| 520 | _a"How to Prosper in Boll Weevil Territory" by George Howard Alford is a practical agricultural guide written in the early 20th century. This book focuses on effective farming strategies in regions affected by the cotton boll weevil, a pest that significantly hampers cotton production. The content is aimed at cotton farmers looking to optimize their crops while contending with the challenges posed by the weevil infestation. The book offers a detailed examination of various strategies for successful cotton farming, emphasizing the importance of early crop planting, crop diversification, and pest management. Alford advises farmers to reduce their cotton acreage to enhance productivity and encourages the use of fertilizers and early-fruiting cotton varieties to ensure quick maturation of crops. Furthermore, he stresses the need for farmers to eliminate potential food sources for the boll weevil, such as cotton stalks and fallen squares, and to adopt a rotation system that includes a variety of crops to sustain the farm's profitability. Through a combination of anecdotal evidence and practical recommendations, Alford presents a pathway for farmers to thrive despite the challenges presented by the boll weevil.
