APPENDIX II ANSWERS TO CIKCULAK. 407 



August is the month when they have done their greatest damage. [R. W. Russell, 

 LowiHles. 



From che 15th of August to tha 10th of September. [H.C. Brown, Wilcox. 



From the loth of August to the 15th of September. [D. Lee, Lowndes. 



September. [J. D. Driesbach, Baldwin. 



August. [James M. Harrington, Monroe. 



August. J. C. Matthews, Dale. 



July and August. [Knox, Minge, and Evans, Hale. 



When they appear in June to any considerable extent they are apt by September to 

 become so numerous as to clean out our fields. We calculate always that the third 

 crop or generation will clean our fields, and we count six weeks a generation from the 

 time the caterpillar webs up until the egg hatches and the young worm begins to 

 eat the leaf. Hence that brings us to September, but of course the time of the first 

 pppearance has much to do with the time when they eat up our fields. [Andrew Jay, 

 Conscuh. 



The most injury is done in July and August. The greatest injury done any year 

 was in 1S73, eating up the crop in July. If they do not come till late in September 

 they do but little harm. [H. Hawkins, Barbour. 



The greatest injury is done in August and September. [R. B. Dunlap, Greene. 



August and latter part of July. [ J. R. Rogers, Bullock. 



I never knew the caterpillar to attack cotton earlier than July. I have seen it on 

 cotton in June, but evidently there must be a certain state of material of the plant 

 before the worm will eat. It may be said, therefore, that July the latter part is the 

 earliest season in this latitude that damage is done. [ J. W. Du Bose, Montgomery. 



In my immediate locality, during the month of September, between the 5th and 

 15th if the crop is forward, and from the 10th to the 30th, if the crop is backward. 

 They benefit us, coming after the first of October, when the plant has a vigorous 

 growth, by cutting off the leaves and exposing the bolls to the sun, a great many of 

 which would otherwise fail to mature. [M. W. Hand, Greene. 



In August and early in September ; much more destruction, however, in August, as 

 less of the crop is then mature. [R. H. Powell, Bullock. 



The greatest injury is done during August and September dependent on localities. 

 [A. D. Edwards, Macon. 



There cannot be any doubt in this section but that the month of August is when the 

 greatest injury is done to cotton by the worm. [P. D. Bowles, Conecuh. 



August and September. [H. A. Stolen werck, Perry. 



ARKANSAS. 



During August, in the full of the moon, worms are most destructive. [E. T. Dale, 

 Miller. 



From the 10th of July to the 15th of August. [T. S. Edwards, Pope. 

 August and September. [Norborne Young, Columbia. 



FLORIDA. 



August is the month, in this section, in which the greatest destruction has been 

 done. I have never known cotton materially injured by the caterpillar earlier here, 

 and of course any time later is less destructive. The later the destruction the less the 

 damage, as withered and nearly matured bolls are all that escape destruction. [F. M. 

 Meekiu, Alachua. 



July and August. The top crop, which is made in the last days of August and to 

 the 10th of September, is never injured to much extent by the worm. [J. M. McGee- 

 hee, Santa Rosa. 



August. [John Bradford, Leon. 



July. [John B. Carrin, Taylor. 



July and August formerly August and September ; difference caused by earlier ma- 

 turity of cotton, attributed to improved seeds. [R. Gamble, Leon. 



GEORGIA. 



When the moth appears in the month of August it does the greatest injury. When 

 appearing in the latter part of September or October it does but little damage, as all 

 blooms after September 15 never reach perfection. [S. P. Odom, Dooly. 



September. [E. M. Thompson, Jackson. 



July and August. [A. J. Cheves, Macou. 



July and August. [William A. Harris, Worth.

Last of June and July. [D. P. Luke, Berrien. 



July and September. [Timothy Fussell, Coffee.
