BOLL WEEVIL MENA0E. Ravages Assume More Alarming Pro. portions--Agricultuxal Depart mont Displays Renewed Activity. W. W. Price in Colu.mbia Record. Washington, Sept. 28.-So alarming have recent attacks of the cotton boll weevil become in some parts of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana to the cot ton crop of this year that L. 0. How ard, head of the bureau of entomology, department of agriculture, has decid ed to leave Washington October 2, for those states, determined to remain there until some definite steps are taken for the eradication of the havoc playing weevil. While M)fr. Howard has beenaware for some time that the weevil was at tacking the cot ton plant in some of the southwestern states with fearful results, he did iot, until a day or two ago have any idea of the damage that I la(d been done during the present i year. le has been informed during Ile last few days by Congressman Wallace, of LaFayette, Columbia coulity, Arkansas, that in one week's time recentlv when an actnal count 1 was kept the weevil traveled 15 miles in one week. That convinced M'r. WNallace that if lie crop in his state was to be saved steps should he tak- I en at once inl the matter. le then in- I formled Mr. Howard at length of the coiiditions existing in his state as well as in some parts of Texas and Louisiana. The result of the corres- I pondence is that Mr. Howard will start to the southwest at the time in dicated prepared to remain in the 1 enemy's territory until lie has either I conquered them or until lie has to give up the fight. I When Mr. Howard arrives in Texas F his first stop will probably be at I)al las or Austin. There he will join "the bool weevil special''--a train that will be imade up of planters who desire to visit the infected districts. s The train will be in charge of %Ir. Hloward. though tle itinarary will largelv be in the hands of the local cotton planters and the railroad peo- t ple in the section visited. The party t will consist of Mr. Howard, railroad 1 officials, cotton planters. and possibly several men froin the bureau of ento- t mologv, department of agriculture. I The officials of the roads in the in feeted territory have given every en-! couragement to the efforts that Mr. Howard is making to determine upon r some effective means for the destrue- i tion of the weevil. t After all infected districts in Texas have been visited andt talks had with. f farmers interested in tle extermina tion of the weevil. the train will then he sent into Arkansas 4,r Louisiana t and the same r11utine will probably he i followed. This will be a campaign (if educa tion and extermination.'' Mr. Howard said tidav. "n10because we want to cdui- 1. ente thle farmers of Texas, Louisiana anid A rkansas--thle territory intot whieb we are gocing-iin the science I (If dealing with the pest that is doinig s thiousaiids of dlollairs damage to then cot ton growers of the country annual- e ly, amid also because we propose to ex terminate the weevil in every possible way.'' (Congressman Wallace is possibly g~ more alarmed than even Mr. Howard and( his assistants over the rapidity with which the weevil is traveling. The calculations recently made by ( him when it was found that the wee vil was traveling at the rate of 15 miles per week--and in his direction -eauses him to believe that unless something is done in his locality at an e'arly d(ate it will be omily a short time unili ! thle great cot ton growing area of1 Texas and oIlier southiwesteirn states will be given over entirely to the ravages of the weevil.
