Signs Point Toward a Bountiful
Crop for Carroll this Year
We believe that if the farmers will continue to
work their crops up till September and will poison
the weevil and pick up the dropping forms, Carroll
county will make more cotton than we all can pick.
If the weather is just right for the BUG during
this month, he can cut out an awful big bite for his
share. Watch him and fight him with all your pow
ers.
