No Boil WeeviI
In Cotton In
This Section

Considerable. alarm was occasioned
a couple of days ago by the report
that boil weevil had made it's ap-
pearance in the fields near Lakeland
The matter was reported to the Cham
Der OF Commerce, which at once start
ed an investigation, and it is with
great pleasure that we are able to
state that there is no boil weevil in
this section.
Mr.. A. A. Lewis, county agricul-
tural agent, made a careful examina-
ton of the fields said to be infected,
and he found the presence of an in,
sect resembling the boil weevil, but
which is wholly unlike it in its hab-
its, as it feeds principally upon citrus
fruit after the latter has begun to de-
cay. 1t is not particularly harmful,
and not at all so far as cotton is con-
cerned. Mr. Lewis had specimens o.
the genuine boil weevil and compared
them with those found in the fields,
thus satisfying himself entirely that
they are different species.
Growers and the people generally
will be pleased and relieved to learn
that no boil weevil has made it's ap-
pearance hereabouts, and it is hoped
that many more crops will be grown
ere its ravages harass the growers.
