Weevil-Exterminator

Patent for a new and useful improvement in weevil exterminators that provides a comparatively simple and effective apparatus for removing boll weevils from cotton plants. It also removes the injured or affect leaves and fruit that have been attacked by the boll weevil so that further injury to the plants may be prevented, and at the same time gather from the ground at the roots of the rows of cotton plants the leaves and rubbish detached from the plants.
