Invasion of Boll Pest
Expected after Flood
! New Orleans, La. May Z, ?
. Hundreds ' of thousands of boll
weevils perished when the Hood
inundated the rich cotton lands
of Arkansas. Louisiana and
Mississippi, but another sjene
I ration of the pests will quick
ly invade the region when the
waters recede, cotton experts
believe.
Lionel Jones, Federal a^riciil
tural statistician. Louisiana
said today that if a cotton crop ;
were planted after the 'reced
ing of the water, the boll, weev
ils in myriads, probably would
infest the region. The weevils
may wreck more destruction
than usual because they will
attack the cotton bolls when
small and retarded by the late
.planting, Jhe added.
