470 REPORT UPON COTTON INSECTS 



Never have seen jute near cotton and cannot say. [John C. Russell, Madison. 



Nothing. [D.L . Phares, Wilkinson. 



It has as yet not been tried here. [George V. Webb, Amite. 



SOUTH CAROLINA. 



We have never planted or seen planted the jute, so of our own knowledge know 

 nothing of its effects; although we have seen an essay wherein it was stated that a 

 field around which a row of jute was planted in Texas was not touched by the worm 

 during a destructive worm season and when the cotton all around was destroyed. 

 [James W. Grace, Colleton. 



TENNESSEE. 



I know nothing of the influence of jute grown in the vicinity of the cotton-field. 

 [A. W. Hunt. M. D., Perry. 



TEXAS. 



Several years ago the Agricultural Department furnished packages of jute-seed to 

 farmers with the request they would plant with a view to its effect on the cotton- 

 worm ; but few tried it, and they expressed the opinion that if a sufficient breadth be 

 planted it might arrest their progress while traveling. [J. M. Glasco, Upshur. 



Jute has never been grown here. [Samuel Davis, Hunt. 



Nothing. I planted jute near a cotton-field, but only a few seed came up. [P. S. 

 Watts, Hardin. 



Have never tried the effect of jute grown near cotton. [O. H. P. Garrett, Wash- 

 ington. 



Nothing. [S. B. Tackaberry, Polk. 



Nothing. [W. Barnes, Cherokee. 



Nothing. [P. S. Clarke, Waller. 



No influence. [R. Wipprecht, Comal. 



Have no experience. It is said though that hemp planted around cotton-fields will 

 to some extent prevent the approach of the moth ; jute being an analogous plant may 

 have the same effect. [J. H. Krancher, Austin. 



Know nothing of the influences of jute, but have seen many other similar notions 

 tried and fail. [W. T. Hill, Walker. 



Never heard of any being planted. [C. B. Richardson, Rusk. 



None whatever. [ J. W. Jackson, Titus. 



Never have grown any or seen any growing. [Natt. Holman, Fayette. 



QUESTION Id. Has any effort been made to destroy the moth in ite winter-quarters f 



ALABAMA. 



No. [R. F. Henry, Pickens. 



None. [I. F. Culver, Bullock. 



None. [R. S. Williams, Montgomery. 



I do not believe the moth has any " winter-quarters." Have never seen a moth in 

 winter. [J. N. Gilmore, Sumter. 



None. The opinion is held, I think correctly, that the moths that spend the winter 

 fail to find cotton-plants upon which to deposit their eggs, and consequently fail to 

 propagate, so any effort to destroy them would be wasted. [P. T. Graves, Lowndes. 



No. [J. A. Calaway, Montgomery. 



The moth's winter-quarters are in shuck-pens, fodder-lofts, attics, hollow trees, un- 

 der pine bark, in rotten wood, &c., perfectly inaccessible to man. [Dr. John Peurifoy, 

 Montgomery. 



Not that I am aware of. [ J. D. Driesbach, Baldwin. 



None. [Knox, Mirigo, and Evans, Macon. 



None. [James M. Harrington, Monroe. 



None.-[R. H. Powell, Bullock. 



None that I know of. [H. A. Stolenwerck, Perry. 



None. [C. M. Howard, Autauga. 



None. [M. W. Hand, Greene. 



No effort made. [H. C. Brown, Wilcox 



None. [J. W. Du Bose, Montgomery. 



Think not ; never heard of any one attempting to do so in winter. [P. D. Bowles, 

 Conecuh. 



None. [ J. C. Matthews, Dale. 



Not within my knowledge. [C. C. Howard, Autanga. 



I know of no effort to destroy the moth. [R. W. Russell, Lowndes. 



I have never heard of any. Any such effort would be altogether impracticable.
