2. What happened to the farm laborers after the Boll Weevil showed up?

Farming Cotton

Boll weevils eat all the buds off the plants; they destroy any cotton that the plants manage to produce by eating and laying eggs in the cotton. ... In the past, many farmers turned to farming peanuts and other crops after boll weevils destroyed their ability to produce cotton.

Hope this makes sense and helps!!!

Have a great day
