Washington. July t>.?The boll wee-! vil is doomed. The hand of science has at last a death grip on the insidious insec* ; which has spread havoc over the vast cotton fields of the south. Discovery of a practical method of driving out the pest was announced tonight by the department of agriculture. Credit for the discovery goes to B. R.

Mr. Coad has not finally perfected . his "weapon," -hut has developed it j to a point where the department feels j fully warranted in making the official assertion that control of the cotton boll weevil seems to be in a fair wa5r j Df accomplishment by the work of an j entomologist of the department of ag riculture. j The weevil is to go by the poison ' | route. Henceforth when he stops his ! work of puncturing cotton squares! | and -boll and ambles forth to quench ; | his thirst from a dewdrop or raindrop ; i on the cotton plant he is likely to . | encounter a draught that will be as , ! effective as a knockout drop. i Xo doubt as to the effectiveness of this method of execution is entertain- j ed by the department experts. Al-: though not hard drinkers .the weevils regularly quench their thirst bv sipping the rain or dew in drops on 1 the leaves of the cotton plants. The exact composition of the fatal dose is the only detail remaining to be worked out. Various formulas have been tried out with entirely satisfactory results. Mr. Coad now is devoting his attention to the preparation of a mixture that will be the most practicable form an economical point of view.
