Editor notes 1200 acres of cucumbers in Pontotoc and Atoka
The editor reports 800 acres signed up on May 1 with about 400 more around Atoka. He estimates 1200 acres could yield 200 to 300 cars if the season is good. A dust spray kills aphids, easing cucumber and melon damage but weather and pests make the crop uncertain. E. C. Rood recommends cyanide dust to exterminate rats and other rodents.
