the stalks.
The seasons are proimising
for good crops in 1924, and as
we have said, with the whole
cotton area infested, we need
not expect a very large crop to

some have complained that
they tore off more fruit than

however, that this was largely
the fault in running or waiting
too long to begin their use.
