Farm Notes reports the Agricultural Adjustment Administration promoting new cotton uses to boost consumption, including membrane coverings for irrigation ditches, hive and crop protection, and roofs for semi permanent structures. It notes pests wintering well, potential boll weevil infestations in southern Texas, and lighter levels in the eastern belt.
