made his appearance in that section and is gradually encroachng upon Alabama. With favorable weather conditions throughout the winter we can safely predict that this great destroyer of the cotton crop will be among us the coming year. The people have made no arrangements for his coming and no doubt great losses will be the result from his depredations within the next two wears.
 The Baptists of this city are making the necessary arrangements for the erec- :, ton of an annex to the building, to be used for a Sunday school room. This is {! a want that has long been felt by the members of this denomination and it IS very pleasing to the superintendent of 1 the Sunday school. w. G. Robertson, who has so long filled this place.
