Newell Denies Weevil Panic In Dooly County
State Entomologist Wilmon Newell reports no foundation for a Mexican boll weevil scare in Dooly county. Cotton bolls from W. H. J. Carmack’s field showed boll worm damage, not weevil, with parasitic insects observed. Newell advises plowing and harrowing to destroy overwintering pupae and recommends early cotton varieties and wider row spacing to reduce future losses.
