made a trip north of town into what
is known as the old Burton communi-
~ TO inspect the cotton for leaf worm
conditions. Some fields where the
cotton was old and pretty well ma
tured there we're no worms found, but
in fields where the cotton was young
worms were plentiful. but just get.
ting started, and II they are poisoned
at once Of course the cotton can be
saved: but should they not be poison
ed with diligence and great care this
cotton will be cleaned within fifteen
days, and on this young cotton the
crop will not amount to anything. as
there is no matured cotton In II at
all. but plenty Of squares and blooms,
and II It could be saved It will make
at least half bale per acre. Should
no poisoning be done and the worms
are allowed to have their way, 1t was
estimated that take all the cotton
crop over the worms would destroy
/. at least 40 per cent OF the entire crop.
The farmers where the gentlemen
went assured them that they would
poison as soon as the showers of rain
stop.
