re: Does anyone else remember telling a man in a booth, "No cotton" crossing state lines?

Mississippi did not have cotton boll weevils and was trying to keep it that way. Didn’t want their cotton crops infected. No idea if they succeeded or not

They apparently did not succeed, as there are now boll weevils pretty much everywhere in the south. Mississippi does have an organized boll weevil eradication program that has controlled them very well.
