424 REPORT UPON COTTON INSECTS. 



i 



We are of the opinion that there are no winds from the south strong enough to coun- 

 teract the prevailing trade-winds. [S. P. Odoin, Dooly. 

 Not often ; only occasionally. [ W. A. Harris, Worth. 

 I do not believe there are. [William Jones, Clarke. 

 It is thought not. [D. P. Luke, Berrien. 



LOUISIANA. 



I think there are. [H. B. Shaw, Concordia. 



I do not think there are winds from the south that are sufficiently strong and con- 

 stant to counteract the trade-winds. [John A. Marymau, East Feliciana. 



MISSISSIPPI, 



. The trade-winds referred to are those along the Gulf stream, off the Atlantic coast 

 I presume, and have nothing to do with our inland currents ; but if referring to the 

 equatorial and polar currents, that form the trade-winds near the equator, I do not 

 think that there are any southerly winds in this latitude that are strong enough to 

 counteract the polar current moving towards the equator. [Dr. E. H. Anderson, Mad- 

 ison. 



There are certainly such winds here. [C. Welch, Covington. 



I do not believe there are. The winds are rarely very strong, but constant. [Ken- 

 neth Clarke, Chickasaw. 



Yes ; beyond a doubt nearly every year, perhaps I should say every year, such winds 

 occur. [D. L. Phares, Wilkinson. 



Hardly think so; we generally have light winds. [J. W. Burch, Jefferson. 



Our strongest winds are all from the south. [C. F. Sherriod, Lowndes. 



Rarely ever have strong winds from the south long at a time; our strongest winds 

 are from southwest and southeast. [W. Spillman, Clark. 



NORTH CAROLINA. 



Yes. [ J. Evans, Cumberland. 



SOUTH CAROLINA. 



During June, July, and August we have strong south winds, beginning about eight 

 o'clock in the morning and lasting until late at night, plenty strong enough to bring 

 moths from a great distance. [Paul S. Felder, Orangeburg. 



Only in the months of February, March, and September. [James W. Grace, Colle- 

 ton. 



In this locality the winds from the south are sufficient to counteract the trade- 

 winds. [James C. Brown, Barn well. 



TENNESSEE. 



Prevailing winds of July are from southwest and south, latter predominating. I 

 cannot remember to have observed winds from the south sufficiently strong to have 

 couteracted the prevailing trade-winds toward the equator. [A. W. Hunt, M. D., 

 Perry. 



There are times when our sonth and southwest winds are strong enough to counter- 

 act any other. [John McMillan, Decatur. 



TEXAS. 



The south winds many years ago, I believe, were more frequent and stronger than 

 later years; hence I am satisfied it rains more frequently and more rain falls through 

 the year than it did thirty and thirty-five years ago. I do not think the north winds 

 prevail to that extent during the winter months, neither are they generally as cold. I 

 cannot say with a degree of certainty whether the south winds are sufficiently strong 

 to counteract the trade- winds which are toward the equator. [O. H. P. Garrett, Wash- 

 ington. 



These are caused by the large surface of prairie in the State, which turn our north- 

 east trade, or what would be such, to south-southeast or southwest. [W. Barnes, 

 Cherokee. 



We are too far inland to be affected by trade-winds ; our winds are more like sea- 

 breezes. We are about 2.~>0 miles inland. [J. M. Glasco, Upshur. 



Yes. [Saul Davis, Hunt. 



There are. [H. J. H. Brensing, Miller. 



They are strong and constant enough. [Reed Wipprecht, Comal. 



Do not believe our winds are sufficiently stroug or continuous to have any effect on 

 the trade-winds. [P. S. Clarke, Waller. 



I think winds from the south are strong enough to counteract winds toward the 

 equator. [P. S. Watts, Hardiu. 



In some years the winds are sufficiently strong to have that effect. I have noticed 

 that the strong winds from the south and southwest generally occur in a dry year.
