Comparison of Cotton Crop and Season in 1925 and This Year
County Agent C. L. Benson notes this year's cotton may reach 20 000 to 25 000 bales, far above last year's 9 000, but behind normal due to timely planting delays and heavy rains. Infestations by cotton flea, leaf worm, and boll worm hinder yield, with boll worm hardest to control. Degelia reports renewed flea activity and aims to prevent a second outbreak. overall Brazos Bottom suffers more from pests than upland farms, though some sandy hill areas may exceed prior expectations.
