Dr. Armstrong Says Blueberries Safe From Weevils, July 3, 1923

Says Weevils Didn’t Invade Berry Patch

Salisbury, July 2—Reports that the boll weevil had got into blackberries and made them unfit for human consumption gained such headway in parts of this county that Dr. W.A. Armstrong, county health officer, has issued a denial. W.G. Yeager, who calls himself the weevil’s most uncompromising foe in the county, also has come out on the pest’s side in this case to say that no weevil likes blackberries and to advise humans to eat and preserve all they can.
