7 What is a boll weevil and how did the drought effect Georgia?
A boll weevil is a small, gray, long-snouted beetle that attacks the cotton plant. Originally came from Mexico The larvae feed on the white, fluffy cotton resulting in vast destruction of crops. Droughts in Georgia result in devastation of crops, leaving a lower supply of food for families and their animals. In addition to the boll weevil, Georgia farmers have been hurt primarily by droughts. The 1924 drought resulted in: workers moving away to seek jobs, a decline in the number of working farms, and banks facing losses of assets (due to the money they had previously loaned to farmers). Although the drought had harsh effects on other crops it DID slow down the destruction of the boll weevil on the cotton plants.
