Adele Garrison presents a feature in which a tense roadside interview with Steve, a violent, cunning man, unfolds. The wife narrator asserts control, warns of police, and tests the man’s intent as Lee Chow’s presence and surveillance shape the confrontation.
Nationwide interest grows in the North Louisiana–originated boll weevil control using specially built airplanes to dust calcium arsenate over cotton. Trials from 1922 onward show rapid coverage, contract farming, aerial field photography, and near total effectiveness, with work coordinated by local firms and pilots dusting fields after loading poison from accessible storehouses.
A new dusting system led by a female general aims to spray cotton fields at low altitude with aircraft. The program charges about seven dollars per acre for five applications, promising lower costs than traditional methods. Planes fly 5 to 25 feet high at 80 to 99 mph. North Louisiana outcomes this year are highly anticipated and may spark nationwide adoption in cotton regions.
