stumbled upon the trail, or at least

curious TO see if it were not one of
the scouts who had located his hidden
Rlleyway and found his suspicious

PLANS WAR ON
THE BOIL WEEVIL
Secretary Houston Wants More
Funds With Which to Make Bet
ter Fight on Great Enemy to
SOutll's Cotton.

Washington, Jan. 1--Investigation
of the life. history and habits OF the
cotton boil weevil in more thor
ough and comprehensive way than
ever is proposed by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston. He wants
funds appropriated with which to
employ exports of this work in order
to undertake a community expert
ment" in controlling the boil weevil.
Until now practically all efforts OF
the department of agriculture have
been confined to assisting individual
planters.
Efforts Of the new crops of ex-
perts would be devoted to a study
of the different steps iii the control
Of the weevil, the picking of the
squares OF the cotton plant, of en-
couragement Of the parasites of the
weevil, destruction of cotton plants
in the filed, and to determining
where the efficiency of each step
might be increased by some varia-
ton or new process.
Rotation in crops, changes in the
system of handling cotton and plant
ing the cotton wider apart have help
ed in the fight against the weevil,
which has caused millions of dollars
of loss, but his ravages still contjue
and no varieties of cotton are i'm
mune.
