BOLL WEEYIL GREAT FOOD FOR TURKEYS. Latest Report Concerning the Pest of Texas Is That It Has a Value. A boom in turkeys is roportod from Texas as a result of the boll weevil plague, and that State, particularly in the boll weovil section, will produce from three to four times as many tur keys as heretofore. The shipment from Giddlngs amounts to 6,000 tur keys. The town had never shipped any before, all those raised there being j used at homo. The raising of the turkeys is the di rect result of the boll weevi', tho farm ers holding that the turkey is a fine bird in the cotton fields, boiug able be cause of his long reach, to get at the top of the stalk during the season of greatest activity among the infects. Then the boll weevil will bo exter minated and the turkeys fattened at the same time. The extermination of birds in Texas la claimed by some to be largely responsible for the increase of the weevil nuisance. The turkey is the only domestic fowl able to get at the weevil easily.
