The extent of the agricul tural evolution brought about by the in vasion of the boll weevil is strikingly illtisl rated by a compilation of figures showing receipts of wagon cottwi at sixty intrior market points in the terri tory contiguous to Jackson, as compared with receipts for former years. During the season now drawing to a close, tho receipts of wagon cotton amounted to only 91,601 bales, as com pared with 130,892 bales in 1911, 216,922 bales in 1910, 249,4H0 bales in 1909. and 381,386 bales in 1908. , Theso figures cover t"he period since the boll weevil first invaded Mississippi, and furnish a fair illustration of what cotton growers may expect in other states where the pest has commenced its ravages.
