The crux would come, I knew, when
we attempted to embark. I saw that
the Torres natives -finest boatmen in
the Pacific -were hanging on their
oars; I milked that they never took
their round, white -and -black eyes off
Bowen. Doubtless, they understood

THE BOLL WEEVIL.

Industry.
A tiny Insect not more than half
an inch long has delivered a severs
blow to the cotton Industry, for the
cotton crop last season was well be-
low expectations. The insect which
brought about a loss of over a mil-
lion bales in two months, and which
has cost the cotton brokers on the
Liverpool and Manchester Cotton
Exchanges thousands of pounds, la
known as the boll weevil.
This Insect has always been the
Plague of the cotton grower. There
are over 2,000 different species.
white 400 of Its kind are to be found
In the British Isles. Last season
these rapacious insects hare Invaded
as many as eleven counties in Ten-
nessee, and from there they have
spread over most of the cotton -grow-
ing districts of North Carolina, Ar-
kansas, Oklahoma, where the dam-
age to the cotton crops was serious.
The weevil sets about its work of
destruction In deadly earnestness,
and no better example of one of its
favorite methods of working could be
given than the way one of the spe-
cies in England destroys filbert and
hazel nuts. In this hole the Insect
deposits her egg. Once this is ac-
complished she seta about ending
fresh objects to attack.
The young nut continues tn_gr'ow.
and as the shell becomes larger the
small hole made by the parent insect
beeemes almost ohliter tad._,1td the
progeny within 1s left to complete the ,
destruction of th'e kernel. In a simi-
lar mann_ er the boil weevil embeds
Itself in the cotton flowers until tilt
destruction of the entire crop is al-
most certain.
Selectee has advanced rather slow-
ly In the extermination of these
pe•*19, upon which the livelihood of
thousands of cotton work. I's depends,
and no method of kbeolute exterm-
Ination has yet been fpund.
