Control of bull weevil urged in cotton belt
New Orleans March 14 Farmers in the cotton belt are urged to adopt aggressive boll weevil control rather than enlarge plantings. Clarence Ousley, former assistant secretary of agriculture and head of the National Boll Weevil Control Association, says profits rise with better yields per acre and proper control rather than more acres. He warns that 30 cent cotton yields are unprofitable and that disciplined farming and weevil control can meet world demand with a profit. He compares weather-reliant farming to gambling and stresses seed selection, fertilization, cultivation, and industrial approaches to safeguard the cotton industry and national prominence.
