DISCOVERS WAY TO
DESTROY BOIL WEEVILN

Joseph Reaux, a farmer living
at Pan Perdu, Vermilion parish
has an effective way of destroying
the boil weevil During the
month of June he places on the
turn rows in the center of his cot
ton patch, several large tubs half
full Of water. Across the tubs be
puts a six-inch board and on this
b. places a lantern with good
light. He does this during "tbe
dark of the moon" ana the weevil
and other insects are attracted in
large numbers to the bright light,
strike the sides of the lantern, fall
into the water and are drowned.
He repeats this for several nights,
during the dark nights of each
month, and as result claims that
his field is slngularfy exempt from
all appearances of the boil weevil.
