R. L. Me Gar r and C. A. Wilson (September 10): Thick where cotton is still 
squaring in Oktibbeha' and Lowndes Counties, Unless cotton is stripped by- 
leaf worms ( Alabama * argillacea Hbn. ) and weevils starved out, there should 
be a large number to go into hibernation. (September 17): Late-planted 
cotton in Oktibbeha and Lowndes Counties made only about half a crop, low 
production being chiefly due to boll weevil damage, 
E. W. Lunnam, et al. (September 10): Very plentiful and found in all 
typos of cotton in ?/ashington County. Squares still available for food, 
and all squares heavily damaged as a result of weevil feeding, (September 
17): Plentiful in almost all fields. Several noted taking honeydew from 
nectaries on Sea Island cotton, suggesting that satisfactory food is scarce. 
Second growth noticeable on some cotton. (September 23): Still plentiful 
in most fields and plenty of food available. 
Louisiana. C. 0, Eddy (September): Abundant in late cotton. 
M. T. Young and assistants (September 10): Pound in great numbers in all 
fields of young cotton in Madison Parish. (September 2l): ■ Pood for boll 
weevils very scarce in Madison Parish before the recent outbreak of cotton 
leaf worn and now almost entirely absent. Defoliation of cotton should 
greatly reduce the number of weevils entering hibernation. (September 24): 
Numerous in*fields that have not been completely defoliated, 
Oklahoma, C. P, Smiles (September 22): Population has increased in the south- 
eastern quarter of the State during the last month. Very little top crop 
will be produced in many of the southeastern counties. 
. P. A. F e nton (September 20): Much more" abundant in the vicinity of Still- 
water, Payne County, than since 1935* despite defoliation of cotton by 
cotton leaf worm. 
Texas. K. P. Ewing, et al. (September 10): Comparatively scarce, although where 
squares are present on some late— planted cotton, weevils may be found con- 
centrated in fair numbers. 
P. W. Moreland, et al, (September 24): Survey of several fields of late- 
planted cotton in Brazos and Burleson Counties revealed a fairly heavy weevil 
population. 
* GRAPE COLASPIS ( Colaspis brun.nea P. ) 
Texas, W. S. Millington (September 22): Production in 3 acres of cotton in 
Brazoria County completely destroyed by this beetle. 
A CERAMBYCID ( Prionu s sp.) 
Alabama.*, J, M. Robinson (September 26): Mature cotton stalks attacked at Payette, 
Payette County. Stalks dying after attack by the larvae at the base. Several 
fields of cotton in this area affected. .
