This book was prepared to furnish information on farming in the boll
weevil territory. Special attention has been given to the production of
cotton in infested districts and to showing how to adopt a system of
farming which has been found profitable by many farmers in boll weevil
territories. It was written by a man who has had practical experience all
his life in growing cotton in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. He later
devoted a number of years to the special study of the boll weevil in the
cotton fields of these states as special agent for the Farmers'
Co-operative Demonstration Work. In addition to this, he is acquainted
with the financial and economic conditions throughout the cotton belt.
