384 REPORT UPON COTTON INSECTS. 



Cotton was raised in Harrison County in 1846, and in Upshur County in 1347 ; but 

 sparsely, as there were no gius. [J. M. Glascoe, Gilmer. 



The first cotton raised in this county in 1857. The culture of it was abandoned in 

 1860, and taken up again in 1868. [A" Schroeter, Burnet. 



1853, in this county. From the beginning of the war until 1867 no cotton was 

 raised. [R. Wipprecht, Cotnal. 



In the year 18-21 Jared E. Grace came to this State (Texas) and brought the first 

 cotton seed, and planted it the next year. In 1823 planted the unginned seed ; then 

 gins were imported, and the first gin-house was built in the Brazos, about three miles 

 from here. [P. S. Clarke, Waller. 



Cherokee County organized in 1846. Cotton grown many years before. [Walter 

 Barnes, Cherokee. 



Cotton was first raised in the county in 1865 [Samuel Davis, Hunt. 



In the State (I have no authentic information in the county), in che year 1845, and 

 in this locality in 1846. [J. W. Jackson, Titus. 



Captain Burnham had a small patch of cotton growing in 1835 and 1836. [Xatt.

QUESTION 1 a. During what year did the worm first maJceite appearance in your locality, 

 and, as far as you are aware, in the State ; in other words, how many years elapsed after cot- 

 ton first began to be grown before tlie worm began to work upon itf 



ALABAMA. 



About thirteen years elapsed before the worm made its appearance in sufficient force 

 to damage cotton; it appeared in 1830. [J. S. Hausberger, Bibb. 



First appearance in my locality was about the year 1861, as nearly as I can recol- 

 lect. [ J. A. Callaway, Montgomery. 



One of my neighbors says that it was first noticed in this part of Alabama in l-i:!-'ll. 

 My impression is, that it was here before that time. At least we had what was then 

 called the " army worm," and I think that it destroyed cotton as well as grass ; but I 

 cannot speak positively on this subject. [H. Tutwiler, Hale. 



Cotton-worm appeared here in 1828, and did considerable damage to the cotton 

 crop. [Jason Jones, Montgomery. 



1846. Not less than thirty years. [H. A. Stollenwerck, Perry. 



The worm first made its appearance in this locality in 1847. I am not aware of their 

 having made their appearance before that time in the State. [A. D. Edwards, Macon. 



About the year 1848 or 1849. [H. C. Brown, Wilcox. 



The cotton in this part of the State has never been troubled by the cotton- worm. 

 [W. M. Douglass, Madison. 



In Alabama the worm began to attract attention in 1837. [J. M. McGehee, Santa 

 Rosa, Fla. 



1852. Twenty-two years after cotton was first crown. [Knox, Minge & Evans, 

 Hale. 



According to my memory the cotton crop was eaten up in my locality in 1826 or 1827. 

 I think that was about their first appearance. [Andrew Jay, Conecuh. 



Caterpillar made its first appearance in 1--15. Was not general even in this county 

 but were very destructive in 1846. [H. Hawkins, Barbour. 



The worm first made its appearance in this locality in 1845. [R. B. Dunlap, Greene. 



During 1846, and were more numerous then than they have ever been since. About 

 ten years after cotton was planted the worms made their appearance in this neighbor- 

 hood. [J. R. Rogers, Bullock. 



1824. My locality was at that time Burnt Corn, Monroe County, Alabama, latitude 

 31 42'. The worms came late and were not numerous and did no damage. The 

 same year they were reported in Southwest Georgia. In 1825 they were numerous here 

 by the 1st of October ; did not go farther than latitude 32. [David Lee, Lowndes. 



Cotton-worms first made their appearauce in this county in the year 1825, which 

 makes eight years from the first planted to the coming of the worms. [P. D. Bowles, 

 Conecuh. 



The cotton-worm was first noticed from about 1828 to 1830; and some think their 

 existence was known within one or two years after cotton was first cultivated. 

 [Charles M. Howard, Autauga. 



First appearance to attract attention, 1836. [I. D. Driesbach, Baldwin. 



From 1833 to 1842 the worm was here, but too late each year to do much damage 

 other than litter the cotton. [J. C. Matthews, Dale. 



About 1840. Don't know of any in the State before that time. [James M. Harring- 

 ton, Monroe. 



Worms first appeared in 1844, about the 15th of September. [George W. Thagard, 

 Crenshaw.
