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.
