A synopsis of Horace E. Stockbridge’s address in which he discusses the loss of agricultural products to boll weevils is related to the farming practices of uneducated African American laborers. Once educated in modern methods by fellow African Americans, these farmers and, thus, the cotton industry will no longer be impacted by the “weevil problem.”
