Advertising scheme invites Pontotoc to supply cotton bolls
R E Blanks reports a State Board of Agriculture plan to showcase 50 000 cotton bolls at the Dry Farming Congress in Lethbridge Canada with Pontotoc County supplying 5 000. The aim is cheap advertising to attract western U S and Canadian delegates. Nearby notes from Konawa report healthy cotton but army worms. Public outrage over an Otis Weaver search lacks motive disclosure.
