D. J. White brought to our of-
fice Monday a bottle containing
a lot of boll weevils, which he
found in his cotton. He says
they are becoming plentiful in
his neighborhood, though it is
hardly likely they will do much
damage this late in the season.
The boll worms, however, are
said to be making considerable
inroads on the cotton in some
localities.
