Weevil-Destroying Ants Feared
Quitman.—Leading cotton farmers
in Brooks county greet with unfavor
able criticism the report that the Ar
gentine ant can be used successfully
to destroy the cotton boll weevil, and
are decidedly of the opinion that the
introduction of the ant in itself would
be a menace to truck farming. Mance
Dees a planter residing near Crystal
' Springs, Miss., for some time has been
experimenting with ways and means
of combating the cotton pest. Mr.
Dees planted two patches of cotton,
on the same farm this season, one of
them in the ground infested with the
ants.
