TO FIGHT WEEVIL PROTECT THE SEA ISLAND
The agricultural department orders all available cotton demonstration workers to southeastern Georgia and Florida to stop the spread of the Mexican boll weevil. The insect has reached near sea island cotton territory aided by the Galveston storm which pushed the pest from Alabama into Georgia in a few days. Normally the migration is about thirty five miles per year. Efforts have long aimed to shield sea island cotton from the weevil as lowlands offer ideal hibernation.
