REPORT OF J. P. STELLE. [SS] 



or " piebald " spot here and there on some of their interiors — your solution is just 

 right. These very slight scorches are what you want to see — while they will not 

 damage your crop in the least, they will assure you that you are giving the worms a 

 Aose suflScieutly strong to make a rapid and thorough finish of their work as cotton 

 destroyers. With your solution at this strength you need have no fears of injuring 

 your plants, put it on as you may ; for, unlike a liquid merely holding a poison in 

 suspension, every drop applied is the same in its effect! 



Respectfully submitted, January 1, 1881. 



J. P. STELLE. 



Prof. C. V. Riley, 



Chief U. S. Eniomological Commission.
