Farmers urged to buy insecticides early in 1941 Texas
In College Station the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station warns cotton growers to stock up on insecticides now. Chief entomologist Dr. F L Thomas says 1941 will see heavy boll weevil and flea hopper activity and widespread cotton bollworms and leafworms later in summer due to mild Texas winter and favorable moisture and temperatures. Emergence started already at about 3 percent versus 5 percent normal, signaling early and ongoing damage expected across the infested area.
