“It is difficult to tell at this stage of this year’s cotton production just how much more damage has been done by the boll weevil in fields where dusting was not done than fields where dusting was done regularly,” said Governor A.W. McLean here yesterday before leaving for Raleigh.
“Cotton has taken a worse backset during the past few weeks than at any time during the season, but the continued dry weather is causing it to mature rapidly, and a fair crop may be expected” he stated.
Governor McLean spent Saturday and Sunday here with Mrs. McLean and children, who accompanied him from Raleigh, and who will remain at the McLean home here for a few days.
