QUESTION If. What has been done toivard destroying the eggs f 



ALABAMA. 



Nothing has ever been done to destroy the eggs, and I presume never will be. They 

 are deposited in little squares on the under side of the cotton-leaf. [H. Hawkins, 

 Barbour. 



Nothing. [J. R. Rogers, Bullock. 



Nothing, as far as I know. It takes a good eye to find them, and I think nothing 

 but gas or spray would reach them. [C. C Howard, Autauga. 



Nothing. They are very small, barely visible to the natural eye placed singly, the 

 moth rarely ever placing more than one on the under side of the leaf. Other moths 

 use the same leaf, and often five or six eggs are found on a leaf. [P. T. Graves,
