Formula To Save Cotton Crop

At the Jot 'em Down Store, Abner has been made "Dr. Peabody," head chemist of the Edwards and Peabody Chemical Company, to sell L's potato-bug spray while Grandpappy Spears looks on skeptically. With the community picnic pulling everyone away and Elizabeth stuck working her crops, Lum and Abner realize the same formula that kills potato bugs may wipe out boll weevils threatening Pine Ridge cotton. They decide to take what formula remains and test it on the weevils, hoping the Hemstead invention can save the cotton crop after all.
