eff the boil weevils don't eat some
of the bolls on my cotton crop, there
will be so much I'll never be able to
gather it, said a we'll known farmer
in The Herald Office the other day,
and he added that his crop was as
good as any he had made in the last
six or seven years. There is already
he said, good crop of almost grown
bolls, if not another boil is produced.
The weevils have not damaged his
crop, he thinks, to any appreciable
degree.

plaster cast, in which it is thought
he will have to stay for at least two
