111. What effect has Flooding of a Cotton Field 



by Infiltration from high Nile 



on the Numbers of the Pink Bollworm 



in that field? 



Duiiui* the j)ast suniincr I have hccn cxpcrinicnlin^ 

 with lamp tia|)s as a possililc means of controlling tlic 

 pink l)ollv\()ini. Rccoids ohtainid IVom these tra])s tend 

 to show — or so it seems lo me — that heavy Hooding of 

 a lowlying field ol' cotton by infiltration from a high 

 Nile is decidi'dly unlaNourahle to the |)ink holhvonii. 

 The reason I put I'oiward this theory is the sudden 

 di'op which look |)lace in the number of moths caught 

 snl)se<juent to l!ie field being flooded. I am aware. 

 howe\ cr, thai there are othei' factors \\ hich may possii)ly 

 ha\(' been the cause and so, at present, do not wisli to 

 make any dogmatic stateuu'ul on llu' sui)ject, hut to give 

 the liguics and my |)ersonal inler])retalioii of tiieiii.
