Local Farmers Study Pink Boll Worms In Robstown Area
County Agent H L Cook and Otto Maha of Poth toured Robstown on Monday July 81 to inspect cotton fields with 16 percent pink bollworm infestation.

Pickers are abundant and harvest should finish soon barring weather delays. Last year pink bollworms appeared in gin trash in Wilson County, underscoring need to prevent further spread.
