Homer Owens has already har vested 28 bales of cotton from 34 acres. There is no question but what he will pick a bale or more per acre. S. D. Brewington, Ware Shoals, came to the County Agent’s office with a quart fruit jar full of boll weevil and boll worm damaged bolls several weeks ago, stating that .he is convinced that in, the future it will be unprofitable for any farmer to plant cotton unless recommended practices of boll weevil control are followed. He stated that he had ap plied one application of sweet poison in early spring that was washed off by rain the following day. No fur ther poi ns on applied. He stated to the County Agent that he is satisfied that he will not produce over 200 pounds of seed cotton from three ac res. This gives a comparison of what has happened in the boll weevil situ ation.
