No Boll Weevils In Area In April Traps Empty
Reports from the U S Department of Agriculture APHIS indicate boll weevil traps from the Borden County line through Patricia and Andrews to Eunice NM remain empty. Local USDA rep John Meekma says the area is usually slow to show infestation but this year may be no worse than before. Traps are bright yellow cones with pheromone jars set along roadsides. Some counties report weevils but not yet in the area.
