a certainty that it will be put in

This is one of the most ideal

801 l Weevils Are
Damaging Crops
As evidence of the fact that
the boll weevil is playing havoc
in Treutlen county, Mr. C. T.
Thigpen brought to town Mon -
day afternoon a fair sample of
a twelve acre tract on his farm.
Out of five stalks that came off
this tract, which under norma?
conditions would yield about
thirty-five boils to the stalk,
there was found four good bolls.
Bolls which outwardly lodked
to be in perfect condition, when
opened would yield a worm.
This is evidence of the fact that
after all the squares have been
punctured the weevils go for
the bolls.
Os course not all the crops
in the county are in such condi
tion as the twelve-acre tract on
Mr. Thigpen’s plantation, but
suffice to say there is not a farm
in Treutlen county that will not
be affected before the crop ma
lures.
Mr. J. A. Thigpen

Mr. J. A. Thigpen of the firm
of J. A. Thigpen & Bro., is
