RAIN DAMAGE TO

The 3O-hour glut Of rainfall which eis-

The Chamber OF Commerce farm I'm

can do but grin and bear IL" and be
ready to plant just as soon as the soil
dries out sufficiently.
1t is strongly believed that this last
great rain will add much TO the oupoT-
tunities of the weevil for ravaging the
cotton hollis. II will mean very late
cotton and that always is tantamount
to weeeil s%poliation, especially after so
mild a winter as that which ends this
week, The early cotton gets a chance
to fill out its bolls before the weevil
begins to operate, but he is in his full
vigor and ready TO attack the tender,
immature boil Of the later cotton. A
late planting season following a mild
winter Is almost certain to cause big
loss from boil weeyil. "
II was said at the farm bureau Tues.
day morning that the weevil would
probably contribute largely to the ef-
fort to reduce cotton acreage. How
ever, the farm bureau does not believe
It would be sensible for the farmers
of the South to waste acreage In thiq
way and will continue with renewed
