Boll Weevil Here
Mr. E. T. Ramsey who resides
on J. E. Comer's farm near Tip
was in town Saturday exhibit
ing a genuine boll weevil and al
so the lock of cotton in which he
found the pest. Mr. Ramsey
moved here two years ago from
Starkville, Miss., which is in the
boll weevil district and he says
he knows by previous and sad
experience that we now have the
genuine article in Woodruff
County. He says that the quick
est way for us to diversify our
crops is too slow and two or
three more cotton crops is all
that we may expect at best.
The weevil and cotton is now on
exhibition at Carson's Meat
Market.
