Cotton Fruiting
Well in County
Cotton in Cooke county is
fruiting exceptionally well,
though the stalks are smaller
than usual due to lack of rain,
County Agent B. T. Haws said
today.
To date cotton farmers in the
county report that the insect
count on the plants has been
very low, with the boll weevil
and flea hopper accounting for
most of those reported.
Haws has made a detailed
check of cotton in the area for
the past two months and is urg-
ing farmers not to use poison on
their plants unless a heavy infes-
tation of boll wevils and flea
hoppers is found. He said that
poison kills many beneficial in-
sects which are found in cotton
fields.
He estimated that 10,000 acres
of cotton have been planted in
the county this year, a reduction
of 4,000 to 5,000 acres over last
year’s cotton acreage in Cooke
county.
