' ■ * ‘V 
Georgia. P. M. Gilmer, et al. (September 9): A few present in Tift, Cook, v 
Berrien, Lowndes, and Echols Counties. Some lint damage noted in a few 
f ields. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (September 25 ): Some local heavy infestations of Aphis 
gossypii Glov. reported from the Meridian district. Considerable damage 
reported as following treatment for the "boll weevil in several sections. 
E. W. Dunnam, et al, (September l 6 ) : The general infestation is increas- 
ing in Washington County. Now apparent that the population will equal that 
of last year. (September 22): Peak of damage past. Most cotton has 
matured out to the top leaves and migration has taken place, resulting in a 
general scattering of the population. Many winged forms present on almost 
all the leaves, 
Louisiana. R. C. Gaines and assistants (September 2): Infestation still heavy 
in many fields in Madison Parish. Heavy shedding of cotton leaves has 
occurred in many fields not heavily infested. (September l 6 )j Infestations 
have greatly decreased, owing to the work of their insect enemies, 
WHITSELIES (Aleurodidae) 
Mississippi. E. W. Dunnam, et al, (September 10 ) i Abundant in plots in W ashing to? 
County that have been treated. (September 22); Almost wiped out by a 
parasite thought to be Eretmoqerus hal deman i How., which was .thus identi- 
fied when collected last season. (Det, by A. B. Gahan. ) Not 1 whitefly 
emerged from 1,000 pupae. Many leaves almost black with pupae but adults 
hard to locate. Laboratory tests show that a sample that is not 100-per- 
cent parasitized is hard to find.
