POST & CO. 209 West Trade St. Charlotte, N. C Coral , Baker Music Studios HerT BOLL WEEVIL IS IN THIS COUNTY Pest Reported on Plantation of Sam Alexander in Sharon. Tho advent of the boll weevil into Mecklenburg county, which was report ed last year several times but never actually proven, has apparently taken place at last. The dreaded weevil has been discovered in the upper edge of Providence township and the lower part Sharon (township, according- to several people who have made a care ful examination of the parasites found in the cotton fields. Several days ago the pest, or what was taken to be th epest, was found on the farm of Samuel Alexander in lower Sharon township. ' Several per sons who claim to be thoroughly fa miliar' with the weevil from having seen it in Georgia, Alabama and other Southern states went to the Alexander farm and pronounced the insect there to be the genuine Mexican boll weevil that has wrought havoc in the more southerly states of the cotton belt and that has forced the abandonment of cotton growing in some sections. Mr. Alexander had planned to send a speci men of the pest to the State entomolo gist at Raleigh for examination. The result of this examination has not been reported yet. Several days aj?o The News received from, a visitor a small bottle containing active members of the boll weevil spe cies. The specimens were taken from a cotton field near Pageland. S. C, over the South Carolina line from Anson county. The specimens were identical to specimens of the weevil brought from Georgia fields last season and ex hibited by W. F. Stevens, one of the appraisers of the federal land bank at Columbia, who has made a study of the weevil and its depredations.
