COTTON HARVEST
MOVING ALONG
Harvesting of the big cotton
crop Is moving along fairly
good, but there Is a lot of cotton
yet to be harvested. Let’s not
consider the Job completed un-
til the stalks are destroyed. By
destroying the stalks before
frost, the boll weevil, which is
building up very rapidly now,
will have his food supply cut
off, thus starving most of them
out before dext spring’s cotton
will be big enough to furnish
him food.
This is exactly what happened
to the weevil this year. Last
fall was so dry that cotton was
not fruiting and furnishing
weevils food. They went into
the winter in a very weekened
condition. Cotton was late this
spring, and most of the weevils
starved. The practice of de-
stroying stalks before frost has
proven to be the best and most
economical method of controll-
ing this pest.

Texas this year ranks 8th
among the states in the number
of eggs prociuced but 36th in
prices received by the produc-
ers. Only 64 per cent as many
chickens were produced in 1953
as during the 10 year period
jfrom 1942-51. Greatest oppor-
tunities for commercial egg
producers in Texas seem to be
locations near the state’s heavy
"^population centers.
