Farmers Pessimistic About Cotton Prospects in Alabama
Alabama farmers report slim cotton prospects after a tough year with boll weevils and bad weather. State crop reports warn of a harvest far below last year’s bumper yield, with yields possibly the lowest since 1941. County agents note widespread damage and uneven results across counties, though some fields show potential for moderate returns.

Houston County cotton crop slumps from weevils in Alabama
County agents A Rew and JC Ling estimate nearly 5 000 bales, about half the expected crop, due to cotton boll weevils. Beller farm practices mitigate losses while Ling warns the county may produce only about half a crop. Last year yielded 11 600 bales from 25 000 acres. Ling projects 15 000 bales from 35 000 acres. Jimmie Lee Pierson, a Houston County inmate, will be transferred to Jefferson County for a grand larceny trial after a burglary at Griffin Sandwich Shop on August 1. A note on cooking beef liver suggests cooking at a moderate heat for a short time.
