| An insect which crossed the Mex
can border so years ago now causes
an annual loss OF 5000, ,000, 900. 3
The insect is the boil weevil, and
its cost to American agriculture is
described in the annual report of
the Smithsonian Institution, just
released. The section on the boil
weevil was written by the late DR..
U. C. Loftin of the Agricultural De-
partment.
The boil weevil is a reddish brown
little beetle about quarter Of an
inch long. 1t existed in obscurity In
Mexico until it broke over the bor-
der and found an abundant of food
supply in the almost continuous cot
ton fields of the South.
Now its toll is about bale of cot
ton out of every seven produced, or
about 1900 900 a year, and this de-
spite progress in control, the report
says. 1t has put the American cotton
grower at disadvantage in a highly
competitive world market. And
there is evidence it is becoming ac-
climated to the hot, dry climates Of
the Southwest where cotton growing
expanded because of conditions in
