Investigation by the Agriculture Department finds the Mexican cotton boll weevil's advance north and east is very slow. The past season shows short crops even where weevil activity is high, with expansion limited to adjacent areas near infested Proven regions. In 1896 growth was modest, and serious spread beyond volunteer cotton belts remains uncertain. Seventy three people joined the Presbyterian church in Topeka during a Sunday service, mostly local families and late residents admitted by transfer cards.
