$75,000 Pledged to Fight the Cotton Boll Weevil
The House Agriculture Committee moved to insert a 75,000 agricultural appropriations item to fund the fight against the cotton boll weevil. Half funds entomology experiments to eradicate the pest, half funds plant industry work to develop a weevil resistant cotton. The bill’s fate is tied to delays and debates over statistics, census data, and related bureaus, with oversight concerns and a push for better data systems.
