FIND WAY TO DESTROY
BOIL WEEvL PEST
Government Almost Sure 1t Has
Eradicant for Cotton
Parasite

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.---After twelve
years OF patient scientific investigation the
Department OF Agriculture believes II has
at last discovered method OF destroying
the boil weevil, the parasite which the
department only yesterday reported has
caused this seasons cotton crop virtually
TO be a failure.
The department Is keeping the new
method secret pending final absolute proof
Of Its efficacy. For two years past tests
have shown phenomenal success, according
to department officials. one additional year
of experimentation is desired before the
method is to be given the public with the
assurance that II will destroy the curse OF
the southern planter.
The discovery. II II comes up to expec-
tation. VIII be in the nick Of time. for de-
partment cotton experts admit that nothing
short Of q hard winter will prevent the boil
weevil pest from becoming more destruc-
tive of cotton next season than this
"If we have a hard early frost as far
south as the Gulf coast great numbers of
the parasites will be destroyed" said one
expert today. But IL the W nter be mild
the weevil will multiply prodigiously and
prove even greater burden next season
than II has been this year"
II officially Is admitted that n series OF
mild winters would make cotton growing
unless the newly discovered artificial eradi-
cant Is successful.
The enormous destruction OF cotton this
season. due to the boil weevil directly. Is in
part chargeable 10 the wild hurricane which
swept the gulf coast and the southern
States in the summer of 1915. Department
scientists who have made a special investi-
CATION of the unprecedented spread of the
weevil have reported that the 1915 hurri-
| cane. the one which did so much damage
| at Galveston and other Texas and Louisiana
| coast cities sowed millions of weevils like
grain over thousands of acres of territory
| which heretofore had been free OF the
| destructive insect Followed a mild winter
| and then came spring and summer weather
| unusually favorable to the parasite, ac-
| cording to the scientists report. This re-
| suited in the plague of boil weevils which,
| by causing a short cotton crop has sent
| the price of the staple soaring to a figure
which is bound to affect the pocketbooks of
the ultimate consumers.
