Uni versity of Arkansas, because the sweet potato weeyil destructive in sect which is spread by being carried sweet potato slips. has long been known to occur in Texas and Louis jana and is now dangerously close to the Arkansas line and may prove dangerous menace to Arkansas sweet potato growers.

Sweet potatoes may become so badly infested that they are rejected even by hogs, and weevils may be cone numerous enough in a field so as to make the crop a total failure.
 In order to avoid the introduction of this pest the State Plant Beard a, it's meeting held in Rogers, Ark. on March 18th enacted most drastic rules which call for the destruction of all sweet potato slips and other products coming into the state and found to be infested with the weevii; consequently, the safest plan is to buy the home grown products and thps stop shipments from questionable
