South Carolina. F. Sherman, et al, (July 29): Below normal in most parts 
of the State. 
F. E. Bondy, . et al, (July 27): : Still. scarce in Florence County. 
Average infestation of all plots examined during the week was l.J. percent 
as compared to 59*1 percent in 1938 and' 68. 9 percent, in 1939 * 
Georgia. P. M. Gilmer, et al. (July 27):, Numbers, have not increased in Tift 
County as anticipated, although there is some rise. Few fields run 
over 10 percent, and many as low as 1 percent. Hot weather during the 
week caused some death of larvae ip fallen squares, examination of some 
hundreds of squares giving about 30 -phrcent "average 'mortality*, as com-' 
• pared with from 1 to 5 percent in previous weeks, 
L, W. Morgan (July 26):' No migrations, have occurred in Lowndes 
and Echols Counties and the highest infestation for this week is 1,6

E. T. Harwell (July 26): Infestation has. increased very rapidly 
• during the week in Berrien and Cook Counties, 'highest infestation was 
16,17 percent, an increase of 4,67 percent since last week. The lowest 
infestation was I .83 percent, an increase of 1.5 percent;' 
Florida, C. S. Ende, et al, ..(July 27): Infestation has increased rapidly 
during the last week, the average infestation being 8. 06 percent last 
week and 7»75 percent this week, ’ ' Thi s apparent contradiction is due to 
the fact that the infestation in a few fields, very high a week ago, 
has been reduced by treatments. For the week ended July 30* 1938, the 
average infestation was 63.6 percent, and for the week ended July 29, 
1939 * it was 38.7 percent. ■ 
Alabama, J. M. Eobinson (July l6): Infestation at Auburn is approximately 
2 percent, 
Mississippi, C. Lyle, et al.- (July 29)* Except in a few counties the infesta- 
tion remains very low. Examinations on 77 farms 'in 33 counties showed 
only 47 infested, the average being 10 percent, as Compared with 6 
percent last week and 28 percent on this date in 1939 * Five high 
infestations in Lauderdale and Wayne Counties accounted for the 10-percent 
average, and without these the average for the State was only 5 percent.
