I They are busy now and coupled

1195i crop an expensive one.
Last year's less amounted to an
estimated 342,600 bales of lint and
approximately 1-12.600 tons of cot-
tons of cottonseed, says Free-
man Fuller, Jr., assistant exten-
sion entomologist. The figures
were developed by the National
Cotton Council trom basic data
released earlier by the USDA, re-
ports the specialist.
The top "culprit in the cotton
patch’’ last year was the boil
weevil and was responsible for
reducing yields by an estimated
two percent. A1 other cotton in-
sects raised the total loss to five
percent for the state.
