When the boll weevil threatened most the Mississippi Delta, it put the state’s cotton crop in peril.

The boll weevil depends on cotton for every stage of its life.
Name Meaning
English: from Middle English schepherde ‘shepherd’ (composed of words meaning ‘sheep’ + ‘herdsman’ or ‘guardian’), hence an occupational name for a shepherd. This English form of the name has absorbed cognates and equivalents from several other languages (for forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988 ).
