A 1904 address by D. F. Houston on the outlook for American cotton production, focusing on the spread of the Mexican boll weevil through Texas since 1892-93 and its effect on yields. It includes a boll weevil spread map of Texas and county production comparisons. It also covers farm methods to cope with the pest, tenancy and yield statistics from the census, and the broader post-Civil War agricultural progress of the South (corn, forage, livestock, truck and fruit farming, farm numbers and values).
