This picture Dr. Neuffer now has on display at the County pavings bank. -" ' .? > - The monument, which iis of onze, is in form not unlike the statue of-liberty. THe woman figure bears aloft the emblematic torch of prosperity. The base of the struc ture is surrounded by a fountain. On it is an inscription which reads; "In profound appreciation of the boll weevil and what it has done as the herald of prosperity, this monu ment is erected by the citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County,, Ala bama." i The cotton crop in Coffee' County averaged 30,000 bales for the ten year period before the coming of the weevil. In 1916 the weevil cut the cro per cent. In lityO there was a repetition of 1915. The next yeas the doctrine of diversification was preached, with the% result that 5,000,000 bushels of peanuts were grown that year and In 1918 hogs and cattle Were shipped in train load lots. i farmers < of that connty ratlitaf more money oat of om \ crop of peanuts than thoy had pre- Ia \ '# I ?. / r * * * - Tioutf! gotten ! from, foot; cotton j crop*. *A sow toa pkrw" is now thej slogan and the county ia more pros- P1 perousi than it has been in the!
