A watercolor cartoon illustration depicts an old cotton farmer in a straw hat, a plaid shirt with suspenders, and brown pants, bending over in a cotton field. He has a concerned and surprised look on his face as he spots a large, brown beetle perched on a fluffy white cotton boll. He wants to know why the boll weevil had to pick his farm to settle. The Boll Weevil says he's looking for a home for him and his family, and he just found it.
This is a take-off on the Brook Benton song about the boll weevil. The song was somewhat humorous, but boll weevils caused economic devastation to farmers in the early 19th century. We now use a variety of strategies to combat them.
