COUNTY FACES
SHORTEST CROP
IN YEARS—CANNON
BURNET R. MATBANK
Laurens county faces one of the
shortest cotton crops in years with
an approximate production of 35 to
40 per cent of last i* the
opinion expressed by County Agent
C. B. Cannon. Last year’s crop was
approximately 35,000 bales.
Mr. Cannon ascribed the low yield
to boll weevil damage, irregular
stands due to the early summer
drouth and to grass left after the
later rains.
The agent said that no one can tell
for sure just what the production will
be at this season, but it is evident
from the report of farmers and from
field observation that the crop wUl
be very short.
Mr. Cannon said that farmers who
applied poison in either the dust or
l^uid form or both can see big re
sults thus far. However, he sai(k poi
soning 'will be of little benefit from
now one dw to weevil migration.
